Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our pre-2025/26 revision of our top 50 Anaheim Ducks.

As for all of our top 50 players in hockey, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Ducks failed to make the playoffs again, but three new entrants and two elevations within the Top 50.

As always, we present our top five, which remain unchanged.

1. Teemu Selanne
2. Ryan Getzlaf
3. Paul Kariya
4. Corey Perry
5. Jean-Sebastien Giguere

You can find the entire list here. 

Defenseman Cam Fowler, who was traded to the St. Louis Blues during the season, remained at #6.

Goalie John Gibson was also unable to move his rank based on last season.  The now Detroit Red Wing remained at #8.

Center Troy Terry moved up three spots to #19.

Center Trevor Zegras advanced twelve spots to #29.

The first new entry is veteran Frank Vatrano.  The Left Wing debuts at #38.

Mason McTavish makes his first appearance on the list at #41.

The third new entrant is Center Ryan Strome, who comes in at #50.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

After nine NHL seasons, the Anaheim Ducks signed Frank Vatrano, and the Left Wing would exceed the club’s expectations.

With increased ice time, Vatrano has been able to score at least 21 Goals in all three of his seasons (thus far) in Anaheim.  In 2023-24, Vatrano had his best year to date, with highs in Goals (37) and Points (59), and he was an All-Star for the first time.

Vatrano might now be over 30, but he has never been better.
