Koivu moved to Anaheim to team up with Teemu Selanne, who says he is retired.Hiller had been the Ducks' starting goalie since the 2008-09 season, going 162-110-32 over seven years. The Swiss netminder lost his starting job late in the regular season to Frederik Andersen and John Gibson.Winnik spent the past two years with the Ducks, scoring 49 points as a depth forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyS Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Which probably means that the Ducks will be trading for Spezza or Kesler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
