It’s the fourth Friday of the month, which means it’s time for the monthly Anaheim Ducks mailbag. You ask the questions and our Pucks of a Feather staff answers them.

Question 1) What should (Bob) Murray’s biggest priority be this summer?

Chris Bushell – Murray’s biggest priority needs to be locking up Montour and Kase and then at least having discussions with Henrique, Silf, and Gibson. The Ducks need to reload internally. With the cap increasing, and Murray’s track record overall for making good deals he should be able to get all of them signed.

Ed Stein – The number one priority for Anaheim Ducks GM Bob Murray is to get John Gibson’s signature on a long-term contract extension. The other restricted free-agents and walk year contracts may be good players, but Gibson is the future of this franchise. The Ducks go only as far as he can take them.

Jacob Robles – Resigning Henrique in my opinion. I really hope he comes back. Seems like he likes it here with us and sees potentially winning a cup with us.

Greg Johnson – The number one priority has to be signing their best player, John Gibson. I know the Ducks don’t like to pay their goalies. This one is different though. Murray should have a deal in hand and ready to announce July 1.

Blake Navarro – Well obviously signing Montour and Kase are huge. Two players that could be Ducks for a long time to come. I feel like that is the main point this offseason.

Ciara Durant – Aside from getting a contract extension for some of our key players, Murray really needs to focus on filling the giant hole we are about to have in our defense. With Bieksa and Beauchemin headed out the door, this is the perfect opportunity for Murray to bring in another seasoned veteran defenseman. We don’t want to start next season with a vulnerable defense.
