When it came to the New York Rangers, Button drafted USA National Development Program’s Chad Lucius. The 6-1 center scored 13 goals and 18 points in 12 games this season. Button compared him to a Brock Nelson type player.

 

Lucius is another prospect who once was hyped as a potential top-five pick before falling to the middle of the first-round pack. Although he’s not your classic NTDP center in that he’s more of a natural goal scorer than a playmaker (13 goals and 7 assists in his injury-shortened season), Lucius also chips in at the faceoff dot and makes up for average speed with excellent balance and puck protection.

Who is the last 1st overall pick not to go to the NHL immediately? Lindros?

 

Not including Yakupov and Ovechkin whose seasons were interrupted by lockouts...

 

Fleury was sent down because the Penguins stunk. Not sure if that counts for you.

Chris Phillips was the 1st overall in '96 and played the next season in the WHL.

Bryan Berard was 1st overall in '95 and did not play in the NHL in the 95-96 season.

Jovanovski played the whole 94-95 run in juniors even when the season resumed.

 

This is probably the first time the player is/may be electing not to go to the NHL since Lindros though.
