Could the Ducks lure Mitch Marner and John Tavares to Anaheim? Corey Perry?
Jeff Marek of Daily Faceoff: The Anaheim Ducks have already acquired Chris Kreider and it may not be a surprise if GM Pat Verbeek went after Mitch Marner and John Tavares on July 1st if both players test free agency.
Marner would help their power play and penalty kill. Would Marner be more interested in signing with a Stanley Cup contender than a Playoff contender?
There will be several teams interested in Tavares if he doesn’t re-sign with the Maple Leafs before July 1st. It sounds like the Ducks will be one of the interested teams. Brock Nelson‘s three-year, $7.5 million per extension with the Colorado Avalanche will be a Tavares open market comp. The Utah Mammoth could use someone like Tavares.
Would Corey Perry want to finish his career in Anaheim?
