According to Yahoo!'s resident hockey blogger Puck Daddy, we get Hugh Jessimen as the biggest bust of the decade and Henrik Lundqvist as the best draft pick. I'm not too experienced with the scouting that went on prior to drafting Lundy but I really don't think it was the best as much as it was the luckiest

It's interesting (and depressing) to look at who was picked after the huge specimen that year:

1st Round (to name a few):
Dustin Brown, Brent Seabrook, Steve Bernier, Zach Parise, Ryan Getzlaf, Ryan Kesler, Mike Richards, Corey Perry, Patrick Eaves

brett burns would qualify for round 1.

it’s even worse if you look deeper in the draft.
Round 2: loui eriksson, patrice bergeron, shea weber, matt carle, patrick o’sullivan, david backes
