I’m as excited about the current crop of Anaheim Ducks prospects as anyone. It’s been fun to see what the young kids can do, and I can't wait to be free of the old man retirement contracts given to Antoine Vermette, Kevin Bieksa, and Francois Beauchemin (although I am glad that Beauch has come home to retire a Duck). I can't wait to see them replaced by Sam Steel, Jacob Larsson or... well, literally anyone. Throwing up and comers like Max Jones in the mix with Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Rickard Rakell, amongst others, rings the cup contender bell in minds eye.
