#5 -Filip Forsberg and Leon Draisaitl

To kick things off, we have a joint entry to this list.  Filip Forsberg and Leon Draisaitl are Anaheim Ducks Killers, plain and simple. They make this list together because they play a similar style and like previously stated, they both absolutely torch the Ducks.

It’s no wonder. Draisaitl has the luxury of playing with Connor McDavid. Meanwhile, Forsberg gets to play with fellow countrymen, Viktor Arvidsson, and another entry on this list who will go unnamed for now.

The only thing that sets Forsberg apart from Draisaitl is the hit he put on Josh Manson in the 2016 playoffs. Putting Manson on the shelf with a concussion for the remainder of the series, Forsberg put himself in the ill will of Ducks fan for a long time to come.
