The Anaheim Ducks have signed prospect forward Cruz Lucius to a two-year entry-level contract after acquiring his rights from the Pittsburgh Penguins. Lucius, who excelled in college hockey with 15 goals and 46 points at Arizona State, is expected to start his professional career in the AHL with the San Diego Gulls rather than the NHL roster. While he shows potential as a playmaking winger, his skating is a concern, and he will compete against veteran players for a roster spot. Despite slim chances of making the NHL this season, a successful AHL season could lead to a future call-up.
