Who knew Andy McDonald was so important? He was traded midseason the next year (for Doug Weight). They also lost Penner to the offer sheet.
2008 added: Bobby Ryan, Todd Bertuzzi, and Hiller took over as backup from Bryz.
No reason the '08 ducks couldn't have been as good as the previous year, yet they didn't make it out of the first round...
