Odds appear to be better for Eaves than Kesler …
Elliotte Teaford of the OC Register: Ducks GM Bob Murray said yesterday that they are expecting forward Patrick Eaves to play next season.
Eaves only appeared to two games last season after he was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Things may not be looking as good for forward Ryan Kesler.
“I’m more confident that Patrick Eaves is going to play for the full season than I am of Ryan Kesler at the moment, although ‘Kes’ says he’s going to be fine,” Murray said during an event with Ducks season-ticket holders at Bolsa Chica State Beach.
Kesler appeared in only 44 games last year after he had hip surgery last offseason.
