As the core of the group is getting older, the play-off window seems to be closing.
What then would be the explanation as to why Ryan Kesler got a six-year extension?
With him, we are competitive but not good enough to conquer the west.
Anaheim has a wealth of young defenseman that can be used to address their need for a top-6 winger and scoring depth.
Even if it means losing a top prospect.
This is why it makes sense for Anaheim to be the big dog at the table.
So I have compiled a short list of players I feel the Anaheim Ducks should go for.
