NEWARK, NJ – DECEMBER 18: Ryan Getzlaf /

The offseason is when NHL teams attempt to improve their rosters. We have reached the midpoint and it’s fair to ask if the Anaheim Ducks are a better team now than they were last May.

We are over halfway through the NHL’s offseason. Around the league, trades have been made, free-agents have been signed, and the Entry Draft is far in the rearview mirror. As rosters are coming together, it’s a good time to take a look at the Anaheim Ducks squad.

Ducks General Manager Bob Murray said many times the team has to make some changes and get faster in order to compete in the current NHL. This is the question all of Ducks Nation want to know: Is their team better now than when the season ended in a disappointing opening round, four-game playoff sweep at the hands of San Jose?

We look at each set of positions to answer that question.
