The Anaheim Ducks have continued to take care of their own this summer. In the last 24 hours, the Ducks have inked RFA Kevin Roy as well as midseason acquisition Adam Henrique. Both figure to be big parts of the Ducks offense and overall team in 2018-19.

Just a few months ago, Ducks Nation experienced a postseason they would all like to forget. Heading into the summer, Anaheim Ducks GM Bob Murray knew he had many internal contracts he had to get done.

They had several important restricted free agents to deal with. Young players such as Ondrej Kase, Brandon Montour, Nick Ritchie, Kevin Roy, and Andy Welinski were all without contracts. Additionally, key members of the team John Gibson, Adam Henrique, and Jakob Silverberg were entering the final year of their current deals.

In his off-season comments to the media, Murray stressed the importance to get faster and play and overall faster game. Lucky for the GM, many of the players he was talking about are fast players and maybe more importantly young players. Over the last 24 hours, Murray has inked two of those players, and one of them to a long-term deal.
