The sting of watching a former player win a Cup hurts. Watching a former player that came through your system hurts even more. Enter former Anaheim Ducks player, Devante Smith-Pelly.
History
Drafted 42nd overall in 2010, Smith-Pelly spent almost four years in the Anaheim system before being traded to Montreal in late 2015 for Jiri Sekac. From Montreal, went to New Jersey and finally landed in Washington this past season. DSP and the Caps obviously went onto to claim Lord Stanley this postseason, and it begs the question: Did the Ducks give Smith-Pelly enough of a chance to prove himself?
