Loob, Fleury, Gaudreau, Suter ... all of them.
Well no, there's (to me at least) a difference between a researched and scouted late-round find that wasn't on anyone's radar, and the well-known son of a legendary hockey player who fell to the bottom of the draft because he was out of shape and didn't really show any commitment to the sport. We even shipped him off to STL halfway into his rookie season.

Don't get me wrong, Hull wasn't doing himself any favours with his lack of motivation along the way...
