The Ducks have already weathered the worst season start in recent memory, yet another game 7 loss (on home ice), and the firing of longtime head coach Bruce Boudreau, but the toughest challenge is still to come—and, for once, it doesn’t fall on the shoulders of those players in black and orange.
GM Bob Murray is faced with 7 UFAs entering the 2016-17 season; coupled with 5 RFAs—all of whom deserve significant pay raises—fans should settle in for an off-season as bumpy as that (horribly) memorable 1-7-2 start.
The key here is money.
