Where did he come from? 2014 Draft, 25th overall
Has he played in the NHL? Is that a joke? 178 GP, 61 G, 66 A, 127 PTS
Here we are: number 1.
We’ve gone through 24 other guys, from fringe defense prospects to exciting, NHL-caliber scorers, but you knew we were going to end at Yung Dave this entire time.
David Pastrnak was viewed as a longer-term pick when Peter Chiarelli (thanks, Pete) took him late in the first round in 2014.
He had potential, sure. Hell, we loved him here from the first time we saw his Swedish Cribs special.
