Who was the last player drafted as a defenseman by an NHL team to play his professional career (and not for purposes of getting an extra forward/defenseman into the lineup)?
The thing is, while it has happened, it is so rare, and it has been so long since a player made the transition successfully that I don't think it can be considered a viable option. There is a good reason why it doesn't happen anymore.
