Anaheim Ducks did not have they year they where expecting. They where chasing the San Jose Sharks since the beginning of the season. This was their worst season since the lockout ended. They only had 91 points and finished 8th in the western conference. They aren't getting any younger that is part of the Ducks problem for next season. They did have Bobby Ryan who got nominated for rookie of the year.
Their defense is getting old they have some young guys, but their studs like Pronger and Niedermayer are in their mid 30's. Niedermayer might no even be with the team next year. He has been their captain for since 2005 with Pronger taking it for a little in 07 while he was out for most the season.
The Ducks look a great for the future and for next year. They Ducks forwards are young and talented. Getzlaf is one of the assistant captains and is real young. They have the rookie of year nominee Bobby Ryan. Those are just some of the stars in their potent offense.
Another good question is who is going to be the starting goaltender in the net next season. Will it be Jonas Hiller or Jean-Sebastien Giguere. Jonas Hiller lead the Ducks in their playoff march that was cut short by the Detroit Red Wings. It will be interesting to see what the Ducks do in the off season. The Ducks have 6 players who where part of the team this year that are going to be unrestricted free agents next season.
