    >The Ducks have promoted Rick Paterson to General Manager of the San Diego Gulls, Anaheim’s primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL), and Mike Stapleton to Assistant General Manager of the Ducks. In addition, Assistant General Manager Rob DiMaio has left the club due to personal reasons. The contracts for Assistant Coaches Newell Brown and Craig Johnson will not be renewed.

    Yep that seemed inevitable (the coaches thing, don’t follow the SD front office enough to have any idea about them).

    This was the real sign that next year will be the start of serious effort and accountability. We’ve got all the parts, now its time to see if Cronin can put them together and lead onwards.

  4. So happy. Was my Number one wish for this offseason. My mom could coach a better PP and PK

  5. Good. I get that we weren’t supposed to be a playoff team this year, but we needed to improve, and frankly, we didn’t. We added a ton of talent with guys like Gudas and Killorn, and even the raw talent in Mintyukov, Carlsson, and Zellweger, but none of it translated on the ice.

    I’m glad that the organization is holding someone accountable, and sending a message that the time to improve is now.
