Believe it or not, we're not even into training camp and the Ducks organization has been hit with multiple injuries already. Jason Hernandez first talks about the major setback for the recently drafted Beckett Sennecke. How will this affect his development, and where does he go from here? Also, a major injury to the Gulls' budding goaltender, Tomas Suchanek, could indirectly affect the Ducks in a very major way. Finally, in response to the last injury, the Ducks desperately made a depth signing to hopefully keep the Gulls in a playoff chance this upcoming season.

With the devastating news of the deaths of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, the hockey world mourns the lives of two men who still had so much to give. Jason Hernandez talks about the tragedy that took place in New Jersey and the Gaudreau family. We hear from the surviving family members and others across the NHL. We also take a look at the Anaheim connection including a great connection between former Team USA teammates, Johnny Hockey and John Gibson. Finally, we recommend never drinking and driving and to be safe always.

Much like the host of this very podcast, the Anaheim Ducks haven't been too active this Summer and now trying to get ready for the start of the new season. Jason Hernandez is back to talk about the moves the Ducks didn't make, and whether division rivals are now passing up the Ducks in the prospect rankings. Yes, the Sharks have now passed up the Ducks in the prospect rankings, and they could be exiting the cellar sooner rather than later. So, what moves DID happen around the NHL in the past couple weeks, and could the Ducks have possibly pulled something off?GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

The Pacific Division, as a whole, may have gotten much weaker, but that doesn't mean we can't already see who benefitted from the off-season and project how they will fare this coming season. Jason Hernandez looks at two teams that made some roster improvements and could improve in their standings points, both of which reside in the PNW. Also, which three teams suffered some big roster losses this off-season, and will any of those "biggest losers" make the playoffs this season? Finally, it's time to make some way-too-early division predictions for the upcoming season...GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

With the World Juniors Showcase starting in Michigan, we take a look at how the young Ducks are developing right now. Jason Hernandez talks in depth about Carey Terrance, whose stock continues to rise within the Ducks' organization, and how his game has developed over the past year. Also, we look at other young players and their development path, as well as what has changed under the new leadership in the past two full years. Finally, with Terrance getting more attention, how does this affect the Ducks' organizational depth up the middle? Which players might begin competing for roster spots down the line?FanDuelFanDuel, America’s Number One Sportsbook. As playoffs wind down, the sports stop sporting like we want them to.

It's another super-sized episode this week, and this time, Robyn Leaño (Locked On Utah Hockey Club) joins the fray to talk about a plethora of topics. The formerly-named Coyotes and the Ducks had an intense rivalry that was getting more heated with each game. With a new locale and several changes in the organization, does that mean the rivalry is over? Also, both Jason and Robyn check out the rosters for the World Juniors Showcase, and some big names for both Anaheim and Utah make the list.

With Summer upon us, we look back at the good times of the Anaheim Ducks with some lists for fans to debate. Jason Hernandez very carefully first gives his list of the top three GMs in Ducks history. The top choice of Brian Burke might be obvious, and when looking back at his body of work in three short years, we see why. However, the other two choices are where there might be some disagreements. Also, Jason gives his reasons for those GM picks, then gives his picks for the top three draft classes in Ducks history. Anaheim's draft class of 2003 will always go down in history, but what other years made the list? Finally, why are some of the more recent draft classes left off the list, and could these lists change in the near future?GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

It's the second of the super-sized episodes with John Broadbent (Defend the Nest), and there is still so much to talk about! Jason and John first talk about how the new additions will fit in, and why this Gulls team will look to contend for a playoff spot next season. Which shortcomings were addressed this off-season, and who are the potential "black aces" for the Gulls this year? Also, some final development camp thoughts from both John and Jason. Finally, who did the Gulls lose over the summer, and which newcomers replaces those that were lost... and are the Gulls done yet? Oh, and some musicals talk!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check. Stay in the game with eBay Guaranteed Fit at eBayMotors.com.

In the first super-sized mega episode of the week, Jason Hernandez is joined by John Broadbent (Defend the Nest) to talk about the newest additions primarily to the Gulls roster, although there could be one or two players that could possibly move up into the Ducks' roster with a good camp. San Diego looks to add some veterans with leadership qualities (and championship experience). Also, there are plenty of players still on the development side that could be ready to graduate soon and crack the Anaheim roster as soon as next year. Finally, in what areas are the Gulls looking to improve on compared to the last few seasons, and could this be the year the Gulls return to the playoffs for the first time since 2022?eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

With the recent news of Max Comtois leaving North America to play in the KHL in Russia, Jason Hernandez talks about his time with the Anaheim Ducks, and the lofty expectations that were around him in 2021. Also, how are the Ducks' picks from that time period looking now, and how is it affecting the Ducks now? Finally, why is there more optimism now compared to years ago when the Ducks were beginning to enter their rebuild? eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

This time, we take a deeper look at the Anaheim Ducks' overall prospect pool and where they currently stand by position. Jason Hernandez looks into the prospects with Sebastian High (Locked On NHL Prospects) and how deep they are right now. Cutter Gauthier is among the prized prospects in Anaheim, and he's ready to make an impact now along with Leo Carlsson. Meanwhile, the young defensemen are ready to break out and show the NHL what they are capable of. However, there is one position that Jason says needs work, and that is goaltending. How should the Ducks plan ahead and restock the goalie pipeline? Finally, Sebastian gives his projections for three of the brightest prospects... but Jason thinks those numbers could be surpassed.IndeedStill searching for a great candidate for your company?

We are now a couple weeks removed from the 2024 NHL Draft, and now we begin to think about how some of these draft picks could impact the Ducks in the near future and where they fit in. Jason Hernandez shares some initial thoughts on the first pick before Sebastian High (Locked On NHL Prospects) gives some thoughts on the first two picks, and how the Ducks knocked these out of the park, and talked about Beckett Sennecke's ability to create plays and keep pucks in the offensive zone... something the Ducks struggled with. Could Sennecke help the Ducks' woes in getting pucks into the offensive zone? Also, Solberg could be a massive help, but what is his ceiling? Finally, we look at the rest of the picks and Sebastian gives his final grade for the Ducks in the 2024 Draft.IndeedStill searching for a great candidate for your company?

The AHL schedule has just been released, and now we  can start planning what games to keep an eye on, and maybe plan some Canada trips. JD Hernandez goes through the schedule including a first-time meeting with the Toronto Marlies! Also, the Gulls recently made some depth signings that could see some time. Finally, JD explains in detail what the "veteran rule" is in the AHL, and why it's important for this young team.

With some changes of scenery taking place over the Summer, we felt that now would be a good time for a crossover episode. JD Hernandez is joined by Jon Chik (Locked On NY Rangers) to talk about Sam Carrick joining the Broadway Blueshirts. What can the long-time Duck bring to the Rangers, and how does he fit in with that squad? Bo Groulx also joins the Rangers organization in what could be a solid depth move. Also, looking ahead to next season, what does the immediate and long-term future look like for the Ducks? Finally, what does the future of Frank Vatrano look like, what are the chances he returns to New York, and what would a possible mid-season trade look like if the Rangers decide to pursue Frank?eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Ducks finally made an important announcement regarding the rest of their coaching staff, and this could be fantastic hires by the organization. JD Hernandez talks about the new role for Sudarshan Maharaj after beating pancreatic cancer. Also, the Ducks hired a new assistant coach who was around during the starting years of the Mighty Ducks, Tim Army. Also, the Ducks make an important hire with former NHL'er, Peter Budaj, becoming the Ducks' newest goaltending coach. Budaj is reunited with Greg Cronin after they shared some time with the AHL's Colorado Eagles. This hire could be very vital for one goalie in particular. Finally, the annual Rookie Faceoff is coming to El Segundo with several West coast teams showcasing their young, budding stars.eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Ducks didn't land any big names in free agency this off-season, but at least they got to save some money which could help them the following season. With CapFriendly soon shutting down, JD Hernandez played around with the cap settings for 2025-26, and how much space they would still have after re-signing a few key soon-to-be free agents, if they don't get traded before the trade deadline. How could the roster look next season, and how much could the Ducks spend bringing back a couple emerging stars? Also, we look at the free agent list for the 2025 off-season, and there are some BIG names on that list.FanDuelFanDuel, America’s Number One Sportsbook.

The Ducks missing out on the big names hurts in the short term, but there were definitely some players that got overpaid in this year's free agent frenzy. JD Hernandez explores some of the big signings across the NHL, and why it was a good thing that the Ducks didn't bite on any of those oversized deals. Also, which teams did get better this off-season with some of their moves, and which signings could age well? While some teams paid way too much, there were still some free agents after day one that could have gone to Anaheim at a reasonable price. Finally, should we already look ahead to next year's free agents as better targets for the Ducks down the line? FanDuelFanDuel, America’s Number One Sportsbook.

Once again, the Anaheim Ducks come up mostly empty-handed in the free agent frenzy leaving the patience of Ducks fans growing thinner with each rebuilding season. JD Hernandez talks about the big swings GM Pat Verbeek took on day one of free agency... only to leave without signing any big names to the Ducks. Did the Ducks dodge a bullet by not overpaying right now? Also, we welcome back a couple more Ducks to the roster, and talk about the players the Ducks DID sign in free agency.

The Anaheim Ducks' development came to an end on Friday in Irvine, and the young rookies and draft picks showcased their skills in an open scrimmage where some young stars impressed. JD Hernandez was at Great Park Ice to check out camp on Friday and observed which players really shined on the ice. Cutter Gauthier was impressive, but where does he fit in with the team, and where might Greg Cronin deploy him through the season? Which other young Ducklings looked impressive? Finally, the two first round draft picks from the 2024 NHL Draft signed their entry level contracts, could they make a difference right away?eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

With the NHL schedule already out, we can begin to mark down the important games of the season, and the opponents to keep an eye on. JD Hernandez noticed that while most teams put out some kind of fancy schedule release video, the Ducks didn't put out a video this year (it's a shame... they've had some excellent videos in recent years). JD decides to have a little bit of fun and record an unofficial schedule release video with how some other fanbases might react. The season begins in San Jose and Vegas before coming home against Phoenix... no... Arizona... er... Utah! Also, when do the Ducks face the Flyers in Philadelphia and we hear the chorus of profanity-laced yells towards Cutter Gauthier?GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.
