There was some good players picked too, but a couple of misses. Lindros' career was cut short and hampered by concussion issues. Berard had the eye injury. Daigle had motivation injuries. Sundin played for the Leafs.
Nordiques picked 1st overall, three years in a row. 89, 90 & 91. They moved and won the Cup in 96. After they had traded all three players to help build a strong team. Lindros gave them Forsberg and a couple of key players to help them win.
For some players it doesn't reflect how good they are as a player and a team member but sometimes they just had bad luck to not be on a team who could build a championship.
89 - Sundin
90 - Nolan
91 - Lindros
92 - Hamrlik
93 - Daigle
94 - Jovanovski
95 - Berard
96 - Phillips
97 - Thornton
