Plus Allan Rourke, Staffan Kronwall and Maxim Kondratiev that brings the total to 18.
AgentNaslund obviously shouldn't have dared us to look at hockeydb.com.

And I hope that we can revisit this after next season.

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 state how your only doing the best drafting teams and then you go on and put the Leafs on the list. But then at the bottom you say the Leafs are the worst drafting team. The weed in Vancouver must be really strong.

As I said, how are we defining "best drafting record"?

Give me a set of criteria, I'll see what the record shows has happened.

Some of this teams weren't even in the NHL in 1985, like Columbus, Nashville and Atlanta.

That's why the're ranked on the basis of "percentage of picks making it to the NHL" instead of on absolute numbers. But as I said before, players picked in 2001 who haven't made the NHL probably won't at this point (there may be a few who still do, but not that many more - 5, maybe 10) so we can start looking at the success rates for that year.

Of course, if you'd like to see the numbers for players who play at least 25 games, 50 games, whatever, I can supply those as well.
