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?

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?

We barely got through the first three picks in the previous episode, so now it's time to talk about the final six picks the Anaheim Ducks wound up making in the 2024 NHL Draft. JD Hernandez talks about the two early 3rd round picks that could make some noise. Also, could Tarin Smith wind up being a steal at #79? There are many reasons to believe he could become an impact player. Alexandre Blais was also a solid pick at #100... but that might just wind up being a solid depth piece. Finally, could the final two picks have any chance at cracking the Gulls lineup down the line?

The 2024 NHL Draft in the Sphere was a spectacle, and it didn't take long for the Ducks to make a bold pick. JD Hernandez returns home to break down the first three Anaheim Ducks' picks in this year's draft. Taking Beckett Sennecke at #3 was somewhat unexpected, but with his stock steadily rising, GM Pat Verbeek saw something in the young right winger. We also hear from Sennecke as he talks about who helped him get to this point. Also, the Ducks traded up to the #23 pick to select the bruising right-handed defenseman, Stian Solberg. JD talks about his hard-hitting play, and also how he has already endeared himself to many Ducks fans by dropping some F-bombs at the flock party. Finally, we look at Lucas Pettersson and where he could possibly fit in with the organization down the line.

Live from the site of the 2024 NHL Draft in Las Vegas, we have coverage all weekend long as the Ducks continue their rebuild and look to make some big moves. JD Hernandez talks about the shocking pick at #3 which sent the Sphere into a stunned silence, and prompted Beckett Sennecke to mouth a "WTF" reaction. Is this a good pick for the Ducks, and where does he possibly fit into the Ducks' long-term plans? Also, the Ducks orchestrated a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs to secure the 23rd pick, and land big-bodied defenseman, Stian Solberg. What can he bring to this Ducks lineup? Finally, JD gets some fan reactions to both picks and overall thoughts on day 1 of the NHL Draft.

There is big reason for hope in Ducks land as the Anaheim Ducks hired a new assistant coach, and this could work out well for a team as young as the Ducks. JD Hernandez talks about the hiring of Rich Clune and what he brings to the table from the coaching perspective. Even though his credentials aren't as lengthy as other coaching candidates, he proved effective last season with the Toronto Marlies behind the bench; hopefully, he can bring some improvements to a power play that desperately needs help. Also, some fresh jerseys are headed to Anaheim! We say goodbye to the webbed primary logo, and a return to the old-school hockey mask logo with an Orange County twist. Finally, some final thoughts on the upcoming draft, and some thoughts on the Calder Cup Finals.
