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 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
4. Corey Perry
5. Jean-Sebastian Giguere

 You can find the entire list here.

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.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football Hockey and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the first ten of the 2024 Hockey List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 1 to 10:

11. Keith Tkachuk
12. Bernie Nicholls
13. Henrik Zetterberg
14. Ryan Getzlaf*
15. Carey Price*
16. P.K. Subban*
17. J.C. Tremblay
18. Ryan Miller
19. Lorne Chabot
20. Dave Taylor 

*Denotes First Year of Eligibility

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

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 season after, where he began four years 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.

Ryan Getzlaf played his entire career with the Anaheim Ducks, and when it was all said and done, he becmae the franchise leader in Points with 1,019,  Assists (737), and is second all-time in Goals (282).
