Uncover the Shocking Draft Blunders and Hidden Gems Unveiled for Every NHL Team This Decade
Worst: Urho Vaakanainen
Vaakanainen became a third-pair depth NHL defenseman. The Bruins should have gotten a higher-impact player at No. 18 in 2017. Robert Thomas was drafted two slots later. — Fluto Shinzawa
Buffalo Sabres
Best: Brandon Hagel
The Sabres have hit on some talent at the top of the draft, but the best value pick the franchise has made this decade is finding Hagel in the sixth round of the 2016 draft. Of course, the Sabres botched it by not signing him to an entry-level contract and letting him walk. He’s since become a 90-point player for the Lightning and was on Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off.
