JULY 2 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Brian Dumoulin - Swapped for fourth-round pick Dumoulin was traded to the Ducks from the Kraken on Tuesday in a swap for a 2026 fourth-round selection.
Impact Dumoulin apparently has found himself as the odd man out after the Kraken signed Brandon Montour to a seven-year deal Monday. After spending his first 10 seasons with the Penguins, the veteran blueliner will now be on this third team in as many seasons after spending just one year in Seattle. While Dumoulin has reached the 20-point threshold twice in his career, that is certainly not the norm for the blueliner, who is more likely to offer between 15-20 points per season.

Brett Leason - Back with Ducks Leason signed a one-year deal with Anaheim on Monday.
Impact Leason pocketed 11 goals and 22 points through 68 games with the Ducks last season. The 25-year-old winger should see bottom-six minutes again during the 2024-25 campaign.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Urho Vaakanainen - Staying with Ducks Vaakanainen signed a one-year deal with Anaheim on Monday.
Impact Vaakanainen scored 14 points in 68 games with the Ducks last season and did not receive a qualifying offer before hitting free agency. The 25-year-old should fill a bottom-four role during the 2024-25 campaign.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Mahura - Hits free agency Mahura is an unrestricted free agent after Florida didn't present him with a qualifying offer ahead of Sunday's deadline, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Mahura contributed nine assists, 25 shots on goal, 27 blocked shots and 40 hits in 30 regular-season appearances with Florida in 2023-24. He could be a solid depth blueliner for teams in free agency.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Brett Leason - Not qualified by Ducks Leason will become an unrestricted free agent after not receiving a qualifying offer from Anaheim, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
Impact Leason tallied 11 goals and 22 points in 68 games last season. The 25-year-old could provide a bit of scoring touch to a team's bottom-six this offseason.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Gustav Lindstrom - Hitting free agency Lindstrom was not qualified by the Ducks and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
Impact Lindstrom totaled 10 points in 46 games with Anaheim and Detroit last season. He was often a healthy scratch and didn't see consistent playing time. The 25-year-old blueliner has 35 points in 174 career NHL contests.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Urho Vaakanainen - Does not receive QO Vaakanainen will become an unrestricted free agent Monday after not receiving a qualifying offer from the Ducks, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
Impact Vaakanainen scored 14 points in 68 games last season and did not receive consistent playing time down the stretch. He was a first-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft but has been held to 24 points in 136 career NHL contest.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Bo Groulx - Not qualified by Ducks The Ducks did not qualify Groulx and he will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
Impact Groulx was limited to just two points in 45 games last season. The 24-year-old will likely be looking for an AHL or two-way deal this offseason.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Max Jones - Heading to free agency Jones did not receive a qualifying offer from Anaheim and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jones dealt with multiple injuries last season and was limited to 15 points in 52 games. The 26-year-old was a first-round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft but has totaled only 62 points in 258 career NHL contests.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Isac Lundestrom - Lands one-year deal Lundestrom signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Ducks on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Lundestrom didn't make his season debut until January and was limited to 46 games. He tallied 11 points while averaging 14:20 of ice time. The 24-year-old should maintain a bottom-six role next season.
JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE
Tarin Smith - Latest defender to Orange County Smith was the 79th overall pick by the Ducks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Impact The No. 20 overall pick by Everett in the 2021 WHL Bantam Draft, Smith was a key cog for the Silvertips during his first CHL campaign. He posted 44 points in 67 games and finished the season with a plus-26 rating. Smith is a strong offensive player and an asset with the man advantage, but his skating is questionable, and his decision-making with the puck isn't the greatest. Still, with some size (6-foot-1) and legitimate skill to his game, Smith makes for a solid depth addition to a deep Anaheim prospect pool.
JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE
Ethan Procyszyn - Surprise Round 3 selection Procyszyn was the 68th overall pick by the Ducks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Impact Procyszyn's offensive numbers this past season (15 goals, 36 points in 62 games) were underwhelming, but it's important to note he played on a loaded North Bay team. He's a big body (6-foot-2, 190 pounds), really competes, and has displayed an ability to contribute on both special teams, making him an intriguing long-term prospect, even if this seems a bit early in the draft for Procyszyn to have gone.
JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE
Maxim Masse - First pick of Round 3 Masse was the 66th overall pick by the Ducks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Impact The No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 QMJHL Entry Draft, Masse made an immediate impact for Chicoutimi two seasons ago, leading all newcomers in both goals (29) and points (62 in 65 games) while being named QMJHL Rookie of the Year. He took a step forward from a production standpoint in 2023-24 (36 goals, 75 points in 67 games), but not a massive one. Masse's work ethic is exceptional. He's constantly battling along the boards and in front of the net and typically emerges with the puck. His foot speed remains a work in progress, but there's an intriguing mix of size (6-foot-2), skill, and compete level here. Masse is an exceptional depth addition to the Anaheim system.
JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE
Lucas Pettersson - Round 2 pick of Anaheim Pettersson was the 35th overall pick by the Ducks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Impact Pettersson is a two-way center who plays an advanced game for his age, as evidenced by his five appearances for MoDo of the SHL this past season as a 17-year-old. He spent most of the year playing for their club in the Swedish Jr. league and dominated to the tune of 27 goals and 57 points in 44 games. A jack-of-all-trades and master of none, Pettersson has an outside chance of developing into a top-six center for the Ducks but can be more comfortably projected as an excellent future third-line pivot. He was a solid selection at this stage of Round 2.

Stian Solberg - Punishing defender quacks in 23rd Solberg was the 23rd overall pick by the Ducks at the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.
Impact Solberg is a punishing defender who's emerged as the top defender after the big six D in this year's draft. He's mean and strong, and sometimes takes it too far in one-on-one coverage. But he'll mature into a more controlled game as he develops, and his already strong closing skills are going to take a lot of forwards by surprise. Solberg has a decent shot, but his offensive upside is limited. He's exactly the kind of mobile rock that every NHL team covets. The Ducks see him as a left-side Radko Gudas, which means he'll be a favorite in Anaheim when he eventually arrives, but his fantasy upside is limited.
JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE
Beckett Sennecke - Big leap to third at draft Sennecke was the third overall pick by the Ducks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.
Impact While some kids hit their growth spurt before high school, others, like Sennecke, grow almost five inches after they're eligible to get a driver's license. The winger now stands almost 6-foot-3 and finally found his game in the postseason. Sennecke exploded for 22 points in 16 playoff games for Oshawa (OHL), and his stock is trending way up. So much so that he catapulted from a likely 12-15 draft spot to No. 3.. Sennecke has game-breaking skill with the puck and a great shot and there are some who think he might end up at center. That's a tough transition, but the Ducks might try it given his size. His game needs to mature, but count on Sennecke to become a playmaking, second-line power winger once he grows into his new height.
