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.

Yes, the Sharks have now passed up the Ducks in the prospect rankings, and they could be exiting the cellar sooner rather than later.

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.

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.

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.
