Fun fact with Hasek: he was left unprotected for the 1993 expansion draft and could have been taken by either the Anaheim Mighty Ducks or Florida Panthers. Both teams passed on him.
Datsyuk is my favorite player ever, he was so good, I still find it so funny that he thought his friend was messing with him when he was told he got drafted, so insane to think about
Gosh, when I think about some of the steals just the Red Wings got. Lidstrom in the middle of the 3rd round. Fedorov in the 4th. Zetterberg at 210th in the 7th round.
I might be partial but Pekka Rinne being selected almost dead last in his draft is insane as he was the backbone of a franchise that struggled for so long but was always a defensive powerhouse mainly because he was always solid. He's for sure a future hall of famer and worked his way up to be the winingest finnish goaltender to ever play the game.
They were okay before he got there but he made them contenders. They steadily increased from there first season every year getting a bit better & better.
He is still the best player to ever play for them,maybe Saros will claim that spot one day if he keeps up his stellar play so far through his career or even improves,i am sure he will win the vezina at some point at least once,and teams that did not want him because of his size will regret it for a long time,hopefully he has proven that goalies under 6 feet can be franchise level goalies and other great undersized goalies will be judged by talent and not by size
@@christopherengel7436 And now they have another vezina caliber goalie in Saros,the Preds do well with finnish goalies and maybe they will make Lankinen another win for the franchise
No mention of Patric Hornqvist? That guy literally the last pick of the draft and become such a solid top 6 winger. Pens won 2 stanley cups with the first and last pick player of the same draft...
Can't highlight every single draft steal ever or the video would be titled: "EVERY Draft Steal in NHL History" haha. But yeah he was a steal quite literally
If you wanna talk about a goalie that was good that got picked in a picm that doesnt exist anymore, halak was taken 272nd overall, def not the best but a good overall goalie
My best Doug Gilmore memory was during a broadcast from Detroit. They were talking about the new glass mics bringing "the sounds of the game". It was the first game they were being used. At some point there was a stoppage in play behind the net and the mics kicked in. Not only could you see Gerard Gallant yelling at Golmore but you could now here him too. ""Gilmore you little c*cksicker" was clearly heard from Gallant. That was the last game those mics were used.
It wasn't that nobody wanted Datsyuk. It was that he played in such a remote part of Russia that very few people knew about him. As it happens the Redwings scout that found Datsyuk wasn't even there to see him specifically. He was so impressed during that game that Datsyuk had the puck on his stick every time he was on the ice he talked him up to the Redwings draft staff. The scout himself almost didn't make it the the game as there was a serious storm just before his flight.
@@jonesk52 Zetterberg didn't debut for the Wings until the year after the 01-02 cup run. The line with Devereaux was dubbed during Hulls initial season.
In the summer of 85' I was in London and met a bartender at my hotel who was from Quebec. The talk turned to hockey and I mentioned I played some hockey there.When he asked what I played I told him I was a goaltender.His eyes lit up as he told me his friend was going to be the next great goalie for Montreal and his name was Patrick Roy and explained the correct pronunciation.Turned out he wasn't just talking.
Definitely need a part 2. Zetterberg, Dave Taylor, Alffy, Theo, Pavelski, Kipper! Nice video. Always fun to watch. And always put together well. Nice job bro. Keep it up!
I mean I feel like Thomas really only had like 2 good seasons. I'll give you 3 seasons. And yeah he won a cup but he also had a heck of a team in front of him. I wouldn't count Thomas imo. Kipper was even a stretch for me. Lol.
What about best non-drafted players? Adam Oates, Ed Belfour, St.Louis, Duchesne, Cujo, Rafalski, The Bread Man, and of course the greatest NHL player never drafted..... Gretzky!
Always felt the "Gretzky never being drafted" part is always a cop out because he was already signed by the WHA before he was draft eligible and the NHL had a rule that you couldn't play prior to age 20. So while he wasn't drafted, it's not because NHL teams didn't want him.
Damn ive gotten stuck watching aaaaaall your old videos up to today, think ive gone around 20 videos today. Keep it up man your hella good to listen to!
Datsyuk was put with Hull to help Hull's game. Zetterberg was also a steal. Lots of Europeans & Russians fell far in the draft for these reasons. Hasek was also pretty unorthodox in his play. Edmonton drafted beyond excellent. You have the greatest player of all time and surround him with Hull of Famers. Gilmour was 5'9" & 160 pounds when he was young. Played like 6'2" & 210 though.
2010 draft, 178th overall in the 6th round by Ottawa! Mark Stone arguably one of the best 2 way forwards in the league today! Just my opinion and I'm a Hawks fan!!
Funny how things came full circle for Hull and Robitaille on that 2002 Red Wings team. Glad you mentioned them. Also, is it me or do we see a large group of goalies become "steals" in later rounds? I feel like most early round goalies don't do so well, except for certain ones like Fleury or DiPie...oh wait.
As a wings fan I’m just glad at least all Detroit teams have had all time greats at one point or another, and they made they’re legacies with us, the newest being our boy Miguel Cabrera
In '93 the penalty for cutting someone with a high stick was a game misconduct. Gretzky should have been out of the game! It happened to Bure in the '94 finals vs the Rangers (game 3, maybe?). The rule changed to double minor the following season.
Before Lidstrom was drafted the Redwings staff was not even allowed to talk about him using his name. They were afraid that people might over hear and draw attention to Lidstrom. He was not on a lot of other team's radar at the time.
Then the voice track describes Hull in Calgary & St. Louis but we never see either. Editing video may not be your strength. And it starts with locating the archive video that you will be referencing in the script. Otherwise, you are just confusing viewers with mismatched track & b-roll for 10 minutes.
Now the reason WHY the Hawks traded Hasek is it's own video... It was very possible if the Hawks coughed up $5,000,000 then Hasek would have stayed a Hawk - not only that but the Hawks win the Eric Lindros sweepstakes... The truth is that the Hawks could have been a dynasty in the 90's and the only reason why they weren't was because $5 million dollars and a terrible greedy owner. And few even know this... And there is no "if's" that would have happened - I don't know about the dynasty part but Hasek and Lindros absolutely.
dont hold me to it. But i think the Hull story. His draft stock fell because He didnt make the U18 or U21 World Junior Canada team......and having a bad attitude....he opted to play for Team USA......and then after that he just had a chip on his shoulder and didnt want to play for team canada, or in a canadian market. Hence why he always played for Team USA
How could you be a flames fan and not mention that Miikka kippursoff was 116th overall and Johnny gaudreau was drafted 104th overall (I’m from Calgary and I actually live about 20 minutes away from johnny’s appartment)

That's crazy
Kirill Kaprizov could become part of this group soon, he was a fifth round pick
Hell yeah
or mark stone
@@Jason-rk4nd mark stone was a 6th round pick. He is captain of Vegas now and almost brought home a cup. Definitely could be up here
Mark stone for sure, dude is easily a top 10 player right now
Stone is easily the best 2 way forward in the game in my opinion. Bergeron and O'Reilly, no thanks, I'd take Stone in a heartbeat.

True but today people do still go 199th overall

Ed Belfour was never drafted
Nick Lindstrom 53rd overall. Top 5 greatest d men all time! Should’ve been a first pick!
The smartest defenseman to ever lace em up, he made it look easy.
Lidstrom was amazing for us.
Detroit was a menace during that 89 draft, they got Lidstrom, Fedorov and Konstantinov, yeah on that single draft
I'm sooooo glad you mentioned Robitaille. I felt he was always underrated.

Boyd Devereaux? My memory is that Hull named that line after him and Datsyuk were combined with Henrik Zetterberg
@@jonesk52 Zetterberg didn't debut for the Wings until the year after the 01-02 cup run. The line with Devereaux was dubbed during Hulls initial season.

What’s funny is Hull, Lucky Luc, Hasek and Datsyuk won a Cup together in Detroit.

Gilmour also with Black hawks
Sergei Fedorov was one of the biggest draft steals by the Red Wings.
As a wings fan I’m just glad at least all Detroit teams have had all time greats at one point or another, and they made they’re legacies with us, the newest being our boy Miguel Cabrera
And the Habs pick for Roy was originally Winnipeg's.
Robert Picard to the Jets for their 3rd round pick (Roy).
Pavel Datsyuk is the best player I’ve ever seen
Peter Forsberg 🤔
King henrik gotta up there as one of the best aswell!
Datsyuk is a legend
Dougie Gilmour is definitely underrated, he was one tough sob.
Man, Rick Generete was an awesome announcer.
I could be wrong, but I thought Pavel BURE was also drafted 195th overall, or something to that effect, by the Canoooks.
In '93 the penalty for cutting someone with a high stick was a game misconduct. Gretzky should have been out of the game! It happened to Bure in the '94 finals vs the Rangers (game 3, maybe?). The rule changed to double minor the following season.
Glavine was a great pitcher. I watched so many of his starts on TBS
He and Maddux were great!!
Hasek was once traded for Stephane Beauregard to get around expansion draft rules.
Theo Fleury Pt 2
The magic man was my favorite wing growing up!!
He was a human highlight real!!
It's easy to forget that Lidstrom would fit into this category. Arguably the biggest steal of all time.
Before Lidstrom was drafted the Redwings staff was not even allowed to talk about him using his name. They were afraid that people might over hear and draw attention to Lidstrom. He was not on a lot of other team's radar at the time.
This video should be renamed to Cole Caufield.

I was really bummed when "Magic Man" went back to Russia to play.
Honorable mention: Pavol Demitra (RIP)
Hmm interesting bit about Tom Glavine. Reminds me of the Rockies drafting Russel Wilson but Wilson going for football instead.
Now Russ is a Yankee 😎
Same with the Detroit Tigers, whom drafted a Superbowl winning QB before the Lions ever did in Patrick Mahomes.
The Blackhawks had both Belfour and Hasek at the same time. Imagine if they would of kept Hasek they probably would of won in the early 90s
how does this player go that far in the draft, he could've been no.1 all day in any draft. Scouting fucked that up big time in 96
Datsyuk was BY FAR the most entertaining player to watch.
