Ducks Predicted to Land 2-Time All-Star in Massive Move

As the Anaheim Ducks enter a crucial offseason, the team has some hope for the first time in years. Bringing in veteran Joel Quenneville to be the head coach gives this team an experienced leader behind the bench.

But if the Ducks want to compete for the postseason, the roster is going to need some major updates. This could see the Ducks be very active this summer, and many around the NHL are expecting Anaheim to do something big.

Tristin McKinstry of ClutchPoints linked the Ducks with two-time All-Star Brock Boeser of the rival Vancouver Canucks. Boeser is scheduled to enter free agency, and the Ducks seem primed to make a splash this offseason.

"The Anaheim Ducks have seen a lot of Boeser over the years. Anaheim and the Canucks are Pacific Division rivals...the development has to some within the organization. However, adding veteran pieces falls within the front office's direct purview. Boeser makes sense as a top-six option for the Ducks. He can be an outlet for Carlsson and Ryan Strome on the top two lines. And he could help mentor the younger wingers such as Gauthier and Sam Colangelo."

The veteran wing scored 25 goals and 25 assists for the Canucks this past season over 25 games. His scoring ability could give the Ducks a major boost, and Anaheim could use someone like him to show the younger players the ropes.

With Quenneville now in the mix, a player like Boeser makes all the sense in the world. Anaheim seems ready to take that next step forward toward true contention, making this summer one of the more crucial for the franchise.
