As the 2020 NHL Entry Draft approaches, we decided to examine each team’s best and worst pick since the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. The biggest boom is a player that had the best value relative to where they were selected. Meaning, no one in the first round will be considered a team’s best value pick. However, the biggest bust picks will almost always be in the first round. We will examine each player, why they were picked where they were, and what their NHL career was like. Today, we look at the Florida Panthers draft, and their biggest boom and bust.

Florida Panthers Biggest Draft Boom and Bust Since 2000
Here is a taste with one of the honourable mentions.
Another player who was unable to adjust to the NHL was forward Quinton Howden. After three World Junior Championship appearances and stellar numbers in the WHL. Howden was drafted by the Panthers 25th overall in 2010 before making the jump to the pros. Howden recorded 239 points in 244 games, showing real promise for the next level. He was never able to get over the hump. In 97 games, Howden recorded 17 points total while playing for the Panthers and Jets.
After battling in the minors for a few years he still was unable to make a real impact. Howden has found himself in the KHL, hoping to be able to make an impact and maybe one day return to North America. With some unlucky picks in the past, the more recent Florida Panthers draft shows many signs of good things to come in Sunrise, Florida.
