Teemu Selanne, RW

The “Finnish Flash” came to Anaheim in a trade in 1996 and would team with Kariya to give the Ducks the best one-two punch in the NHL while also giving the team legitimacy in the league, the pair would lead the team to their first playoff series win in 1997.

Selanne would be traded away in 2001, but his return in 2006 ushered in a new era for the Ducks.

In his return Selanne would help them reach the Western Conference Finals in 2006 and won the Stanley Cup in 2007.  By the time Selanne would retire in 2014 he would break his old partners records for goals (457), assists (531), and points 988.
