We continue our countdown to the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Chris Bushell does a 180 from his last story and brings you the Anaheim Ducks five best late round hidden gems. Some of these players were outright steals for where they were selected in the draft.

The Anaheim Ducks, especially as of late, have done a marvelous job of landing quality players following the second round. Today we look at their late round, hidden gem, draft picks.

Honorable Mention

Mike LeClerc – 1995, Third Round (55th overall). LeClerc played eight seasons for the Ducks organization including their first trip to the Stanley Cup Finals. He played 291 games and scored 132 points (54g, 78a) with Anaheim.

Drew Miller – 2003, Sixth Round (186th overall). Although he played only two seasons with Anaheim (including winning the Stanley Cup), who would have thought the former sixth-round pick, would have played 10 years in the league.
