What Happened To Every #1 Pick From the 2010's

Another record Jack Hughes holds is the longest single shift time at 6 minutes and 2 seconds

Everyone's like you gotta tank and rebuild to get a no.1 pick 😂 how well has that worked out for Edmonton, four 1st overall picks and squat 😮

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

The MVP season Hall had for the devil's was unreal, his skating, how forceful and powerful he was, he was just a killer.

[@DantesTyphoon]

Oilers had a top 5 pick from 2010-2016 (one of those was a 7th I think). Thats just interesting to me.

[@premiumnapping5627]

And they still suck

[@aarongriffin4901]

It was clearly set up. They had 3 straight #1 picks. Then two years and another. 4 #1 picks in 6 years...

[@aarongriffin4901]

3 of those were draft lottery wins... The Sabres also lost back to back lotteries in 2014 and 2015. Best odds and Florida had second best odds in 14. Best odds and Edmonton had the third best odds. Small market and terrible management got the commish to take their #1 picks

Man the oilers use to suck three first overall picks in three years

[@ulrichsuter3548]

There was a mistake in the Nico Hischier part - Nico is NOT the second Swiss-born player to become a Captain in the NHL. Mark Streit was Captain of the Islanders as the first Swiss-born player... said that Hischier only gets 1/3 of the coverage of Yakupov

[@JesusisKing1217]

1. Connor McDavid 2. Nathan McKinnon 3. Auston Matthews 4. Jack Hughes 5. Nico Hischier 6. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins 7. Taylor Hall 8. Aaron ekblad 9. Rasmus dahlin 10. Nail Yakupov

[@johnleak8396]

As a fan of the Oilers, since '77, I was hoping they wouldn't draft Yakupov. They wasted that pick on him. It was embarrassing.

[@KorVision]

anyone notice that he wrote nico heer as the marker

[@douglepong]

… that’s a lot Oilers on this list..

[@guillaumedelez]

You forgot Mark Streit who was the first swiss captain in the NHL

[@volh1volh195]

Interestingly, a year earlier at the 2011 draft, Edmonton had the opportunity to select Yakupov’s partner in the Russian national team, Nikita Kucherov. But even after choosing Nugent Hopkins, Edmonton did not pay attention to the Russian and chose Klefbom and Musil. As a result, Kucherov was drafted by Tampa Bay at number 58. If McDavid, Draisaitl and Kucherov were on the same team today, Edmonton would be the NHL's top pick for a decade, just like Gretzky's team was in the 1980s.

[@blowstuffup1]

Wouldn't happen in the cap era, Gretzky's team wouldn't exist by todays standards. They(Oilers) had like 4-6 100 + point players each season, had a very good depth. Also since enforcers have basically all but disappeared now, the 4th line would be a bit more expensive as well. Still a shame to see 4 first overall picks and 3rd overall(Draisaitl) and still not win a cup despite making game 7 in the finals against the Panthers. Todays Cup winners pretty much all have the same thing, not a huge amount of expensive players making room for more depth. Though teams have been trying lately to circumvent the cap, which needs to stop.

[@Guesswhothis12]

Your very underrated

[@st0rmchild]

You can just say "first round" or "second round". There's no point in saying "Western conference first round" etc. Only the third round has the conference names in the title.

[@mrgumdrops5]

And how is this offside but Cale makars goal in the playoffs wasn't. Draisaitl definitely had control of that puck. Absolutely bonkers from the old heads in Toronto.

[@DomAtaGlance]

So you basically just read each guys biography word for word off the teams websites.

[@xViperGTR]

It’s kinda cool how Taylor Hall now is the mentor for Connor Bedard in Chicago

[@imgladiquitdestiny2401]

I am very brutal, but I am also very fair. The McOilers remain the biggest bust in hockey history. More than the 2010-2020 leafs, who continue to choke to Boston/ overall playoff burnout. McDavid is proving to be a modern super star who won’t win a cup lmao

[@ScaryRevenant]

Amazing how many times Taylor hall has been traded

[@WaddickLawnCare]

Not really it’s only 4 times, Alex Galchenyuk has been traded 6 times and he was drafted two years later

[@ScaryRevenant]

@@WaddickLawnCare he’s not even the same level as Hall tho

[@WaddickLawnCare]

@@ScaryRevenant that has nothing to do with this and hall was traded once because he signed in buffalo on a 1 year deal once all other teams passed on him knowing buffalo sucks and would trade him at deadline and all they got was a 2nd round pick lol

[@jordans175]

Could be a personality issue. Google “Taylor Hall Reddit” and read how many negative interactions people have had with him in his early years. Obviously he could have matured since then, but it could be the reason that he’s been traded so many times. Who knows.

[@dennisschultz9180]

How many number-one picks overall did Edmonton have, then people say the fix was in when the Hawks got their second number-one overall ever.

[@wileysells1279]

I don't like the method to determine the order of top picks. The Oilers get too much love.

[@Phrish]

Oh don't get me started on Edmonton... whoopsiedoodle too late. I'll try to be somewhat respectful. The Oilers with their first overall pick year after year, always staying at the bottom of the league. The fanbase with their parties celebrating their new first overall pick year after year, chanting things like "fail for Nial!" The Oilers despite drafting all this elite talent year after year, and not getting within sniffing distance to the cup, even after trading these elite players, etc... I've disliked and resented Edmonton for this for many years. Many, many years. I think I might finally be getting over it, but the early 2000's were a bitter pill to swallow watching these shenanigans in Edmonton.

[@dennisfontler7443]

This is a fun thought experiment but flawed since so many other things need to happen. Turco could have saved the breakaway, the Oilers could have tied the next game.. it's an 82 game season!

@joshletourneau1280 and Edmonton fans aren't delusional about cup aspirations? Lol gtfo here you're exactly the type of idiot who groups the few fans hes knows into a whole and paints his own personal narrative as some sort of fact.

Geez. I was *so* close to commenting to Habs Digest ahead of this game that Thomas and Kyrou were going to beat us tonight. And sure enough, they were in on 5 of their 6 goals to kill us. And as a single father who raised two daughters alone, it pi**es me off to no end that these guys are even allowed to play in the NHL. If you don't know what I mean, look into the investigation about the 2018 World Junior Team. When there is STILL uncertainty about whether Logan Mailloux might be eligible to play in the NHL, the fact that Thomas and Kyrou are free to play and collect huge salaries is just disgusting. But this is what the NHL does. The league has ZERO integrity. They have swept the entire 2018 Junior Team scandal under the rug. Just like they did nothing about the Lighning winning two Cups by circumventing the salary cap, and did nothing to sanction Kucherov after he went out and got t-shirts made to publicly flaunt the fact that they knew very well they were cheating, and planned it that way! Just like they did nothing about the Leafs flagrantly throwing games to be able to draft Matthews. And did nothing when Matthews himself got together with a couple of goon buddies and terrorized a lone female security guard, committing indecent exposure as part of it. But no sanction whatsoever. Just like they did nothing to sanction the players who went against the League's own supposed "hockey is for everyone" slogan and refused to wear their teams' pride-themed jerseys. Instead the NHL did the REVERSE, and banned theme nights altogether! All the League really cares about is making money. Period. So Thomas and Kyrou are *still* free to play, because the NHL isn't about to upset an influential franchise like the Blues. Or the Lighning. Or the Leafs. It's a FARCE!

[@dougosullivan7111]

Mack only has a cup because Colorado circumvented the cap with Landeskog. They sent him for knee surgery the day of the deadline and started loading up on salary before landy was even on the opporating table, then he was back game one rd one putting up a point a game. Unfortunately Mack is one of those fake champions who plays for a team that may or may not have faked a knee surgery to purchase a cup

[@TRB1497]

Faked a knee injury that has kept him off the ice for 2 full seasons? Brutal take. The Lightning did the same thing the year before with Stamkos. Just because the rules are flawed doesn't make a cup less deserved. Makar, MacKinnon and Rantenan carried the Avs to their cup. Landy was still playing on a bum knee, he didn't have that much of an impact on their run as the other 3 big boys.
