Last season many Gulls players got their first taste of NHL hockey as their parent club, the Anaheim Ducks, dealt with a glut of injuries. This season, the Ducks need to get younger, more skilled, and faster in order to compete.

Some of this season’s Gulls will be spending the majority of the 2018-19 with the Anaheim Ducks. Which of the Gulls need to ditch their leases in Ocean Beach and pack up for the trip up the 5? Here are our top five.

Ground rules:

1) The player must have played for the Gulls last season. That means Troy Terry, Max Jones, Sam Steel, Josh Mahura, and Maxime Comtois are ineligible for this list.

2) The player cannot have already solidified their spot on the Anaheim Ducks roster. That leaves Marcus Pettersson off of this list. He has earned a roster spot with Anaheim already and will have one unless Ducks general manager Bob Murray decides to go on a signing spree.

3) The player cannot have significant NHL experience. Yes, Korbinian Holzer played for the Gulls last season. But he has 135 NHL games under his belt. He is ineligible, even though he scored zero points in 16 games with the Ducks last season.
