The Anaheim Ducks have made a ton of tremendous draft selections in their almost 25 years in existence. With notable names such as; Paul Kariya, Steve Rucchin, Ruslan Salei, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Rickard Rakell, and John Gibson. For all these hits, there have been some big misses as well.

**Rules**

The player must have been taken in Round 1 or 2 by the Anaheim Ducks. A bust qualifies that the prospect was highly touted and couldn’t find success at the NHL level. Players selected rounds 3-7 that do not pan out don’t technically qualify as a bust.
