Renowned insider Elliotte Friedman from Sportsnet has just revealed that a big move was attempted with the Anaheim Ducks by general manager Pat Verbeek.
It seems the Ducks were not messing around this summer, both on the trade market and in the free agent market.
«Friedman on 32TP: «Another interesting thing about the Ducks this year is that I think they made serious efforts in the free agent market. I think they pushed hard for Stamkos, and I believe they really went after Jonathan Marchessault. It seems like they want to ramp up again.»

Just like Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens, it's clear that Verbeek and the Anaheim Ducks want to turn the corner in their rebuild.
