Thanks to the second edition of this year’s NHL Draft Lottery, we finally know who’s going to be selecting first overall and within the top 10 in this year’s draft.

Some of the teams picking within the top 10 have been there before and some of them have used the pick wisely, but some of the picks didn’t exactly work out as planned.

The New York Rangers have had plenty of picks within the top 10 over the years, but they’ve only ever had the first overall pick once and it was back in 1965. With the first pick in the 1965 NHL Amateur Draft, the Rangers selected Andre Veilleux, who never went on to play I the NHL. However, in the Rangers’ defence, there were only 11 total picks made in the draft and only two of the players suited up in the NHL.

This is the fourth time the Los Angeles Kings have owned the second overall pick in the NHL Draft and two of the three picks they’ve made went on to play in at least one NHL All-Star Game. The last time the Kings owned the second overall pick was 2008 when they selected Drew Doughty. As we all know, it turned out to be a pretty good pick.

The Ottawa Senators have only had the third overall pick one other time in franchise history and it was back in 1994. With the third pick in the 1994 NHL Draft, the Sens selected Radek Bonk, who went on to play 689 of his 969 NHL games in a Senators jersey and scored 152 goals and 399 points in his 10 seasons in Ottawa.

The Detroit Red Wings haven’t owned the fourth overall pick in the NHL Draft since 1983 and they absolutely nailed it with their pick back then. While the Red Wings are going to miss out on Alexis Lafreniere after one of the worst seasons in NHL history, they won’t be upset if this fourth overall pick ends up like Steve Yzerman, the last player the franchise selected fourth overall in a draft. Yzerman played all 1,514 of his NHL games in a Red Wings jersey and won three Stanley Cups as a player.
 

Franchise First.
 

The Ottawa Senators have two picks within the top five this year, and it will be the first time in franchise history they make a selection at fifth overall.

The last player the Anaheim Ducks selected with the sixth overall pick is still with the team. In 2012 the Ducks selected Hampus Lindholm, who has played 502 games in a Ducks jersey since then.
 

Another Franchise First.
 

Like the Ottawa Senators with the fifth overall pick, this is a franchise first for the New Jersey Devils, who own the seventh overall pick for the first time in their franchise’s existence.

The Buffalo Sabres owned the eighth overall pick in back to back years in 2016 (Alexander Nylander) and 2017 (Casey Mittelstadt), and also owned it in 2013 (Rasmus Ristolainen). Surprisingly, those are the only three times they’ve ever had the eighth overall pick.

This is the third time in franchise history the Minnesota Wild will be selecting ninth overall in the draft. The last time they selected ninth they used the pick to take Mikael Granlund, who is no longer with the club.

The last time the new-look Winnipeg Jets owned the 10th overall pick in the draft they were still in Atlanta and they used the pick to select Boris Valabik; who played just 80 NHL games over three seasons. However, the last time there was a Winnipeg Jets logo sitting in the 10th overall spot on the draft board the franchise took Teemu Selanne, and that worked out pretty well.
