The city of Pittsburgh should erect as many statues as possible of Mario Lemieux.  If it wasn’t for him, there is a good chance that Pittsburgh Penguins would not exist today.  The Penguins did not draw well, and they were more often than not on the losing end, but everything changed when "Super Mario" was drafted first overall in the 1984 Draft.

Marian Stastny would join his two younger brothers, Anton, and Peter in the NHL before the 1981-82 season, and the three Czechoslovakian siblings would form one of the most feared lines in hockey.

After playing nine seasons in the NHL (Washington, Nashville, Atlanta, and Minnesota), Andrew Brunette signed as a Free Agent with the Colorado Avalanche in for the 2005-06 Season.  The Left Wing had already proven to be an adequate scorer, and in his first season in the Rocky Mountains, he secured a 63 Point Season, on par of what Colorado was hoping for him.

Chris Drury was Quebec's third round pick in 1994, but rather than join the organization that drafted him, and he elected to join Boston University, where he would stay for four years.  As a senior, Drury would win the Hobey Baker Award as the nation's top player, and after that, he was ready to join the team who chose him, though they had now relocated to Colorado.
