Best drafting record

[koeltrain]

Over the last 10 years say, who has had the best drafting record? I don't have the time or tools to look up this, but thought it was interesting. I decided I would start this thread to get some discussion on the topic. So....

I guess I should put who I feel has had strong drafting for the past 10 or so years.

I have always thought that Detroit and Colorado have drafted well (especially in deeper rounds). Of course teams that are constantly bottom feeders with top 5 picks may have drafted more superstars with their top 5 pick in drafts all the time. I think the Islanders have drafted pretty well too, but Milbury just f'ed it all up.

 

[AgentNaslund*]

ok.. lets count 1995 draft to the 2005 draft...

I am including back up goalies. I do not include guys who play under 25 NHL games. I only did the best drating teams. not every team is listed here.

I am also not including players have did play games in the NHL prior to this year. EG one guy played in the 04 season as a full timer, but is not in the NHL this season.

New Jersey Devils have 13 players

New York Islanders have 11 players

Vancouver Canucks have 10 players, Peter Schaefar, Matt Cooke Bryan Allen Artem Chubarov Jarkko Ruutu , Daniel Sedin Henrik Sedin, R.J Umberger, Kevin Bieska, Ryan Kesler.

Ottawa Senators have 15 players.....

Sharks have 13....

Calgary Flames have 8....
Derek Morris, Steve Begin, Toni LYdman, Oleg Saprykin, Jarret Stoll, Chuck Kobasew, Dion Phaneuf, Kurtis Foster

Penguins have 11.

OIlers have 11.

Habs have 9

Leafs have 7
Adam Mair, Antropov, Brad Boyes, Mikael Tellqvist, Karel Pilar, Kyle Kellwood, Alexander Steen.

Flyers have 9, but in those 9 includes with later picks, the likes of Williams, Gagne, and Mike Richards.

AValanche have 14..

Sabres have 13...

Red Wings have 4..... Jiri Ficher, Nik Krownwall, Datsyuik and Zetterberg within the past 10 draft years.


as i was looking through this, Ottawa sees to have drafted the best players. For a team that is always picking later in the 1st round, players include, Havlat, Volchenkov, MIke Ficher, Patrick Eaves, Meszarous, TEam Gleason, the list goes on. Next up I thought SAn Jose awesome picking up players from the draft.

Calgary has the worst drafting record. 7 of those years, they miss the playoffs, 4 of them top 10 pick, and they still helped the leauge with 8 PLayers.

Leafs is the worst drafting team in the Leauge Nuff said. go to hockeydb and see for yourself.

you've gotta take into account the position of drafting :

 

[Ted Hoffman]

1. Define "best drafting record". Do you mean "most draft picks to make the NHL", "most GP from guys that were picked", "most points from guys that were picked", .... ?

2. It's more fair if you look at any period before 2002. Arguably one could include 2002, but if picks are going to make the NHL, they're almost always going to do it within 5 years - meaning it's still much too soon to look at 2003-2005, while 2001 and before can be looked at with a high degree of certainty.

Answer those two questions, and I'll provide some numbers.

Seems like the Bruins have really been getting better and better at drafting these past few years. Having picked no higher than 19th since 2001 I am pretty happy.

Best record in my opinion is the Isles, they just traded them all away once they got them.

Best record in my opinion is the Isles, they just traded them all away once they got them.

It's hard to say the Islanders are the best, we just got alot of early picks from 95-2000, although i guess our picks from 2002-2005 seem to be good although we picked in the middle of the pack.

It's hard comparing a team picking top 10 constantly to a team picking bottom 10.

 

[sarcastro]

It seems like the Wings draft well because their impact players all seem to come from the 6th round or later. But in reality their drafts have not been very good, or rather, were not very good from around 94 to 99. The only players they got out of those drafts were Dandenault, Holmstrom, Kuznetsov , Fischer, Datsyuk and Zetterberg. And the Wings have an alarmingly high bust rate for 1st rounders - of their 8 firsts since 92, 5 are busts by my count, 2 are Fischer and Kronwall, and it's too early to tell on Kindl. If the Wings could do a decent job drafting early as well as late, they'd have the best farm system in the league for years and years.

They've been a bit better lately - Hudler, Grigorenko, Howard, and now recently Kopecky, all look like they're going to make the NHL at some point and have lots of potential. All were taken in the second round. And middle round picks like Quincey, Filppula, McGrath, and Ryno are all impressive on various levels and have promising futures.

The trick with the Wings is, they need to fix their 1st round drafting. The way to start would be to actually use their 1st round picks, which they seem more inclined to do these days. The next step is to not take guys like Yan Golubovsky, Curtis Bowen, and Max Kuznetsov when they get the chance.

I just want to see the Wings take a forward in the first round. It's been about 150 years since they did that. And please, somebody over 6 feet tall.

 

[Debrincat93]

you've gotta take into account the position of drafting :

agreed.. because detorit didnt have a first rounder for a long time, meanwhile bringing in 1 rookie at best per year.. but i wont stand up for them, there track record has been better so it seams lately but who knows

ok.. lets count 1995 draft to the 2005 draft...

New Jersey Devils have 13 players

I don't understand the criteria: Is it guys who have played at least 25 for the Drafting team? Or just NHL

I come up with a lot more than 13? Even if it just with the Devils I come up with 16? Bold is for sure possibly 22

2003
29.) Patrick Eaves

2004
23.) Andrej Meszaros

2005: Lee could be with the team next year. Cody Bass just signed with the Sens

Overall the Senators are renoun for finding gems in the draft over the years.

as I was saying, I ment players that played more then 25 games in the NHL. Ok fine, then I will Include Josh HOlden who only played a few games in the Leauge, Harold Druken. Lemme throw in Fedor Federov who played 7 games in the NHL during hte 04 season and 0 during the 05 season. and lets thorw in Brad Ference. WHois played over 100 NHL games but is in Europe this year. THat will increase the Nuck Totals to 15. OH yea, Nathan SMith, he played 1 game in the leauge, and Brandon Reid, played 10 NHL games. Wow. THose players dont count in my mind.
Ive actually counted Parise because hes a full time NHLer. Again, players drafted from 95 to 05. I even included Crosby for Pittsburgh.

I was listing players that are NHL regulars. NOt a player that played a few games, or a regular call up , border line player in the leauge I dont think its good to count them cause they are non NHL regulars. BTW I might have missed some players too.

you've gotta take into account the position of drafting :

im sorry to hurt your feelings. Everyone knows Toronto sucks at drafting. New JErsey and Ottawa have been drafting with later picks in the first round and are still one of the best drafting teams in the leauge. We do not have time to take into what account, for that team and this team and so for. So Calgary missed the playoffs 7 times in those 10 seasons. IN those 4 years, had a top 10 pick. 2 of them included a 11th pick, and their draft record still sucks. im only numbering how many full time NHLers each team have produced for the leauge. WE dont have time for crap stupid assesements like which team is drafting when. Just how many players each team produced.

That's really amazing. I've always held enormous respect for the Sens management and scouting, because they understand more than any other team how to build through the draft. It's too bad they can't seem to put it together in the playoffs. I think the Sens, assuming they keep one of Chara or Redden (Meszaros can step up to replace one...somewhat), will win a cup in the next 3-4 years. Goaltending is an issue.

[koeltrain]

I've been busy the past little while, but I like the discussion thus far.

Just like it is hard to compare someone drafting earlier to later, it is pretty hard to come up with criteria to base your judgement on. As long as the criteria is stated within your reasoning then I guess that is good enough (and stats always help, even though I am still too lazy to do that).

After looking things over Ottawa looks to be a pretty good drafting team indeed. Who is their head scout?

Well, I will come back later

 

[JimEIV]

[Stoneberg]

Leafs have 7
Adam Mair, Antropov, Brad Boyes, Mikael Tellqvist, Karel Pilar, Kyle Kellwood, Alexander Steen.

Wrong...Markov, Kaberle, Ponikarovski, Colaiacovo,Stajan,Kronwall, Kondratiev....also Tremblay has hundereds of games played in the NHL, not this season though. Missed quite a bit there. Although they still are one of the worst drafting teams for sure. Some years like 99 they got no NHL'ers out of the draft.

Psst, you have Pierre Dagenais on there twice

 

[Porn*]

agreed.. because detorit didnt have a first rounder for a long time, meanwhile bringing in 1 rookie at best per year.. but i wont stand up for them, there track record has been better so it seams lately but who knows

exactly... i must say though boston looks the best to me, given their positions.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

ok.. lets count 1995 draft to the 2005 draft...

I am including back up goalies. I do not include guys who play under 25 NHL games. I only did the best drating teams. not every team is listed here.

I am also not including players have did play games in the NHL prior to this year. EG one guy played in the 04 season as a full timer, but is not in the NHL this season.

New Jersey Devils have 13 players

New York Islanders have 11 players

Vancouver Canucks have 10 players, Peter Schaefar, Matt Cooke Bryan Allen Artem Chubarov Jarkko Ruutu , Daniel Sedin Henrik Sedin, R.J Umberger, Kevin Bieska, Ryan Kesler.

Ottawa Senators have 15 players.....

Sharks have 13....

Calgary Flames have 8....
Derek Morris, Steve Begin, Toni LYdman, Oleg Saprykin, Jarret Stoll, Chuck Kobasew, Dion Phaneuf, Kurtis Foster

Penguins have 11.

OIlers have 11.

Habs have 9

Leafs have 7
Adam Mair, Antropov, Brad Boyes, Mikael Tellqvist, Karel Pilar, Kyle Kellwood, Alexander Steen.

Flyers have 9, but in those 9 includes with later picks, the likes of Williams, Gagne, and Mike Richards.

AValanche have 14..

Sabres have 13...

Red Wings have 4..... Jiri Ficher, Nik Krownwall, Datsyuik and Zetterberg within the past 10 draft years.


as i was looking through this, Ottawa sees to have drafted the best players. For a team that is always picking later in the 1st round, players include, Havlat, Volchenkov, MIke Ficher, Patrick Eaves, Meszarous, TEam Gleason, the list goes on. Next up I thought SAn Jose awesome picking up players from the draft.

Calgary has the worst drafting record. 7 of those years, they miss the playoffs, 4 of them top 10 pick, and they still helped the leauge with 8 PLayers.

Leafs is the worst drafting team in the Leauge Nuff said. go to hockeydb and see for yourself.

You forgot Matt Stajan, Danny Markov, Carlo Colaiacovo, Johnathan Hedstrom, Alexie Ponikarovsky and Tomas Kaberle that brings the Leafs total to 13
