•(Scott) Niedermayer: Sure, Niedermayer was a Duck for only five seasons. But the Ducks won seven playoff series in those five years and he was a first team All-Star in two of them. He also was a Duck when he helped Canada win the Olympic gold medal. More than anything Niedermayer lent the franchise some of his surplus credibility. The Ducks became relevant the moment he signed.
