Anaheim Ducks 25th Anniversary: Best player to wear numbers 16-20
By Ed Stein
19 – Andy McDonald (2001-2007)
Andy Mac is one of the franchise’s all-time players. Quite an accomplishment for a guy the Mighty Ducks signed as an undrafted free-agent. Through hard work, he became a Stanley Cup champion.
McDonald first put on the #19 jersey in 2001. After bouncing between Anaheim and the AHL, the previous season, it was a sign that full-time NHL duty was on his horizon. He started off a little slow but exploded to score 163 points combined during the 2005-06, and 2006-07 seasons.
He is one of only five Ducks players to score over 80 points in a season (85 in 2005-06) joining current Hall-of-Famers Kariya, and Teemu Selanne as well as future candidates Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. MacDonald is also among the top 10 franchise leaders in several offensive categories: Goals (9th-92), Assists (8th-167), Points (8th-259), Goals Created (7th-93.9), and Power Play Goals (8th-26).
