es amongst the NHL. He wears number 8 for the Columbus Blue Jackets and has proven himself and showed his potential to play at such a high level of hockey. But how did he get there? What was the process like? Zach Werenski got himself to the NHL by proving his ability to play the game at such a young age, and by continuing his hockey career throughout college and working to do whatever it would take to get where he wanted to be.

Well in all truth, he has and hasn't. Both Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin have had incredible careers thus far. Considering this, why is the "Taylor vs Tyler" argument still around? Truthfully, it's because we are hockey fans, it's what all of us do.

DiPietro was, at the time, the second goalie taken at number one. In college, DiPietro had a 2.45 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage.

His unsuccessful NHL career, he had a 2.87 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. DiPietro was taken ahead many players who have had long and prosperous careers in the NHL like Dany Heatley, Marian Gaborik, seventh round pick, Henrik Lundqvist, and many

As much as Barkov zigged and zagged, Greiss stayed with him and thrust out his left pad, denying the Panthers the game winning goal, giving his team yet another opportunity to seize the moment. And seize it they did with the help of Roberto Luongo, who whiffed on Alan Quine’s medium range slapper from just off the right wing boards at the 16 minute mark of the second overtime. Luongo, with a .917 save percentage in the series, has made some quality stops himself, but to be perfectly honest, New York has won their three games on weak efforts by the Florida

Sidney Crosby is considered one of the greatest hockey players to ever live, his skill is another level from other players but he had to work his way there.

Brodeur missed nearly four months with a torn triceps muscle during the 2008-09 season, but after returning he surpassed Hall of Famer Patrick Roy's NHL record of 551 wins in March 2009.
