The Anaheim Ducks are poised for a resurgence, marking a transition from a lengthy playoff drought to a competitive outlook. The front office, led by General Manager Pat Verbeek, has made significant additions, including the hiring of renowned coach Joel Quenneville and the trade for veteran winger Chris Kreider.

Quenneville, the NHL's second-winningest coach, is set to instill a winning culture as he returns after a three-year hiatus. The Ducks' young core, featuring talents like Trevor Zegras, Mason McTavish, and Leo Carlsson, combined with Kreider’s leadership, aims to elevate the team's performance in the upcoming season.
