Most of you in Ducks Fanbase from Message Board,Facebook and Twitter know well about Situation with Ryan Kesler...Eliotte Friedman Stated on Sportsnet in 31 Thoughs the Status of Kesler..
"We probably won’t know the truth until training camp, but there is a chance Ryan Kesler
does not play in 2018–19. Anaheim’s centre gutted through 48
regular-season and playoff games, his discomfort and pain obvious to
teammates and opponents alike. From what I understand, he will not be
having surgery (that’s been done). Instead, he’s undergoing some
aggressive rehab and treatment in an effort to improve the hip area. The
team and agent are not commenting, but word is he is not interested in
retiring, wants to play and is doing everything he can to get there. But
it might be a situation where he sits out and tries to come back in
September 2019."
It's this paragraph that made several Ducks Fans among the Fanbase on whether Kesler will Sit Out for Ducks 25th Anniversay or will he play...It also sparks criticsm on RC,Medical and Ducks GM Bob Murray on why they Rush Kesler out and gave some within Ducks Fans understanding on why Kesler was underperforming. Many understand why Kesler was not himself when he return after months with major injury which made him miss half of 17-18 Campaign. As Much as many have from Blame Coach,GM and Kesler himself we won't know till Ducks Gathering aka Training Camp in Early Sept.
We won't know till we know of his status at this point anything is up for speculation. My Personal View is...Ryan Kesler will be at the Ducks Training Camp.IF he does not then it will be a Blow to the Ducks and the Ducks Cause...for now We must wait till Ducks Training Camp as the old saying Goes...We must wait and See.

Ducks Draft Candidates:NHL Draft 2018
It's that Time of year again....with NHL Final Four still going on...4 teams battling each other to play for the Stanley Cup. For many of us we look towards Event that we though we never would talk about or look too since Ducks First Round Loss weeks ago. 2018 NHL Draft in Dallas Texas we will see next Generation of Ducks coming towards the Stage to wear the Ducks D with Honor,Pride and Joy. Ducks picking 23rd in First Round has lead many to speculate in Mock Drafts in Message Boards Worldwide on who the Ducks will Select. Be it Canadian,American,Czech,Swede or Finn, All Ducks Fans are left to wonder...Will the Ducks keep the Pick?.Trade it for impact player and prospect?. Only thing we can do is wonder,Speculate and hope Ducks GM Bob Murray will make right decison based on the fallout of the 4-0 Sweep Ducks Suffer last month.
Some I have read feel Ducks will go with BPA(Best Player Avaiable)...Yet I beleive they will be targeting a Player to strengthen depth of certain areas that need to be shore up. Boosting moral of the Ducks and Ducks Fans require a Trade and draft player in top ten be it any position. My view is Ducks need another Defencemen due in part of the Injuries they endure. I also feel it's time they swing a trade to get extra First Pick. We know as we do for the Ducks Bounce back and jumpstart the team they need not only Youth and Experince.....but Speed that can lit the spark in this team for complancy is like common Cold....Folllowing imho IF the Ducks Decide to stand pat are 5 players who will likely be selected by the Ducks this year.
1.Jared McIsaac
2.Rasmus Kupari
3.Jett Woo
4.Kody Clark.
5.Alexis Gravel.
These are the Players I feel can fit into our Ducks but Keep in mind though...NHL Draft is weeks away and who knows who our Ducks have in mind one thing is certain I hope they choose BPA to address some Needs.

Ducks Need for Speed:Trade is Needed!
Many of you know well and understand for the Ducks to adapt in everchanging game in NHL where Speed is factor,advantage in battles our Ducks face this Season. Many in Ducks Fanbase see the disadvantage and need for shake-up ala Trade is important to get light the spark and get us BACK into the Fight in reclaiming the Stanley Cup. However we may disagree on what is best course of action we all can agree that Ducks need injection of Speed to Revitalize,Reinvigroate and Reset the team after First Round Loss resulting in 3rd 4-0 Sweep in our team’s History.
Need has been for the Ducks to do what is right. Some look at Free agency often too much. But we cannot ignore or pretend Ducks do not make trades that are Major. In our Team’s Past Trades that were major or have help our team in a Big Way...Selanne Trade in 1996 and Pronger Trade in 2006. Both jumpstarted the Ducks in a Big way.....Recongition and gaining New Fans not to much prestige it gave to the Ducks and the Duck Cause.
Trade like Free Agent Signing maybe Needed in order to set things right and cure what Ailing the team. However Free Agency we cannot get our hopes considering Ducks stand pat and sign Players to a low cost deal...Trust me and you know it’s in their M.O. For the Summer will hold many Questions and Truths....IF the Duck Do trade Do not be Surprise IF they are the ones active...Cause this upcoming season which will be Symbolic marking 25 years will be VERY IMPORTANT!.

Francois Beauchemin:Thank You from this Diehard Ducks Fan in Nova Scotia.
Watching latest Clip of DucksTV I watch with joy when Fellow Ducks Fans paint their Happiness,Joy and Pride in the Ducks and Team itself on the Ice of the Ponda. What made me smile was "Thank You" Messages to Frankie...some in French others expressing their Gratitude to the man many known as "Boom-Boom". It makes remeber well all the years he has contributed to the Ducks since he came to the team 12 years ago.
Nov 15th 2005 just one day short of my Birthday I remeber hearing the news Ducks made a Trade sending Sergei Federov to Columbus for Tyler Wright and a then-25 year Minor Leaguer in Francois Beauchemin....2 things came into my mind back then 1.What does he bring to the team and 2.Who is this Guy?. Doing some research I realize he play for 2 teams in QMJHL. Acadie-Bathurst Titan/Laval Titan and Moncton WildCats from 1996-97 to 1999-2000. He would spend a few years in AHL and ECHL before being used sparely by Montreal and then Columbus. Much as I hear comments on whether Ducks won the deal or not back then I chimed in few times with "Wait and See" approach to others during that season.
as the years past Frankie contributed in a Big way from the Knockout Punch on May 1st 2006 vs Jarome Iginla....his Fight prove he had Fighting Spirit that ignited Ducks Warrior within and Dedication to persevere....Let's not forget thos Bone-Quacking Hits which There is so many I lost count over the years. Few stood out for me one being the Hit on Mike Fisher to Zach Parise and Veron Fiddler.
All in All as I look back and reflect on Frankie's Contribution which lead to him Raising the Stanley Cup and making history on June 6th 2007. I say to him as I raise my Glass...Thank You......Thank You Thank You. Thank You for contributing to the Ducks Winning their First Stanley Cup and becoming First California Based Hockey team to Win Hockey's Holy Grail. Thank You for the Time Hits,Defensive Plays and of course the Autograph all those years ago my my Ducks Uniform in March 2007
Forever Francois will always be a Duck and his Contributions like those of Ducks Legends,Icons and Alum Teemu Selanne,Guy Hebert,Paul Kariya,Steve Rucchin,Joe Sacco,Bobby Dollas will be Remeber and talk,Read and wrote about forever!.
