Ducks Sign Calle Clang, Jan Mysak To Two-Way Deals

at CDT | by 3 Comments

The Ducks have signed restricted free agent goaltender Calle Clang to a two-way deal for the upcoming season, according to a team announcement. The team also announced a two-way agreement for RFA forward Jan Mysak. Financial terms were not disclosed by the team but PuckPedia reports that Clang’s deal is worth $775K in the NHL and $85K in the minors, while Mysak’s is worth $775K and $90K, respectively.

Clang, 23, was a third-round pick of the Penguins in 2020, and Anaheim acquired his signing rights in the deal that sent Rickard Rakell to Pittsburgh in 2022. He looked like quite an intriguing prospect at the time and was amid a run of three strong seasons in professional leagues in his native Sweden. Now, his development has stalled since he arrived in North America at the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

The former Champions Hockey League winner with Rogle BK has made 68 appearances for the AHL’s San Diego Gulls in the last few years, logging a 3.15 GAA and a below-average .896 SV% with a 22-32-8 record. His save percentages have slowly declined, from .904 in a five-game trial in 2022-23 to .897 in 2023-24 to .895 last season.

Clang, who stands at 6’2″ and 194 lbs, won’t be in contention for an NHL roster spot in the fall with Lukas Dostal, Petr Mrazek, and Ville Husso ahead of him on the depth chart. He could be in line for extended playing time in San Diego if Husso ends up as part of a three-goalie rotation in the NHL. Still, even that isn’t a given with three other young goalies under contract competing for minor-league playing time in Vyacheslav Buteyets, Damian Clara, and Tomas Suchanek.

Mysak is newer to the Ducks organization than Clang. Anaheim acquired in a minor prospect swap with the Canadiens last season, sending underperforming first-rounder Jacob Perreault the other way.

While Perreault is no longer with the Habs, Mysak extends his stay in Orange County on the heels of a decent showing for San Diego in 2024-25. A second-round pick in 2020, Mysak put together an 18-24–42 scoring line in 68 games after ending the previous season with just one goal in 18 games for the Gulls.

Now 23, the Czech forward has some call-up potential this season if injuries strike. If so, it would be the NHL debut for the 5’11”, 190-lb Mysak, who’s entering his fourth professional season.

Both players will be restricted free agents again next summer. Anaheim now has 38 out of 50 contract slots filled.

Canadiens, Ducks Swap Jan Mysak For Jacob Perreault

at CDT | by 2 Comments

The Canadiens and Ducks have exchanged forward prospects Jan Mysak and Jacob Perreault, both teams announced. It’s a one-for-one swap of U-22 prospects whose development has stalled with their respective minor-league clubs.

Perreault, 21, is a Montreal native and was a first-round pick of the Ducks in 2020 after scoring 39 goals and 70 points in 59 games with the OHL’s Sarnia Sting. Concerningly, his production has declined after a strong rookie season with AHL San Diego in 2020-21 (17 points in 27 games), and he’s tallied seven goals and 18 points in 31 games this season with a -3 rating. He made his NHL debut in January 2022 but has not seen major league action since.

The son of former Canadien Yanic Perreault and the older brother of Rangers prospect Gabe Perreault, Jacob is a natural right-winger. He still has one season remaining on his entry-level contract with a cap hit of $863.3K, so he won’t be a restricted free agent until the summer of 2025.

Unlike Perreault, Mysak can shift to center. The 21-year-old Czech forward was a second-round pick by Montreal in 2020 and had the rare experience of immediately playing pro hockey. Despite being drafted out of a Canadian junior league, he was permitted to suit up for the AHL’s Laval Rocket in 2020-21 because the OHL had paused game action due to COVID. There, he notched two goals in 22 games before returning to the OHL the following year, where he tallied 34 goals and 64 points in 61 games with the Hamilton Bulldogs en route to a Memorial Cup appearance. He’s on an opposite trajectory to Perreault – slowly heating up in the minors with 20 points in 48 games for AHL Laval this year after recording just nine in 40 games last season.

Mysak is also in the second season of his entry-level deal and will be an RFA in 2025. His cap hit is slightly lower at $828.3K, but as both players are assigned to the minors at the time of the trade, the swap has no salary cap impact for either team.
