Time to move Brooks Laich?
Of course not. But... Laich was drafted in the sixth round of the 2001 Entry Draft, 193rd overall, by the Ottawa Senators and, to date, not a single Sens draftee has won a Stanley Cup (though Marian Hossa can - and with any luck will - bust that goose egg tomorrow night).

I was about to ask who hit you over the head in the night, JP. :)
Interesting stat, though.

If you’ve just jinxed the Red Wings, you’re a dead man. :-)
Otherwise, I had the same reaction as gotsparkly.

Nice weird stat find, JP. If Hossa doesn’t break the jinx tomorrow, maybe Laich will in 2010.
Let's go Caps!

that is truly a bizzare stat. I wonder what the bell curve looks like for other franchises.

I was thinking of trying to figure out the Caps’ draftees who’ve won it, but the task was daunting (not to mention depressing cough Scott Stevens cough).

haha well that would be less depressing if he only counted as 1 player who a cup, rather than looking at total number of cups won by drafted playters…

Particularly the other teams that have never won the Cup. (The lucky 13.)

Interesting stat…as to the Caps question…
In addition, to the player mentioned, without taking the daunting task on of looking past the ones I could recall after thinking about this for a few minutes…
The 2 players moved in the Langway deal were both Caps picks, Walter and Green, and both won a Stanley Cup with Montreal. Carpenter as a player and then as an asst coach with the NJD. Tim Taylor with Detroit and TBL.

I’m not sure who else – if anyone – there is. I had thought Woolley might have been on a DET Cup winner, but he wasn’t.

The only one you missed was Mats Hallin. Well done.

OK, maybe there’s something to this after all…

It’s JP’s fault for finding that stat.
