Jamie Benn Quickly Cementing Legacy With Dallas Stars

It is unsure whether the Dallas Stars knew exactly what they were getting into when they drafted Canadian forward Jamie Benn in the fifth round of the 2007 NHL Draft.

The 129th overall pick ended up being a complete steal. Eight years later, Benn is the only drafted member of the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds that has made an NHL All Star Team and been named an All Star. The Stars picked Colton Sceviour in the fourth round of the draft and even spent the 128th pick on Austin Smith, who is not even on the team anymore.
