Torontos last number one pick was Matthew's, so it's not like it's an guaranteed ticket to success.

Habs 1st overall pick since 1980 :

Doug Wickenheiser
Juraf Slafkovsky

Juraf might be great but he's no generational talent. Wickenheiser was not great.

Alexander Ovechkin -_-

So, you know, sometimes it works out.

Sometimes the 1OA is truely a generational player.  Most of the time it's a lottery roll.  The way I look at it, the higher the draft pick the higher the chance of impact player.  Teams have too much analytics and experience now days not to value those players highly for no reason.  They are still 17/18 though and many things can change.

SJ has now moved up in 3/4 last draft years and will be assembling a shocking roster soon.

Yeah.

Nicknamed "Sid the Kid" and dubbed "The Next One", he was selected first overall by the Penguins in the 2005 NHL entry draft.

Meh not our year, we had a good run recently.  Wished the Americans didn't win during Trump tenure though.

The World Cup?

Oh yeah, that thing that is played during the NHL playoffs.

Most people really don't care about this tournament over here.

Most of the top NHL players aren't usually going as it's during the playoffs.

So they show up once their team is out of the play-offs?  :P

Which is exactly why the tournament is not watched here. Why would someone watch a tournament that features the players that were not good enough to continue on in the NHL playoffs?

It would be like watching a lower league soccer game.
