Samuel Pahlsson was traded to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim only 17 Games into his NHL career, and it was his second team where he played his best hockey.

Cullen's 21-year NHL career began in Anaheim, where he was a Second Round Pick in 1996.

After playing eight years in the NHL in a minute role, Defenseman, Bobby Dollas was taken by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the 1993 Expansion Draft.  Anaheim gave him the opportunity that he had always coveted.

Sami Vatanen was a Fourth Round Pick by the Anaheim Ducks, but the Finnish Defenseman did not make his way stateside until three years later.
