The breakthrough season that the Anaheim Ducks hoped for is now in the rear-view mirror. They’re now at a different phase. Making the playoffs now should be the expectation. The minimum.But as they attempt to build on a thrilling return to the postseason, the Ducks are already faced with roster turnover that will impact the start of their 2026-27 season. Whether through intent or reaction, Anaheim general manager Pat Verbeek will be giving Joel Quenneville some different faces to work with for the coach’s second season.The extent of the new faces remains unknown, but as we’re in draft week and with free agency approaching, it is worth looking at who will be on the Ducks when it’s time for training camp and who could be heading out the door.The untouchablesLeo CarlssonWith 23 points in 26 games after recovering from thigh surgery, Carlsson responded well and then was a force in his first playoff series. Things were tougher for him against Vegas, but the 21-year-old is their franchise center, and he figures to land a second contract that could make him Anaheim’s highest paid player in franchise history.Cutter GauthierSpeaking of huge second contracts, Gauthier could have one coming his way as a fellow critical core player who is also set to be a restricted free agent. With 41 goals, Gauthier finished tied for 11th in the league with Detroit’s Alex DeBrincat. The 22-year-old is clearly their best goal scorer and could be for years to come. I’d say he’s off-limits at this stage.Beckett SenneckeThe third-place finisher in the Calder Trophy voting has the total package — size, skill and scoring touch — and has showed that he isn’t shy about battling in the tough areas. And with Troy Terry out for possibly the first two months of next season, Sennecke could be greatly leaned on to produce. The 20-year-old has a ton of upside still to tap into on his rookie contract.Not going anywhereLukáš DostálLast season was not Dostál’s best – and that should be a motivator for the goalie who turned 26 on Monday. He was a 30-game winner for the first time, but his save percentage dropped from .903 in 2024-25 to .888. Other metrics to measure goalie performance also took a dip and he struggled in the playoffs. But he’s the Ducks’ guy and is signed long-term.Mikael GranlundInjuries limited Granlund to 58 games in the regular season, but he gave the Ducks exactly what they were looking for as a versatile forward who provided secondary scoring. The 34-year-old being their second-line center for much of the year was a surprising development. He’ll be entering the second year of his three-year contract.Alex KillornKillorn, 36, is moving into the final year of his contract. He has played all 82 games each of the past two years with Anaheim and in four out of the last five seasons overall. While the veteran winger has been a sound defensive forward with the Ducks, his offense has declined with each season. But he figures to remain a valued presence on and off the ice in 2026-27.Chris KreiderAfter a career spent with the New York Rangers, a re-energized Kreider started strongly with three multi-goal games and eight scores in his first nine contests. He didn’t finish well, with a 15-game goal drought and one goal in his final 18 games. He’ll be entering a contract year but keeping a top-six role will require him to be more consistent and not fall off.Jackson LaCombeWith his big-money, eight-year extension set to kick in, LaCombe is a focal point as the team’s No. 1 defenseman. His star turn against Edmonton opened eyes to the possibilities of him being a big-minutes, two-way leader. If he takes another big step next season, LaCombe could move into untouchable territory as someone in the Norris Trophy mix.
