#4 Logan MacMillan

Drafted: 2007, 1st Round 19th Selection (19th Overall)

Notables Drafted After MacMillan: Max Pacioretty, David Perron, P.K. Subban

Fresh off the franchise’s first Stanley Cup Championship optimism was high headed into the draft. The Ducks went with Logan MacMillan of the Halifax Mooseheads in the QMJHL. MacMillan was low on the Central Scouting Rankings sitting at 42 among North American skaters and it was a little questionable the Ducks would use the 19th pick on him when arguably better players were still there.

MacMillan was fresh off his best season in Juniors 55 points in 68 games and another 20 in 12 playoff games and they took a chance. That proved to be a poor choice as MacMillan was traded to the Calgary Flames in 2010 for Jason Jaffrey and a conditional draft pick and never suited up for the Ducks or any NHL team for that matter. MacMillan bounced around the AHL for a few seasons and now plays professionally in Romania.
