The Ducks announced they have extended qualifying offers to pending RFAs Mason McTavish, Drew Helleson, and Lukas Dostal from the NHL roster and Judd Caulfield, Sam Colangelo, Jan Mysak, Tim Washe, and Calle Clang from the AHL roster. Center Isac Lundestrom (25), Brett Leason (26), and Josh Lopina did not receive qualifying offers and will become unrestricted free agents on Tuesday. Isac Lundestrom was an Anaheim first-round pick (23rd overall in 2018) seven years ago and played 337 games for the Ducks, totaling 84 points (35-49=84). The Ducks claimed Brett Leason off waivers in Oct 2022 from the Washington Capitals (56th in ’19). He played 184 games for the Ducks in his three seasons in Anaheim, scoring 48 points (22-26=48). Josh Lopina was a Ducks draft pick (98th in ’21) who was never able to crack the NHL roster at any point in his tenure with the organization. He played three-plus seasons with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL and scored 44 points (20-24=44) in 203 games. The Ducks now have 21 players on their NHL roster, including Helleson, Dostal, and McTavish, who just received QOs.
