Before we start, I would like to take a moment for those that don’t want to read all the way through the article to say, and strongly stress that this is a situation the Anaheim Ducks should look at, not something that they should necessarily do. It is a situation where the Ducks might be able to benefit, but it would still be a fairly big gamble.
