"Anaheim Ducks Rebuild Defense Amidst Key Departures. The Anaheim Ducks are looking to bounce back from a disappointing season, but their chances of success may be severely hampered by the significant changes on the blue line. In a shocking offseason move, the team traded away Radko Gudas, John Carlson, and Olen Zellweger, dealing a major blow to their defensive corps. Adding insult to injury, Jacob Trouba has also departed in free agency, leaving the Ducks with a daunting task of rebuilding their defense and finding a way to stop opposing teams from scoring. With the offense seemingly in good shape, the Ducks' fate this season now hangs precariously in the balance."

While the offense appears to be in good shape, the defense will look a lot different this season. Anaheim traded Radko Gudas, John Carlson and Olen Zellweger, and Jacob Trouba departed in free agency.
