Strome, who is expected back next season, emphasizes making progress in final stretch of games.
| UPDATED:ANAHEIM – It’s going to be a completely different spring for both Frank Vatrano and Ryan Strome, two of the Ducks’ biggest acquisitions in the last offseason.
Strome and Vatrano will be part of the future going forward, which differs from the other significant additions made last summer by Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek in signing defenseman John Klingberg and trading for defenseman Dmitry Kulikov. They were always going to be short-term solutions and were shipped off at the trade deadline.
The Ducks have been playing better hockey the past 10 games than the three other teams already eliminated. But the challenge will be to avoid turning in the often lackluster effort displayed on Sunday during the final 12 games. What happens during the final three and a half weeks of the season can help shape the upcoming season.
