3. Rick Martin

In 1970, the Buffalo Sabres took Gilbert Perreault with the First Overall Pick.  The year after, Buffalo had the number five pick, and they would take another native of Quebec, and soon-to-be linemate (and junior teammate), Rick Martin.

The man who was almost number one on this list was the first ever player drafted by the Buffalo Sabres, who took him number one overall in 1970.

1. Dominik Hasek

We can understand if you think we should have gone with Gilbert Perreault for this spot, but after reading this, you may see why we chose Dominik Hasek.

In 2014, Brandon Scherff of Iowa won the Outland Trophy as the Nation’s top Lineman, and unsurprisingly, he was the first Offensive Linemen taken during the 2015 Draft when Washington took him Fifth Overall.
