Better All-Time Roster: Anaheim Ducks Or Winnipeg Jets?

[DitchMarner]

In these polls, I'm including only players who spent at least two seasons with a franchise on their all-time rosters.

For relocated franchises, I am including worthy players who played for the franchises prior to relocation(s).

Consider how good a player was when he played for the franchise whose roster he's included on. For example: If Fedorov is part of Team Columbus, don't think of him as the 1994 version of the player.

Anaheim Ducks:​

Paul Kariya - Ryan Getzlaf - Teemu Selanne
Rickard Rakell - Andy McDonald - Corey Perry
Steve Rucchin - Ryan Kesler - Sami Pahlsson
Andrew Cogliano - Saku Koivu - Jakob Silfverberg

Scott Niedermayer - Chris Pronger
Cam Fowler - Hampus Lindholm
Francois Beauchemin - Keith Carney

Jean-Sebastien Giguere
John Gibson


Winnipeg Jets:

Ilya Kovalchuk - Mark Scheifele - Marian Hossa
Dany Heatley - Marc Savard - Blake Wheeler
Nikolaj Ehlers - Bryan Little - Andrew Ladd
Patrik Laine - Vyacheslav Kozlov - Kyle Connor

Josh Morrissey - Dustin Byfuglien
Toby Enstrom - Jacob Trouba
Niclas Havelid - Tyler Myers

Connor Hellebuyck
Kari Lehtonen

Niedermayer and Pronger tilt it for the Ducks. Jets have deeper scoring depth but they’re also considerably worse defensively at forward

Neidermayer and Pronger on D is a huge difference here for the Ducks. One of the best all time D duos.
Having Tyler Myers in your top 6 D really shows the gaps between the two D’s as well.

Came here to say this. That top pairing is just too big an advantage the Ducks have for the Jets to overcome.

Pretty much this, plus Francois Beauchemin at his peak on your third pairing just lights out.

Paul Kariya - Andy McDonald - Teemu Selanne = High scoring speedy line.

Bobby Ryan - Ryan Getzlaf - Corey Perry = Size and Skill scoring line that did well before.

Andrew Cogliano - Ryan Kesler - Jakob Silfverberg = a line the Ducks used well before that could shutdown opponents and score on them.

Travis Moen - Samuel Pahlsson - Rob Niedermayer = Stanley Cup winning team most valuable line that can shutdown opponents while scoring big goals.

Hampus Lindholm - Francois Beauchemin ~ should be a defense pair when it worked well once before.

Cam Fowler - Ruslan Salei ~ Ruslan Salei should be on all Ducks blueline considering he was drafted by the Ducks and played well for them for so long.

That is some changes I would have for a All-Time Ducks team. Top defense pair and Goalies are fine.
