Ahead of tonight's NHLDraftLottery, jbenny15 ranks the last 15 first-overall picks from generational talents to busts.
Hischier has yet to emerge as a dominant offensive force when compared with other recent top picks. The 20-year-old has only 37 goals and 99 points through his first 151 games, respectable numbers but far fewer than what his peers have produced. Hischier is still only 20 so the Devils can afford to be patient with him for a bit longer.Nugent-Hopkins has never emerged as a star player in Edmonton, especially relative to his No. 1-pick status.
The most telling stat of his career might be this: his teammate McDavid has recorded 10 fewer points than Nugent-Hopkins’ 382, in 252 fewer games. That’s disappointing for a spot in the draft that’s supposed to produce game-changing players.The only player on this list who didn’t break into the NHL the season after he was drafted, Johnson hasn’t lived up to his top-pick selection over his 11 seasons in the league.
