Ducks’ early season struggles no surprise after disaster offseason dailyfaceoff.com

Daily Faceoff’s Scott Maxwell, Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton argue Anaheim’s 5-7-1 start was foreseeable after an offseason that stripped depth, including the losses of Jacob Trouba, Radko Gudas, Mason McTavish and Chris Kreider. They point to weak defensive and expected-goals numbers, a projected $1.4 million cap overage in 2026-27, and rising pressure on the club as Beckett Sennecke leads it with eight goals in 13 games.
