Ducks Have No Plans For Changes Now

from Curtis Zupke of the OC Register,
The Ducks’ make-or-break homestand is over, and apparently the team is making it for now.
Ducks general manager Bob Murray appears to remain patient after his club went 4-2-1 in its seven-game stretch at home. He made a minor trade Wednesday to acquire Montreal center Kyle Chipchura but said it did not portend a bigger move.
“Do I have a lot planned?” Murray said. “No.”
Ducks players expected roster changes if they didn’t turn around a sinking season during the homestand, which was fruitful despite losses in their final two games.
The Ducks got goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere back into form and their special teams improved.
That’s not to say Murray is entirely content as the team begins a two-game road trip today at Dallas. While he didn’t foresee any immediate impact moves, he said “there’s no drop-dead date for this or that. It’s the attitude of the players and how they play that dictates what we do upstairs.”
