The back end of the NHL draft's first round has unearthed some gems over the past decade.

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak, who co-leads the NHL with 48 goals, went 25th overall in the 2014 draft. No one in his draft class has scored more goals.

Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov, who scored 27 goals for the 2017-18 Stanley Cup champion Caps, was selected 26th overall in 2010. And the New York Islanders' Brock Nelson, who has scored 19 or more goals in each of his past six seasons, went 30th overall in 2010.
