By Thomas Harrington As I’ve done for the past few years, I’m going to look through every team picking above the Ducks in the first round and seeing if there’s a deal to be made for Anaheim to move up at the draft. Honestly, I don’t really expect any of these deals to actually happen,…
By: Logan Orsini Austrian born Marco Rossi from the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League has been a force since being drafted 18th overall in the 2018 OHL Draft. Rossi put up 65 points in 53 games as a rookie last season. He was on a tear this year putting up a ridiculous 120…
By Thomas Harrington Now that I’ve reviewed all of Bob Murray’s drafts as GM of the Ducks from 2009-2015, and given an overview on Anaheim’s drafts from 2016-2019, it’s time to give Murray his final grade on his ability to draft players for the Ducks. In order to do this, I’m going to do a…
By Thomas Harrington Now that I’ve graded Bob Murray’s drafts from 2009 to 2015, I’m going to look back at Murray’s four most recent drafts. I won’t give a final grade, but I’ll give a brief overview of the prospects chosen and if I think it will end up being a good draft by the…

By Thomas Harrington Over a five year stretch from 2010 to 2014, the Anaheim Ducks had four very strong drafts. Unfortunately, their 2015 draft class was one of their weaker ones, and their grade is comparable to how they did in 2013. Making this even worse is that 2015 is known as one of the…
By Thomas Harrington After a less than stellar 2013 NHL Entry Draft, the Ducks had a much better one in 2014, though not without controversy. Florida held the first overall pick and they selected Aaron Ekblad. Going into the draft, the Ducks had two first-round picks: their own and the one that they acquired from…
By Michael Walters Since the National Hockey League was halted back in March, the league has continued to work to find a way to resume the 2019-20 season. The focus has mainly been on how to finish the 189 regular-season games if possible and/or how to award the Stanley Cup. Another concern for the league…
By Thomas Harrington The 2013 NHL Entry Draft was led by Nathan MacKinnon, and three of the top four picks have become legitimate NHL stars. After three relatively strong drafts in a row, Anaheim didn’t have a great 2013 draft. They had five picks but only one of them turned into an NHL player. The…
If there is one thing all Ducks fans know, it’s that Bob Murray is not afraid to draft in the Swedish Hockey pipeline. Murray could make yet another addition to “Swedenheim” this upcoming draft. Alexander Holtz is one of the top Swedish prospects in this year’s draft. He currently plays for Djurgärdens IF of the…
