Either Teemu or Getzlaf is a good answer.

 

[NotLeddy]

Selanne

 

[slapKing]

Gotta go with Selanne.

 

[Plural]

Either Teemu or Getzlaf is a good answer.

Yup. I'd still go with Selanne. But Getzlaf is the only other guy with good case. Kariya was the first face of the franchise, but even during that time Selanne for all intents and purposes was about equal in name and face recognition. And considering all that happened after 2005 there really is no was put Paul ahead of Teemu.

Although, now that I think of it, I kind of want to put Kariya on the same level with Getzy. But I can't. I just would want to.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Selanne quite easily. Getzlaf probably 2nd.

 

[MattySnipes]

Selanne

Getzlaf
Kariya

 

[AvroArrow]

Selanne

Coyotes is Shane Doan.
Boston Bobby Orr

skip to Buffalo

 

[Gurglesons]

Why it’s Hasek?

 

[Cenzhin]

Selanne.



Why it’s Hasek?

Perreault has a good argument as well.

 

[Elvs]

A week ago, I started a series of polls on the Ducks board. We're ranking the 36 best forwards, the 18 best defensemen and the 6 best goaltenders in franchise history.

Franchise history: #6 Forward, #3 Defenseman & #1 Goaltender

Would be cool if other team boards did the same.

 

[DitchMarner]

When is the next poll going to start?

 

[McVespa99]

Selanne due to longevity with the team. Pronger was the best player though...

 

[McVespa99]

Selanne

Coyotes is Shane Doan.
Boston Bobby Orr

skip to Buffalo

Ouch!

 

[Mrb1p]

You should define criteria for those, because if I think of the Ducks I think
Kariga or Getzlaf

If I think whos the duck with the best career I think Selanne

If I think the best duck ever, its either Jiguy in 06 or Prongs in 07.

 

[Korpse]

I'm surprised by the lack of Kariya. I get the Selanne argument but Kariya isn't getting enough mention in this thread.

 

[McVespa99]

I'm surprised by the lack of Kariya. I get the Selanne argument but Kariya isn't getting enough mention in this thread.

The op is not asking us to mention good players. They are asking who was the best.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Teemu Salami for me

 

[Paul4587]

I'm surprised by the lack of Kariya. I get the Selanne argument but Kariya isn't getting enough mention in this thread.

Teemu was the better player here, played here for longer and won a cup here. It’s clearly him over Kariya. Getzlaf is also ahead of PK in terms of who was better in Anaheim.

 

[djboos22]

Voted Teemu

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

If we're talking peak it's Kariya.

Career it's obviously Selanne or Getzlaf, but I doubt anyone who discounts Kariya was an active watcher from 96-01.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Giguere has to be top-3; maybe even higher since he was a very integral reason why Anaheim won their only Cup.

And broke my 10 year old heart.

 

[Paul4587]

I was an avid watcher most of that period and I still take peak Teemu as a Duck over PK. If we are including playoffs I take peak Getzlaf over him too.

 

[tsujimoto74]

I went Kariya. He was so f***ing good. I also associate him with the Ducks a lot more than Selanne, so when I think of who had the greatest Ducks career, he's the first name that comes to mind.

 

[TheNeutralPresident]

I'll say Kariya due to Selanne being a Jet pick. But Teemu isn't a wrong answer.
