NHL Insider Reveals Ducks GM’s Unexpected Strategy on RFA Extensions—Could It Change the Franchise’s Future?
The Anaheim Ducks are the toast of the town in the NHL. General Manager Pat Verbeek believed his team would be a playoff team this season. Lots of people rolled their eyes. It was hard enough to make a 21-point jump in the standings last year. To do it again, considering the competition in the Western Conference, the odds were stacked against Anaheim.
However, Verbeek’s belief has carried over into the locker room, and the Anaheim Ducks have become one of the season’s surprise teams. New head coach Joel Quenneville has got this good mix of veterans and young players clicking on all cylinders. However, like any good general manager, he is always looking for ways to improve his club and prepare for the future, especially when it comes to signing players he believes will be part of the core moving forward.
