No, this is not a cry to trade everybody, blow up the roster and earn a No. 1 overall draft pick in hopes of selecting the next Sidney Crosby or Connor McDavid.

Ever since the Ducks won the Stanley Cup in 2006-07, the mantra has remained the same. The big, bad Ducks will fight for every puck and every inch of ice, oftentimes illegally, to win hockey games.
