gold star for USAHOF

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.

Three years after the New Jersey Devils drafted Adam Henrique, he was a contender for the Calder Trophy, finishing third and leading the NHL in Short-Handed Goals (4).  Henrique had 51 Points that year but regressed to only 16 in 42 Games, but he rebounded with back-to-back 43 Point seasons.
