Volkov, who’s 23 years old, was acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning partway through the season, in exchange for prospect Antoine Morand and a seventh-round pick in 2023. He scored four goals and eight points in 18 games with the Ducks and seven goals and 13 points in 37 games overall this season.
Re-signing Volkov to a one-year deal at a low price should give the Ducks a better look at the player, to see whether he could be a long-term fit. Depending on which protection format the Ducks use for the expansion draft, there’s a slim chance that Volkov could be protected, however, it’s likely he’ll be left exposed and will instead fulfill one of the Ducks’ exposure requirements for forwards.

Do you think Alexander Volkov will be a long-term fit with the Ducks?
