Teams with the best and worst players who were 1st round picks

[PsychoticHab]

Price, Drouin, Domi, Kotkaniemi, Suzuki, Poehling, Danault, and Armia.


Wow, this list is really all over the place.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Hughes
Hischier
McLeod
Zacha
Mueller
Zajac

Probably wouldn’t be ranked too high at this point.

Buffalo has Eichel, Mittelstadt, Skinner, Risto, Dahlin, Johansson, Reinhart, Tage Thompson, Girgenson, Okposo, Bogosian, and Lazar. I'd put that closer to the bottom of teams

Jokiharju

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings are past their expiry date, but they had put together a pretty good haul at one point with the 2008 NHL all star team featuring at times Iginla, LeCavalier, Gaborik, Richards, Carter, etc...

But now, Doughty, Kopitar, Brown, Carter, Kempe, Campbell, Forbort. That's it. Gross. Luckily some good ones will arrive soon

 

[The Pale King]

The best: Crosby
The worst: Johnson

But can you imagine if Crosby's nickname game was on the same level as JMFJ's though?

Like the past 14 seasons his household name was just SMFC? In papers and on Sportsnet highlight reels. Pierre just dropping F-bombs, left and right. The Golden Goal replays featuring a huge elongated BLEEP. Underprivledged children with SMFC 87 on their off-brand Peterborough Pangolins jerseys.

But instead we're stuck with JMFJ and the entirely pedestrian Sid the Kid. I blame Mario and Bettman.

 

[Just Linda]

Jokiharju

Neat. So 13 eh? That's got to be the most

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Calgary has a decent group.

Tkachuk, Monahan, Lindholm, Backlund, Frolik, Hanifin, Valimaki, Bennett, Jankowski.

But a lot of Calgary's best players are undrafted. Giordano, Rittich, Ryan, Talbot

Don't disrespect Kovalchuk like that.
