I liked this stat, I also looked how many 1st won with a different team. Interestingly enough, there were 4, and all of them involved an Alberta team.
Joe Murphy with the Oilers.
Rob Ramage with the Flames
Rick Green and Bobby Smith with the 86 Canadians
about 1/4 1st overall picks have ever one the Stanley cup. So if the Oilers can just win this years draft lotto, the odds are finally in their favour.
