Derek Lee talks about the Fowler trade on the Anaheim Ducks site.
-Just before we get started, I wanted to make a quick statement that today was a difficult day. It was a difficult trade to make, especially with a person of Cam’s stature and his tenure with our organization. I think it's rare—and it's becoming increasingly rare—that a player spends this long with an organization.
Patrick Present discusses the Jacob Trouba tread on the Anaheim Ducks site.
-“When a player this caliber becomes available, I wanted to help our team, and I think he improves our team. He gives us a lot of depth on defense now. He’s a really good penalty killer. I think he’s got some underrated offensive skills that probably hasn’t shown in the last year or so. Overall, it gives our team a lot more rigid, physical play.
Patrick Present discusses the Ducks offensive struggles on the Anaheim Ducks site.
-The Ducks compete hard; they play more connected than they have in several years, with a deeper understanding of their systems and of what's expected. They are more responsible with the puck, aren't exposed as often, and have eliminated a significant amount of the open seams in their defensive zone against the cycle.
