Sigh, it’s a good thing the islanders didn’t let former captain Josh Bailey return to Windsor for the 09/10 season... /s

I would think the 69-70 Montreal Junior Canadiens, I would have to look them up with more time but you have 2/3 of the French Connection and I feel like several notable NHL guys.

That Windsor team is insane.

To compare to college, Minnesota will lead the NCAA this year with 13 drafted players (and one draft eligible that could go in the first couple rounds in 2019). 13 is down from some recent years.

Gilbert Perreault
Rick Martin
Bobby Lalonde
Norm Gratton
Richard Lemieux
Jocelyn Geauvremont
Paulin Bordeleau
Serge Lajeunesse
Ian Turnbull
Hartland Monahan
Michel Dion

So 11 guys who eventually would play in the NHL, plus another 8 who were drafted but never made it to the NHL (some of them did play in the WHA).

Thanks for the legwork on that, I was hopeful that it would prove out when I had more time to look up each guy. But that is what I remembered, they also had a fairly historical season. They are before my time but usually are listed in any top 10 Major Junior list I have seen.

Not everyone was drafted at the time but still, that's a lot of people from one team to go on to be drafted or signed as a free agent.

2007/08 Lethbridge Hurricanes:

Drafted:
Zach Boychuk
Luca Sbisa
Carter Ashton
Dwight King
Colten Sceviour
Mitch Fadden
Ben Wright
Alex Theriau

Lots of quantity, not a lot of quality - most didn't pan out as expected (ie Boychuk, Sbisa and Ashton as 1st rounders). After reviewing the roster, the crazier (sadder) thing reminded me that two players from this team have past away already.

What are teams that come to mind for you guys?

What a flash back! I was 4 years old at Seafood Sam's in Saskatoon and I asked Iginla for an autograph, he took me to see the entire team (1994) and made sure they all signed one for me. Class act.

Also remember them having a bench clearing brawl I believe that game against Belak, Warraner and McAllister. My first ever hockey game, was hooked ever since.
