Festerling was an undrafted player signed by the Ducks out of the WHL.
Festerling is not the biggest or fastest guy but he’s smart he does not go beyond his limitations but he competes hard and is regarded for his character. He like Mikkelson has a shot to make the team and this is a big year for him as well, he needs to show that he can be a fixture on the teams 3rd pairing down the line. He’s the 2nd injury callup most likely, he needs a strong training camp if he wants to unseat Sheldon Brookbank as the 7th D but I look forward to seeing if he’s improved since last year.
The issue again like Mikkelson is the depth chart, he has a limited window to prove his worth to the Ducks and with the additional depth the pro squad has now it’s just going to be extremely difficult for him to get much of a chance.
I project him as a 5-7 D.
