2nd best VAN draft pick - selections 1-30

[Jyrki21]

It would be interesting to start a new series of threads (one at a time) with a poll where we can vote on the best player we ever drafted (wether they ended up playing for us or not ) at round #9, #8, #7... and so on...

I guess that might be a little time consuming if there isn't a website that lists our draft history organized by rounds. I've been looking, but haven't found one yet.

Picks are organized in groups of 30, rather than what round they were at the time (as though the league always had 30 teams).

They are color-coded for position, and ordered in descending number of games played.

Picks 1-30 (Current 1st round):

Votes to date:

1. Henrik Sedin 78.57%

OK, even though I lean toward Daniel here as well, I kind of thought Neely would be tallying a ton of votes here.

Maybe if the poll were "Best BOS trade ever", Cam Neely would win. The Canucks threw Neely away for nothing without giving him a chance to play top 6 minutes / PP. So no ... Neely doesn't get my vote. Picking him and seeing him prosper elsewhere only leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Daniel Sedin pretty easily.

That's... not what the question is, though.
