I didn't list Seguin because he wasn't a rebuild pick. Boston was 14th in the NHL in 2009-10 and actually made the playoffs. The Seguin pick was acquired in the Kessel trade if I'm not mistaken(Seguin + D. Hamilton). I didn't list guys like Sergechev(9th) for TBL, because he was acquired for a rebuild asset in Drouin(3rd), so I just concentrated on the draft side.
Boston actually had several top 10 picks outside the ones I listed, I just didn't think they fit this rebuild/retool.
95 9th overall - McLaren
96 8th overall - Aitken(bust)
97 1st overall - Thornton
00 7th overall - Jonsson(bust)
