Origin
and identity
Ryan Getzlaf turned a long Anaheim career into a record of championship contribution and sustained creative production.
Anaheim selected Getzlaf 19th in 2003. His early NHL years included the Ducks' 2007 Stanley Cup victory, when he produced 17 points in 21 playoff games. A championship so early in the record became a foundation rather than the whole story of his career.
Getzlaf later reached 87 points in 2013–14 and recorded 18 assists during the 2015 postseason. His completed NHL career comprised 1,157 regular-season games, all with Anaheim, and 1,019 points. The large assist total gives a useful shorthand for his influence: he repeatedly created scoring opportunities for the players around him.
