56) and Ulf Samuelsson (No. 214).For all of the great players this franchise selected in the late 1980s/early 1990s, they were kind of spread out across several drafts.
They are two of the three most important players from the most successful stretch in team history.The Nordiques took a 1,000-point player with each of its first two picks as an NHL franchise with Michel Goulet at No.
He averaged under 10 minutes of ice time in 33 SHL games and was either healthy-scratched or played as the extra forward an awful lot this season. Then the fourth pick at No. 1 goaltender. Actually, that’s not entirely true. It would be surprising to see a WHL prospect selected in the top 10 of the 2020 NHL Draft, but there are a handful of first-round candidates and good depth. 177) in the Class of ‘88.The Bruins have not had the best of track records in the draft, and several of their best picks have been traded away as young players. 19) and Corey Perry (No. 17) had 1,210 points and later helped the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Final three times as general manager. The gap after Kurri and before the final three is pretty large, and Moog had a lot of NHL success after leaving the Oilers. This franchise picked in the top five seven times in its first 20 years, and the best players in that group are Jay Bouwmeester and Ed Jovanovski. 41. 34) was traded in 1993 to the Oilers and ended up with more than 1,200 games and 1,000 points. Let’s go with 2003, though, which includes Braydon Coburn (No. 69).Four players who played 1,000 games in the NHL is an epic haul in one class. 3 was a high pick that didn’t miss, but adding Steve Larmer at No. 117 makes it one of the best for any franchise.The Stars have been really bad at drafting hockey players for a long time. That’s pretty remarkable.Who is the all-time leading scorer among players drafted by the Panthers? And he has the skill and hands to make things happen when he has it. 186) and Shane O’Brien (No.
The Nash and Voracek drafts were largely whiffs other than them, so it’s either a one-man haul or 2006 when they selected Derick Brassard, Steve Mason and Derek Dorsett. There were nearly 1,000 goals and 9,000 penalty minutes between those four, though Yzerman did most of the scoring.An upset selection! The Canadiens had three firsts and three seconds that year, and even if the other players combined for less than 800 games, using those six picks to select two of the best players of the 1970s and Hockey Hall of Fame members worked out pretty well.Drafting two of the three best players in team history is a pretty nice haul. Kevin Weekes, with 350 games played as mostly a career backup, has the most of any Panthers pick. 1 overall, then added Larry Robinson at No.
112) and Stefan Persson (No.
Daniel Sedin (No. The actual answer is Radek Dvorak, who had 590 points in 1,260 games.Maybe it should just be 2001, with Ilya Kovalchuk carrying an otherwise unproductive group. Ryan Getzlaf (No.
He passed Fedorov for the most goals by a Russia-bornplayer, long ago earning thetitle of best Russianin NHL history.
