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.

A nine-year veteran when he signed with the Anaheim Ducks as a Free Agent, Ryan Strome brought a veteran presence to a rebuilding organization.   

In the three years (to date) that he has been a Duck, Strome’s consistency has been epic, scoring exactly 41 Points in each of those years, though his efficiency is often shown off the puck with his disruptive style of play.

Taken third overall in 2021, Mason McTavish quickly made it to the National Hockey League, making it to the Ducks roster before his 19th birthday.   Since that time, McTavish has been a consistent Center, owning a quick release and a hockey IQ that defies his age.  McTavish has only played three seasons with the Ducks, but has scored at least 42 Points in all of them.  Last year, he had 52 Points with an even plus-minus; the latter being especially impressive, considering the Ducks are still rebuilding.

McTavish is a potential top-ten franchise player.

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.

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 have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 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, Anaheim had another losing season and was not a playoff team.  Regardless, there were some elevations, though new entrant to our Top 50.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Teemu Selanne
2. Ryan Getzlaf
3. Paul Kariya

American Defenseman Cam Fowler was unable to move past #6, where he stayed after the revision. 

Goalie John Gibson edged up one spot to #8.

Left Wing Jakob Silfverberg, who left the NHL after last season to return to Sweden, went up three spots to #13.

Center Adam Henrique moved to #19 from #26.

Another American, Center Troy Terry, reached #22 from #30.

Notably, Trevor Zegras, who was injured for most of the year, was unable to elevate from #41.

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 not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Anaheim failed to make the playoffs, but we still have two new entrants and four new elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Teemu Selanne

2. Ryan Getzlaf

3. Paul Kariya

4. Corey Perry

5. Jean-Sebastian Giguere

You can find the entire list here.

Veteran Defenseman, Cam Fowler, advanced one spot to #6.

Goalie, John Gibson, broke into the top ten, moving from 12 to #9.

Forward, Adam Henrique, went to #27 from #37.

Center, Trevor Zegras, makes his first appearance at #41.  Subsequently, Kevin Shattenkirk, who has since left the Ducks enters at #46.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

A ten-year veteran and a Stanley Cup Champion with Tampa Bay Lightning the year before he signed a three-year deal with the Anaheim Ducks, Kevin Shattenkirk brought the Ducks exactly what they signed him for, veteran leadership and defensive depth.

In the three seasons he played in SoCal, Shattenkirk scored 77 Points, with his best being the second year, where he had 35 Points.  He left for the Boston Bruins in 2023.

Trevor Zegras starred in the United States Junior Hockey League, so much so that he was a top ten pick in the 2019 Draft.  Rather than join the team that drafted him, Anaheim, the Center honored a commitment to Boston University, where, as a freshman, he was the third highest scorer in the NCAA.  Zegras joined Anaheim the following year, playing part of the season in the AHL. Still, they kept his rookie eligibility going into 2021/22, scoring 61 Points, making the All-Rookie Team, and being the Calder Trophy runner-up to Minnesota’s Kirill Kaprisov.

In 2022-23, Zegras scored 65 Points and appeared to be a potential perennial All-Star. However, last season saw him play in only 31 games, scoring 15 Points due to injuries, and in 57 games, he scored only 32 points.  As he is still very young, Zegras can easily bounce back and has a shot to make this list's stratosphere.

Getzlaf was a First Round Pick in 2003, and he would debut for the team two years later with a 39-Point rookie year.  A member of the 2007 Ducks team that won the Stanley Cup, Getzlaf's play blossomed the following season, where he began a four-year streak of 50-plus Assist seasons, and he would hit that threshold four additional times.  

A Second-Team All-Star in 2014, the Center finished second for the Hart Trophy that year and was tenth in Frank J. Selke voting.  Getzlaf also received Selke votes in seven other seasons.

Getzlaf is already the all-time Ducks leader in Assists (737) and post-season Points (120); in his final year in the NHL, 2021-22, he overtook Teemu Selanne in Points (1,019).   He is also a decorated performer in International competitions, helping Canada win two Olympic Gold Medals (2010 & 2014) and Gold in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

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 not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Anaheim failed to make the playoffs, and went on a fire sale at the end of the year trading assets, including players who are ranked here.  Nevertheless, there were two new entries.

As always, we present our top five, which remained the same from last year:

1. Teemu Selanne

2. Ryan Getzlaf

3. Paul Kariya

4. Corey Perry

5. Jean-Sebastian Giguere

You can find the entire list here.

Getzlaf notably closed out his career in 2022, but we felt he did not quite do enough to overtake Selanne for the top spot.

12-year veteran, Defenseman, Cam Fowler went up one spot to #7.

Defenseman, Hampus Lindholm, who was traded to the Boston Bruins late last season, was unable to move past #9.

Goalie, John Gibson, edged up one spot to #12.

Forward, Rickard Rakell, who was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins last last year also held the same spot.  He is ranked at #15.  

Another Duck, Jakob Silfverberg, who is still active is still at the same rank, #17.

The same goes for Defenseman, Josh Manson, who also was unable to advance from his spot at #21 before he was traded last year to Colorado, where he won a Stanley Cup.

The first of two new entries is Center, Adam Henrique, who arrived from a trade from New Jersey in 2017.

The second entry is current top sniper, Troy Terry, who lit the lamp 37 times last season.  He debuts at #42.

Henrique and Terry knock out Nick Ritchie and Jason Marshall from the Top 50.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

A mid-level draft pick in 2015 by the Ducks, Troy Terry had an excellent amateur career in his home state of Colorado, playing at the state’s top level until he joined the University of Denver, where he led the Pioneers to a win in the 2017 Frozen Four.  Following that title, Terry left for the team that drafted him, the Anaheim Ducks.

Terry bounced back and forth between Anaheim and the Minors in his first two years and was a whole Duck in his third season, though he was mainly used on a lower line.  What propelled Terry to this list was his last season, where he exploded with a 37-30-67 campaign, emerging as Anaheim’s top sniper and an All-Star.  The American had another 60-plus Point year three years ago and had 54 the year after.   Last season, Terry had 55 Points, marking his fourth straight year over 50..

Terry could be poised for a massive breakout year if the dominoes all fall his way.

Adam Henrique became a gritty fan favorite in New Jersey for his penalty killing and likability, but all good things come to an end, and after eight years, he was traded early in the 2017-18 campaign to the Anaheim Ducks.

Henrique’s style with the Ducks altered a bit, as he rarely does penalty kills and is more often on a power play, and tries to put the puck in the net.  A leader on and off the ice, Henrique had two 20-goal Seasons for Anaheim and likely would have had a third in 2023-24, had he not been traded to Edmonton at the trade deadline.  He compiled 264 Points for Anaheim.

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

Please note, that this is our first revision, reflective of the last year.

With the Ducks being a weak team in 2020-21, very little changed, and the top five remains the same as last year, and only had two modest climbs.  As always, we present the Top Five.

1. Teemu Selanne

2. Ryan Getzlaf

3. Paul Kariya

4. Corey Perry

5. Jean-Sebastian Giguere

You can find the entire list here.

There were two slight changes, both of which moved up one spot, that being Rickard Rakell (to #15) and Jakob Silfverberg (to #17).

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Anaheim Ducks. 

Named after the Mighty Ducks, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim first took flight in 1993 as an Expansion Team in the same year as the Florida Panthers. The Ducks landed their first major star in Paul Kariya in 1996, and they would trade for another in Teemu Selanne. 

In 2003, they would surprisingly win the Western Conference, but they lost to the New Jersey Devils.  The team was sold by their original company, Disney, and in 2006 they were renamed the Anaheim Ducks.  The newly named team went on to win their first Stanley Cup by defeating the Ottawa Senators in 2007.  They have yet to reach the Finals since.

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 NHL.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

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

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

This list is updated up until the end of the 2019-20 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Teemu Selanne

2. Ryan Getzlaf

3. Paul Kariya

4. Corey Perry

5. Jean-Sebastian Giguere

We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.  

Look for our more material coming soon!

Up next, will be the top 50 New York Giants.

As always we thank you for your support.

Taken with the sixth last pick of the 2014 Draft, Czech winger, Ondrej Kase played a year in the AHL before the Right Wing made the roster the following season.

Finnish Defenseman Toni Lydman had played four years for Calgary and five for Buffalo before he joined the Anaheim Ducks as a Free Agent in 2010.  Lydman might have been nearing the end of his career, but he still had a lot left to offer, especially in his first year as a Duck.

After three years with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Joe Sacco was taken by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the Expansion Draft, thus making the American an original member of the team.

Mike LeClerc’s first three years as a professional hockey player was mostly spent in the American Hockey League, but in 1999, the Left Wing earned his spot on the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim roster.

Russian Defenseman Vitaly Vishnevsky was the Fifth Overall Pick in 1998, and he would play in 30 Games for the team that year for the squad that took him, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.

Petr Sykora played for the New Jersey Devils for seven seasons, winning a Stanley Cup before he was part of a seven-player deal that sent him to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.
