Bernie Federko just gave Blues fans a new reason to brag

Who's the best No. 7 pick in NHL history from 1967-onward? If you ask ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, it's Bernie Federko. Wyshynski concocted a list of the best draft pick at every slot from No. 1 overall to No. 224, and the legendary Federko beat out his competition.

Federko never won a major award, but he's in the Hall of Fame, nonetheless. Still, he played 13 of his 14 seasons with the Blues, and was one of the faces of the franchise during the 1980s.

He hit the century mark in points on four different occasions, with his best season coming in 1983-84, when he snagged 107 points, 41 goals, and 66 assists.
