Players Play
Yzerman's draft picks had a huge impact on the Tampa Bay Lightning's success.
Point, Kucherov and Vasilevsky were Conn Smythe candidates. Palat and Cirelli also made big contributions.
But except Vasilvesky, none of his first round picks played in these playoffs.
Granted, Namestnikov was part of the McDonough trade. Drouin brought Sergachev.
Just an odd quirk.
Stevie loved trades and unsigned prospects..
