2. Ryan Getzlaf

Ryan Getzlaf played his entire career with the Anaheim Ducks, and when it was all said and done, he becmae the franchise leader in Points with 1,019,  Assists (737), and is second all-time in Goals (282).

Getzlaf was a First Round Pick in 2003, and he would debut for the team two years later with a 39-Point rookie year.  A member of the 2007 Ducks team that won the Stanley Cup, Getzlaff’s play blossomed the season after, where he began a four-year stretch of 50-plus Assist seasons, and he would hit that threshold four additional times.  

A Second-Team All-Star in 2014, the Center finished second for the Hart Trophy that year and was also tenth in Frank J. Selke voting.  Getzlaff also received Selke votes in seven other seasons.

Finishing his career as one of the best leaders in the Game, Getzlaf was in serious consideration as the number one player in franchise history, and  though we did not give him that spot, he is destined to have a major post-career accolade by the Ducks.
