The team that played this past week on that brutal road trip is nothing like the one that will be playing the rest of the season. Pahlsson and Giguere should be back possibly by Wednesday. Then there still is Schneider out for a bit. Plus, there's always the possibility that Selanne and Niedermayer return at some point.

My only concern with the Ducks so far is that Bryzgalov has sucked, hurting his trade value. I'm really thinking he's shipped out shortly as Hiller looks like a great backup option.

I think your biggest concern should be the offense.. 4 goals total in the first 4 games. The did score 4 vs Pit, but the 4th was w/ ~20 seconds left in the game. Even w/ that game.. 1.6 goals/game is not gonna win many games and Pahlsson's 20-25 points/season isn't gonna help all that much.
