Ducks and Kase Agree to Terms



The Anaheim Ducks have re-signed restricted free agent forward Ondrej Kase on Wednesday, giving him a 3-year deal, reportedly carrying a salary cap hit of $2.6 million in each season.

The 22-year old finished his second complete season with the Ducks in 2018, playing in 66 games, scoring 20 goals and 38 points, well within the hockey pool conversation.

The small-ish winger has found a good home with the Ducks, after being drafted late in 2014.  He has had some injury problems in the past and some up and down streaks, but he appears to be a regular roster player now, so you can certainly have him in your lists.

Looking forward, the young forward is certainly trending in the right direction and I could see him having a good third season in Anaheim, so I am boosting his projections up to the 45-point range, likely where I would be wanting to take him.
