Can't believe that Mike Bossy, Al MacInnis and Joe Sakic where all drafted 15th over all. 14 other teams sure kicked themselves later.

    Matthew,

    I love looking back at those types of draft lists. They should do one for all the rounds or at least through the current 7. I know of some great sleeper picks including from friend King Henrik.

    I wish collecting unopened baseball wasn't so expensive as I'd love to collect some unopened hockey too.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Rick Tocchet was taken in the 7th round. Patrick Roy was taken in the 3rd round. Luc Robitaille was taken in the 9th round.
    Ron Hextall was drafted in the 6th round.

    Luc Robitaille was drafted by the Kings in the ninth round (171st overall) of the 1984 NHL Entry Draft.

    Ed Belfour, Dino Ciccarelli, Curtis Joseph, Joe Mullen, Adam Oates, Peter Stastny, Martin St. Louis, Dan Boyle, Brian Rafalski, and Nicklas Backstrom think that's nothing. (All were undrafted).

    And then there's 11th overall where Iginla (a star but hardly an all-time great) is the top pick ahead of..........Mike Sillinger and Brian Rolston. Wow.

    I'm surprised by 20, which also features the Big Bird and Goulet in addition to Brodeur.
