The 2003 draft there were only 4 forwards that played more than 30 NHL games in their draft year: Eric Staal #2 81 games 31 pts, Horton #3 55 games 22 pts, Zherdev #4 55 games 31 pts, Dustin Brown #13 31 games 5 pts.
Then because of the lock out lost season the rest of them went back to junior for another year.... Drafted - 2 more years of junior and then on to the NHL.
2013 has an early lead on being the best draft ever
