And on the flip side, very few Forwards taken 1st overall have been busts in that time frame...Daigle and Stefan, and thats about it. Most of the rest have not only become stars, but a lot of them have become superstars. At the end of the day not only are chances good that you have a fantastic player, you have a pretty huge trading chip as well... so even if you don't like a player, you will have the potential to get a big return on the trade market.
