something goofy i just noticed.
as of today, the second, third, and fourth leading scorers in the league are first overall picks: nathan mackinnon, john tavares, and steven stamkos.
last year, connor mcdavid won the art ross, and sidney crosby and pat kane tied for second.
so it's not super rare, right?
in 2016, it was 1. kane, 3. crosby, 4. thornton
2015, 2. tavares, 3. crosby, 4. ovechkin
2013, 2. stamkos, 3. crosby and ovechkin (t), 5. kane
2010, 2. crosby and ovechkin (t), 4. stamkos
2007, 1. crosby, 2. thornton, 3. lecavalier
but it never happened, not even once, before 2007.
now i'm not one of those now is better/evolution of the game people, but scouting sure is a more exact science these days isn't it?
