Anaheim Ducks
Cap Space: $17, 594,170
Restricted Free Agents
NHL – Chris Wagner, Emerson Etem, Jakob Silfverberg
AHL – Max Friberg, Ryan Faragher, John Kurtz, Michael Sgarbossa, Antoine Laganiere, Igor Bobkov, Louis Leblanc
Unrestricted Free Agents
NHL – Tomas Fleischmann, Matt Beleskey, Sheldon Souray, Francois Beauchemin, Korbinian Holzer
AHL – Jason Labarbera, Colby Robak
The biggest question is whether or not the Ducks will be able to bring back Beleskey. If he does leave, he will be missed. However, Nick Ritchie should be ready to jump into the lineup, possibly replacing him.
Also, is this Beauchemin’s swan song with the Ducks? The Ducks defense is a bunch of young players with him being the oldest of the group.
