gold star for USAHOF

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.

 

245. Jean-Sebastien Giguere

While Jean-Sebastien Giguere only finished as high as fourth place in Vezina Trophy voting (2007-08), he will always be known for his playoff performances with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim/Mighty Ducks.  It was in the 2003 Playoffs that Giguere led the lower-seeded Mighty Ducks to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they faced the juggernaut Detroit Red Wings.  Giguere couldn’t take them to victory, but he had a postseason leading 1.62 Goals Against Average and .945 Save Percentage and was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.
