Viel was traded to the Ducks from the Bruins on Friday, in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2026.
Viel saw limited time with Boston this season, averaging 9:30 of ice time in 10 games. Viel was a healthy scratch on 38 occasions in 2025-26 and failed to garner a point this season, though he managed 27 hits and 30 PIM. He’ll likely have a similar role with Anaheim, seeing fourth-line minutes at times.
