A while back, I saw a comment about how bad the 1999 NHL draft class turned out to be. I had to take a look at the class and see how the Tampa Bay Lightning did. With Patrik Stefan and the Sedin twins leading the way, the 1999 draft class was thought to be a deep class with game-changing talent at the time.
The Lightning actually owned the first-overall pick in the draft, but traded it to the Vancouver Canucks as the Canucks were maneuvering to take both Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin (who incidentally have just announced they will retire after this season).
