Ducks GM Pat Verbeek has been putting his stamp on the organization since taking over in February, through trades and an active summer of free-agent signings.
One of the final, fitting frames of the Ducks’ tumultuous regular season included playing the third period against the Dallas Stars with an emergency backup goalie.
It’s been almost five months between the finale in Dallas and opening of training camp Thursday at Great Park Ice in Irvine. The Ducks’ 64-man training camp roster includes seven first-round draft picks and a handful of free-agent invitees, including forward Rocco Grimaldi, who was born in Anaheim and played in 203 NHL games, mostly recently with the Nashville Predators.
The Ducks also announced center Sam Carrick had hip surgery in May – to repair a torn labrum – noting that the timeline for recovery is about six months. Additionally, much-traveled defenseman John Moore, acquired from the Bruins in the Hampus Lindholm deal, remains out with an injury. Pat Verbeek will begin his first full season as Ducks’ general manager and Coach Dallas Eakins is starting his fourth season in Anaheim. The Ducks have been a fixture in the lottery – last making the playoffs in 2017-18 – and Verbeek, accordingly, has been busily reshuffling the deck since assuming the position in February.This was Verbeek’s signature move of the summer, signing the top free agent available on the market to a one-year, $7-million contract.
