The Anaheim Ducks have started their annual prospect camp. It’s a good time to roll out our Top 10 prospects list. We start today by counting down numbers 10-6.
The 2018 Entry Draft is now almost a week behind us and there is a new crop of prospects joining the Ducks. With prospect camp starting, I wanted to dive in and look at some prospects who could make some noise in camp, as well as for the Ducks this season. So I’m ranking the Anaheim Ducks top 10 prospects.
**All of my selections had to have played less than 30 NHL games to this point**
Honorable Mention
Andy Welinski, Defenseman – Welinski is the current incumbent for the Ducks sixth defenseman spot. He posses strong puck skills but will be in a dogfight this summer to remain on the roster.
Kevin Roy, Right Wing – If Roy were two inches taller, he wouldn’t be on the list. He’d probably be flourishing with the Ducks in a featured role. Unfortunately, he is only 5’9″ tall. That means the lightning-fast forward has to fight for everything he gets. Roy’s talent is closer to Martin St. Louis than Nathan Gerbe.
Jacob Larsson, Defenseman – The Ducks 2016 first-round pick is still adjusting to the North American game. He is expected to either make the team out of training camp or be one of the first call-ups. At the very least, he’ll be a mainstay on the San Diego Gulls blueline this year.
