It is probably not be fair to release a ranking system of based on how great a player was for a team before that player’s career is over. After all, you wouldn’t walk out of the middle of Rogue One and then write 3,000 words about where it ranks among the other film in the Star Wars canon, would you?*
In sports, as in life, things aren’t always fair. So, even though his career is not even halfway over, I will rank where Steven Stamkos falls among the all-time first round picks for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Over the course of their existence the Lightning have had 22 first round picks.
