VIDEO: See if Ryan Garbutt Has What it Takes to Join. Watch Outstanding Video Below..
He’d made a bigger offensive impact over the previous two seasons in Dallas, tallying 25 goals and 32 assists across 142 contests.
The Ducks will hope he’s able to rediscover at least some of that scoring touch. They struggled mightily to find the net during the first half of the campaign and currently rank at the bottom of the league in goals per game (1.98).
On July 1, 2011, Garbutt’s prominent rise through the professional ranks continued when he was signed to his first NHL contract on a one-year two-way contract by the Dallas Stars as a free agent. In the 2011–12 season, Garbutt was recalled by Dallas from AHL affiliate, Texas and scored his first NHL goal on February 21, 2012, against Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens.
The Ducks get a player more prepared to help them right away, and Garbutt’s numbers should improve if he’s placed in a more offensive role. On the flip side, the West-leading Hawks couldn’t find a consistent place for the veteran and can take a chance on Sekac without needing much from him in the short term.
