Anaheim Ducks
Built around a top-three-pick young core in Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier, anchored by breakout Jackson LaCombe and a workhorse goalie in Lukas Dostal. Joel Quenneville's hire flipped the system from dump-and-chase chaos to short-pass possession, and the early underlying numbers backed it. The Ducks rank top-3 leaguewide in 5v5 shot attempts, high-danger chances, and xGF/60. Veteran scoring from Kreider and Granlund finally gave the kids real top-six insulation, and rookie Beckett Sennecke, second in NHL rookie scoring behind Demidov, accelerated the timeline by a year. First playoff berth since 2017-18 validates the rebuild.
