When was the last time a team drafted 5 of their top prospects in one draft?

[IceManCat]

2010 Florida


Gudbranson
Bjugstad
Howden
Petrovic
Mcfarland

[DBU]

It's definitely not the best, but the Flames got Nemisz, Wahl, Bouma, and Brodie from the 2008 draft. Bouma and Brodie are basically mainstays in the lineup now, Nemisz will be up next year, and we're holding out hope for Wahl.

[kaiser matias]

Not prospects, but the Canucks had several players from the first round of the 1999 draft together at once:

Sedins
Kris Beech
Taylor Pyatt
Maxime Ouellet

Five players from the same first round is pretty good, unless of course when its the first round of the 1999 draft. What a terrible year that was.

[Nicko999]

Habs 2007 draft

McDonagh
Pacioretty
Subban
Weber

It doesn't really get better than that.

Or 1998

Ribeiro
Ryder
Markov
Beauchemin

[Stick To Your Guns]

2009 draft for Sens

Cowen, Lehner, Silverberg, Hoffman,

2008

Karlsson, Wiercioch, Smith, Petersson, Borowiecki

Colborne came over in the Kaberle trade..

[Mr Forever]

Edmonton got Hall, Pitlick, Marincin and Hamilton in one draft and they're all considered top 10 prospects, but that's nowhere near close to all top 5 in one draft.

2 out of those 4, the Leafs have acquired from a trade

Colborne for Kaberle

Gardiner and Lupul for Beauchemin

Schenn and Blacker were drafted by the Leafs

[Gnashville]

2009 Predators draft
11 1 Ryan Ellis
41 2 Zach Budish
42 2 Charles-Olivier Roussel
70 3 Taylor Beck
72 3 Michael Latta
98 4 Craig Smith
102 4 Mattias Ekholm
110 4 Nick Oliver
132 5 Gabriel Bourque
192 7 Cam Reid

Bolded players have already played for the Predators. 3 are on the current roster with Ekholm in the SEL
Italics are top 10 prospects for the team

What is with including players you drafted for?

[gvkmedia]

2006
Boston gets:
Phil Kessel turns into > Seguin, Hamiltion, Knight
Milan Lucic
Brad Marchand

How's that?
4 Stars - not just prospects all the product of 1 draft - sort of.

Well - 3 stars - 1 likely star - 1 highly touted prospect.

I'm not sure trading counts in this thread.

[gojackets1]

Columbus drafted Goloubef, Kubalik, Calvert, and Atkinson in 2008. All will be solid NHLers and have already played in the NHL. Atkinson has star potential, great 6th round pick.

If trading counted then the Nordiques/Avs win everything

[8BostonRocker24]

Phil Kessel, C - 1st round, (5th overall)
Yuri Alexandrov, D - 2nd round, (37th overall)

Brad Marchand, C - 3rd round, (71st overall)
Andrew Bodnarchuk, D - 5th round (128th overall)

Except I'm done with Adam already


Or as I call him ... Lou Kattum

[thestonedkoala]

Hmmm, my mistake, I put drafted...when Coyle was traded for. Then again Gustafsson could be considered a top 10 player now.
