15. Rickard Rakell

Rickard Rakell played the first ten seasons of his career with the Anaheim Ducks, the team that took him late in the First Round in 2011.

The Swedish Winger debuted for four Games in the 2012-13 Season and played in another 18 the next season before he was a permanent member of the Ducks roster. Rakell, who has never had more than 27 Penalty Minutes in a season, had his first of two 30 Goal seasons in 2016-17, and he would lead the NHL in Game-Winning Goals (10) that year. Rakell was an All-Star the year after but during Anaheim's disappointing 2021/22 Season, Rakell was traded to the Penguins.  

With Anaheim, Rakell scored 339 Points in 550 Games
