Alex Smirnov: 52 games
Ron Hansey: 1132 games
Vaclav Nedorost: 99 games
Artem Kryukov: 0 games
Marcel Hossa: 237 games
Alexei Mikhnov: 2 games
Even the two picks before:
7: Lars Jonsson: 8 games
8: Nikit Alexeev: 159 games
So from picks 8 - 17 basically there was one NHLer selected in Hainsey.
That's a brutal draft. Awful. So even if he had not picked Krahn, it was unlikely that he would have picked someone meaningful.

Yeah, I noticed that too. No disrespect to Scott Hartnell, but when you do a redraft and he's a top 5 pick, and the new #1 OA was a 7th rounder it is not a good draft lol
