Quick Look at Ducks Upcoming UFA’s and RFA’s

As the Stanley Cup Finals continue, and as it looks like the Anaheim Ducks will no longer be the only West Coast team to win the Cup, I just wanted to make a short post to update and inform you guys on which players on the Ducks roster are going to be unrestricted free agents, UFA’s, and/or restricted free agents, RFA’s. Starting with the guys on the big club.

NHL-level UFA’s and RFA’s:

• F – George Parros
• F – Teemu Selanne
• F – Jason Blake
• F – Nick Bonino (RFA)
• F – Niklas Hagman
• F – Rod Pelley
• D – Sheldon Brookbank
• G – Dan Ellis

AHL-level UFA’s and RFA’s:

• F – Jean-Francois Jacques
• D – Matt Smaby
• F – Luca Caputi (RFA)
• F – Troy Bodie
• D – Kyle Cumiskey (RFA)
• F – Patrick Maroon (RFA)
• G – Iiro Tarkki (RFA)
• F – Mark Bell
• F – Ryan O’Marra (RFA)

In the upcoming days, I’m going to start my look at the roster heading into next season. I’m going to talk about who the Ducks should resign and who they should let go. After that, I’m going to take a look at the players that are going to be available once July comes around and who I think the Ducks should take a look at and send an offer too. Even before that, talk about the draft that is in late June. Then after the main period of signing free agents, we get to start talking about the preseason and regular season preview. That sounds so great. So, there’s the general battle plan for the rest of the summer.
