I found it funny how Hughson and Simpson kept raving about the number of #1 overall picks in the game.
Well yeah, I would expect so...
The actually interesting stat would be the number of late picks that made it to the All-Star Game. Or undrafted players like Gio last year.

1st round: Malkin (2), Doughty (2), Hedman (2), Seguin (2), Laine (2), Toews (3), Seth Jones (4), Price (5), Suter (7), Okposo (7), Horvat (9), Carter (11), McDonagh (12), Fowler (12), Dubnyk (14), Karlsson (15), Tarasenko (16), Burns (20), Rask (21), Kesler (23)
2nd round: Faulk (37), Subban (43), Weber (49), Crawford (52), Keith (54), Kucherov (58), Simmonds (61)
3rd round: Trocheck (64), Marchand (71), Nielsen (87)
