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.

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 year after, playing partly in the AHL, but kept his rookie eligibility going into 2021/22, scoring 61 Points, made the All-Rookie Team, and was 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, but last season saw him play in only 31 Games with a disappointing 15 Points due to injuries.  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 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.

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 a very good amateur career in his home start 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, Anaheim.

Terry bounced back and forth between Anaheim and the Minors in his first two years, and was a full Duck in his third season, though he was mostly 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 two years ago, and had 54 last season.

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 penalty kills and is more often on a power play, and trying 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.

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.

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).

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

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.

Kyle Palmieri was taken 26^thOverall in 2009, and the native of Smithtown, New York, made it to the NHL a year later, playing ten games for the Anaheim Ducks.

Dave Karpa is arguably the only player to be traded from the Quebec Nordiques in Anaheim's worth discussing.

Pavel Trnka played seven seasons in the National Hockey League, of which the Czech Defenseman was with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim for the first five of the seven.

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.

The younger brother of Hockey Hall of Famer, Scott Niedermayer, Rob Niedermayer carved out a long career full of grit and leadership, and he brought that to Anaheim when he was traded there before the Ducks' 2003 playoff run.
