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.

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.

41. Trevor Zegras

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.
