I now challenge you to do the same for the 1990 Draft
I Challenge you guys to redraft the players selected in the 1st round of the 1990 NHL Draft as you feel fit. Who will you pick 1st? 2nd? 3rd Overall? Your choice. Let's assume you are drafting the "best overall player" and not drafting based on the team needs.
This draft is one of my personal favourites EVER

Pretty odd to see a 1st overall pick get the title of "most underrated" but I feel it's warranted because a lot of people crapped on him for not putting up any 90 point seasons. But he became an awesome two-way centerman and was a big part of a famous checking like with Scott Thornton and Niklas Sundstrom that helped make the Sharks a very relevant team in the NHL.
I was just about to post in the old re-do draft thread that you should do another of these, awesome! These are my favorite. I'll put mine up after the game.
