Just having everyone healthy and some of the young guys improving should be a good ''add''. Outside of Getzlaf there shouldn't be anyone declining.So it seems like next seaon Ducks will be playing in the same division with Arizona Coyotes, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild, San Jose Sharks and Vegas Golden Knights. All the regular season games will be played between those teams. It will probably be the weakest division. LA and Ducks are rebuilding, Arizona is a mediocre mess, Minnesota is meh, San Jose could rebound but we'll see. Colorado, Dallas and Vegas are clearly the best out of the bunch. I'll assume that there won't be a play-in rounds so 4 best teams go into playoffs, which means that those five inferior team will be fighting for that one spot. I don't see how Ducks could be that team as they haven't improved (yet) in the offseason remarkably. It would require a lot of improvement from prospects and young players.
I think we should definitely be among those who fight for that one spot.
