2024 NHL Free Agency Tracker
NHL free agency starts today. Not only does this look like a strong year for unrestricted free agents, but there are some big-name restricted free agents as well. Because the action moves so quickly, it may be hard to keep track of everything. But don’t worry, we have you covered at The Hockey Writers.

Anaheim Ducks Draft Lucas Pettersson 35th Overall
June 29, 2024 by Matthew Zator
Lucas Pettersson is a center prospect who skates quickly, works hard, and has shown a good scoring touch in Sweden’s top junior league this year. Pettersson was a leader for Sweden at last Summer’s Hlinka Gretzky Cup, scoring four points in as many games, and was a major factor for their U18 World Championship team in May.Â

The Anaheim Ducks are no stranger to surprises at the NHL Draft.

Anaheim Ducks Draft Stian Solberg 23rd Overall
June 28, 2024 by Eugene Helfrick
On draft night, not every pick can be that exciting 100-plus point player. However, that doesn’t mean that a safe pick can’t only be the right pick, but still be an absolute homerun for the selecting team. When looking at Stain Solberg from Norway, you see a defenseman who can do everything, even if that everything isn’t at the highest possible level (just yet).
