I saw one poster mention the Ducks had a lot of Cap Space so I went to check it out.

They do have a lot of space, but I noticed they only have 12 forwards under contract and five of them are: Brian McGratton, Tim Jackman, Shawn Horcoff, Chris Stewart and Nate Thompson.

Is it safe to say there's not a lot of talent up-front after the #1 line and Kessler...and those pieces are fading fast?

I agree -> The Western Conference is looking more wide-open come 2016 / 2017 ish.
