26. Fredrik Olausson

Fredrik Olausson is one of the best Swedish defensemen in the game’s history, who had three runs with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.

Olausson first played for the Winnipeg Jets for seven and a half years and then for Edmonton for two years before he was plucked off of waivers by Anaheim in January of 1996. He didn't stay long, as he was traded to Pittsburgh that November, but the blueliner returned as a Free Agent, where he played two years, the first of which saw him score 56 Points and finish ninth in Norris Trophy voting.  Olausson was a Mighty Duck for one more year before joining the Swiss League for one year, the Detroit Red Wings for one, and then one final year in Anaheim before returning to Europe.

Olausson scored 127 Points in 244 Games for the Ducks.
