Re-drafting the top 10 picks of every NHL draft from 2010-2019: A decade of selection do-overs

If there's one thing NHL scouts hate, it's re-drafts. The reverse engineering and 20-20 hindsight make it all too easy for us to ask "What if?" and point out where everyone went wrong in evaluations. But unfortunately for those scouts, that's also what makes re-drafts fun exercises. There is no magic formula for teams to draft perfectly. They don't have a crystal ball, and there always wll be misses. Even so, we've seen fewer and fewer glaring mistakes in the first round of the annual NHL draft. Franchises might not get full value, but more often than not, they are drafting everyday NHLers on Day 1. When we apply what we know today to the past 10 draft classes, we can paint a unique picture of each group. We revisited the top 10 picks of those draft classes, from 2010 to 2019, and reassigned picks. Some still are no-brainers today just as they were at the time -- surprise, Connor McDavid still is the No. 1 selection in 2015! -- but most picks land a new player. So let's see how things stand based on our less fallible hindsight vision from 2010 to 2019, and what we've learned from the past decade of NHL drafting.
