Fox and mcavoy should both be ahead of weegar and klingberg. Brayden point at center for sure.

Seems way too early to put Pinard on this list after 14 games shooting at 32%

He's not much of a guy these days, but Ottawa got multiple 20 goal seasons and a couple of big playoff goals out of Ryan Dzingel. Huge steal at 204th overall in the 7th round. He was a really good player for a bit.

That's definitely fair, however just getting a guy play NHL games from the 7th round is a pretty good win in of itself.

If we are talking diamonds in the rough then its definitely XHEKAJ but he wasnt drafted.

Gallagher should be here as well drafter 147th OVA in the 5th round with multiple 30 goal seasons. He may be done or declining now but was still a steal in the 2010 draft.

Description says 2010 draft to present and Gally was drafted in the 2010 draft, so should be on the list

Or 6th round pick and waivers legend Paul Byron. It's really unfortunate how his body broke down over the last few years. He was such a terrific player during his time in MTL and I'll never forget his PK exploits nor his game 7 winner against Toronto in 2021. I'd take prime Byron on my team any day.

then the sharks Labanc & Demello should be considered here. also Barclays Goodrow as an undrafted FA was a steal as well.
