Ducks Add UFC Connection to Roster with Malott Signing

The Anaheim Ducks are betting on bloodlines and athleticism by signing the brother of UFC star Mike Malott. It's the kind of under-the-radar move that separates savvy front offices from the rest, bringing in a prospect with elite genes and a family pedigree in combat sports. Whether that translates to NHL success remains the real question, but the Ducks clearly see something worth developing in their organization.
