After playing eight years in the NHL in a minute role, Defenseman Bobby Dollas was taken by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the 1993 Expansion Draft.  Anaheim gave him the opportunity that he had always coveted.

Sami Vatanen was a Fourth Round Pick by the Anaheim Ducks, but the Finnish Defenseman did not make his way stateside until three years later.

Andrew Cogliano played for the Ducks for eight seasons, and while you would never slap the title of a superstar on Cogliano, you could state that he was a dependable character player throughout his tenure in Anaheim.

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