The New Jersey Devils had the number two choice in the 1984 Draft, and since they were not going to get Mario Lemieux (who went number one) they went with Kirk Muller, who was a damned good player in his own right.
Zach Parise was taken with the 17th Overall Pick in 2003, and the American Left Wing would debut for the New Jersey Devils two years later.
Another member of multiple New Jersey Devils Stanley Cup championships, Brian Rafalski, was either a late bloomer or incredibly overlooked.
John MacLean was taken Sixth Overall in the 1983 Draft, and the Right Wing played 23 Games that year for the Devils.
