Top players taken in our waiver draft?

[CAM]

I think we have discussed this off and on before but have we ever compiled a complete list or voted on rankings?

Maybe people can post who they have taken in waiver drafts that now have value(³) and where they selected them.

I have only done one pick and it was Danny Dekeyser at 7th overall. If people can post i will update OP with the players.

³ - "Waiver drafted players that are presently in the NHL"

Danny Dekeyser - 7th
Josh Jooris - 9th
Leo Komarov - 3b
Frederik Andersen 4th
Torey Krug - 9th
Andrej Sustr - 17th
Antti Raanta
Michael Raffl
Tyler Johnson - 17th
Nate Schmidt
Jaromir Jagr - 1st
Tommy Wingels - 16th
Joe Vitale - 37th
J.T. Brown - 2nd
Pierre-Edouard Bellemare - 12th
Mats Zuccarello - 3rd
Joonas Kemppainen - 9th
Matt Read - 14th

josh jooris - 9th

that "now have value" premise cuts a few players that had value and brought back something that still has value

[Mike]

2012-2013 I had a good waiver draft

- 1 (Damien Brunner)
- 3b (Leo Komarov)
- 4 (Frederik Andersen)
- 9 (Torey Krug)
- 17 (Andrej Sustr)

no one yet of any value

I've only drafted 3 via waiver draft. (2 NHL GP total)

[Sensfanjosh]

I've had limited success, the only names I'd mention are

Antti Raanta
Michael Raffl
Borna Rendulic
Casey Bailey

and the last two are in the AHL still.

Okay, how about we make it:

"Waiver drafted players that are presently in the NHL"

[Lee]

The answer to this question is Tyler Johnson by me at 17th overall.

[CAM]

We can get a good list in OP then maybe do some rankings....

Nice list, wanna highlight who is in NHL and who you feel has present "value"?

[Mike]

If you're looking for present value I'd remove Brunner from that list.

[Arian The Insider]

I took Nate Schmidt one time

[Shoalzie]

Jaromir Jagr was a waiver pick when he came back to the NHL. I've had moderate success with the draft...I'll scare up a list of notables I've drafted.

Okay, how about we make it:

"Waiver drafted players that are presently in the NHL"

doesn't change anything for that matter.. I'll use Fasth as an example.
Selected at #6 in 2012, he is not in the NHL anymore, but was traded in 2013 when still was, and brought back S.Mason and a 1st:

Bumpity bump for fun activity!!!

[kyuss]

keeping it at players still in North America:

Zuccarello 3rd overall in 2010 (behind Bobby Butler and Casey Wellman. Had to trade Colby Armstrong to get that pick).
Kemppainen 9th overall this past Summer.

Still hoping #11 Rafael Diaz (2011), #14 Marek Mazanec & #16 Christian Folin (2013) , #11 Tomas Nosek (2014) will soon be considered NHLers again.

[Lee]

Diaz already signed for next year over seas.

[kyuss]

NHL season is not over yet!

[Shoalzie]

My best picks:
2010 (1:16) Tommy Wingels
2011 (2:37) Joe Vitale
2012 (1:2) J.T. Brown
2014 (1:12) Pierre-Edouard Bellemare

I know 3rd and 4th line talent when I see it.
