The general manager of the Anaheim Ducks has announced that he has two players who will miss the entirety of the 2019-2020 season. They are forwards Ryan Kesler and Patrick Eaves.
Kesler underwent hip surgery in May, It was noted at that time that he would likely miss significant time in the upcoming season. He played 60 games last season, scoring just five goals and eight points. Kesler signed a six-year contract extension worth $41.25 million with the Ducks in 2015, a deal that can likely be described as disastrous for the team.
Eaves was diagnosed with post-viral syndrome after experiencing trouble breathing and weakness in his legs. If Eaves does return to the NHL eventually, it will likely not be with the Ducks as he is entering the final year of a three-year contract.
