Scheifele is just the ultimate feel good story. Considered a reach when he became the first pick for the Jets 2.0, took some seasoning in juniors before he was ready for the NHL, and then absolutely exploded into a desperately needed #1C when Little got injured in his third season. Is now signed to a steal of a contract through his prime, lives and breathes hockey, and is likely the team's next captain.
The only player that has a chance to become as much of a feel good story is Hellebuyck. Undrafted his first draft, and spent his draft+1 year in the NAHL. Was discovered when the scout went to a game to watch another goalie, after which he became an off the board pick in the fifth round. Was supposed to be the #2 or #3 for Lowell, but played so well he became the de facto #1 as a rookie a couple of months in. Tore up the NCAA and gave some hope for a fanbase that hadn't had a good goalie in forever. Went to the AHL where he was supposed to platoon together with a former NHL goalie, but outplayed him so severely he only got like 4 games off over a 4 month stretch. Kept playing at an elite level up until his second year in the NHL. And then when the team went out and signed a goalie who was expected to either be the #1 or at worst platoon with Hellebuyck, Hellebuyck again outplayed him so much he ended up tied for #1 in games played by a goalie, as well as finishing as a Vezina finalist. The first Vezina finalist in franchise history AFAIK.
But I guess he was also a 5th round pick, so he's actually not any good.
