2008 - Selected Hodgson 10th overall, Myers selected 12th, (Karlsson selected 15th)
2009 - Selected Schroeder 22nd overall, Johanson selected 24th
2010 - No first round pick
2011 - Selected Jensen 29th overall, Rakell selected 30th
2012 - Selected Gaunce 26th overall, Skjei selected 28th
2013 - Selected Shinkaruk 24th overall, Theodore selected 26th
2014 - Selected Virtanen 6th overall, Nylander selected 8th overall, Ehlers selected 9th overall
2014 - Selected McCann 24th overall, Pastrnak selected 25th overall
2016 - Selected Juolevi 5th overall, Tkachuk selected 6th overall, Keller selected 7th overall

Pretty much they missed the mark on everyone but Horvat and Boeser in that time.

You can pretty much do that with every team, as no team consistently picks the best player available (using hindsight).
