The Anaheim Ducks offseason often holds a lot of unknowns, but it doesn’t hurt to make a few bold predictions.

As the calendar pages flip to June, things are about to heat up around the NHL. Once the St. Louis Blues or the Boston Bruins win the Stanely Cup, the craziness of the offseason begins. The “official” offseason brings about new and exciting changes including, but not limited to, the NHL Draft, Free Agency, and, for the Anaheim Ducks, a new coach.

However, right now, the Anaheim Ducks are a big mystery, especially to their fan base. The only thing that seems to be 100% guaranteed at the moment is an excellent draft. Bob Murray and his scouting staff have an excellent track record of drafting in the late 20s of the first round, and with a 9th overall pick as well as the 29th overall pick (the San Jose Sharks first round draft pick acquired in the Brandon Montour trade with the Buffalo Sabres), they are sure to strike gold and fill the major holes in their prospect pool.

Many questions have arisen and it’s only a matter of time before we are given answers, and it may not be the answers we necessarily expected. Who is the next head coach? Which free agents are the Anaheim Ducks going to re-sign? Will any major trades be made? How Bob Murray is going to handle the re-tool, only time will tell. In the meantime, we’re taking a gamble and making 5 bold predictions about the Anaheim Ducks 2019 offseason.
