I was going to say Cliff Fletcher and the gang made some good picks in the later round. Names stuck in my mind are Theo Fleury(8th), Hakan Loob(9th), Gary Suter(9th), Sergei Makarov(12th) are great picks. Jiri Hrdina(8th) and German Titov(10th) was not too shabby. I am sure Makarov and Hrdina would have gone a lot earlier if the Russians and Czech players are free to play in the NHL.
As for the other teams, Steve Larmer(Chicago), Luc Robitaille(LA) might be right up there as one the best late round picks in NHL history.
