3. Paul Kariya, LW (1994-2003)

Kariya was taken with the fourth overall draft pick in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. He recorded 39 points (18 goals and 21 assists) in his first season and was named to the All-Rookie team for his accomplishments.

Kariya also won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, an award given to the player who displays a combination of skill and sportsmanship, for two consecutive years (1996 and 1997).

His career ended in 2010, but he still ranks fourth all-time in points (669) for the Ducks. He entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2017, and his No. 9 retired in 2018.
