2011 NHL Draft: All-Draft Team for Each Draft from 1990-2010

The 2011 NHL draft is just nine days away.

Before the 2011 draft, let's take a trip down memory lane and remember the best draft picks of the last 20 years.

From Jaromir Jagr to Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby, we'll look at the greatest draft picks of the past NHL drafts from 1990-2010.

Here are the All-Draft teams for each of the last 20 NHL drafts.

1990

Left Wing: Vyacheslav "Slava" Kozlov

Center: Keith Primeau

Right Wing: Jaromir Jagr

Defenseman: Darryl Sydor

Defenseman: Derian Hatcher

Goaltender: Martin Brodeur

The best picks of this draft were Jagr and Brodeur.

Jagr was the first Czech player drafted into the NHL, who didn't have to defect to join his team. Jagr was a crucial part of the back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins.

Brodeur, of course, has been known as one of the toughest goaltenders to play against, winning three Stanley Cups, two Olympic gold medals and four Vezina Trophies, as the league's best goaltender.

Left Wing: Ray Whitney

Center: Eric Lindros

Right Wing: Alex Kovalev

Defenseman: Scott Niedermayer

Defenseman: Aaron Ward

Goaltender: Chris Osgood

This was a draft brimming with talent.

Whitney has been a consistent point-producer for the duration of his NHL career, for every team he's played for. He has won one Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes. Lindros had a successful career in the NHL and international play. He was the winner of the Hart Memorial Trophy and Lester B. Pearson Award in 1995.

Niedermayer is one of the greatest defensemen in NHL history, winning all of the major North American championships. In his NHL career, he won four Stanley Cups, three with the New Jersey Devils and one with the Anaheim Ducks. Aaron Rome won three Stanley Cups, two with the Detroit Red Wings and one with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Osgood is recognized as one of the best goaltenders in the NHL in the past couple decades. He won three Stanley Cup championships with the Detroit Red Wings and was the starting goaltender for two of those championships.

Left Wing: Kirk Maltby

Center: Alexei Yashin

Right Wing: Valeri Bure

Defenseman: Roman Hamrlik

Defenseman: Sergei Gonchar

Goaltender: Nikolai Khabibulin

Defense and goaltending were the best of this draft.

Hamrlik was a powerful defenseman, who was also known as being a strong power-play quarterback. Gonchar was a dominant defenseman during his time with the Pittsburgh Penguins, winning the Stanley Cup with the team in 2009.

Despite being drafted late, Khabibulin made the most impact, winning the Stanley Cup in 2004 with the Tampa Bay Lightning, the first Russian goaltender to do so.

1993

PHILADELPHIA, PA - APRIL 30: Chris Pronger #20 of the Philadelphia Flyers skates against the Boston Bruins in Game One of the Eastern Conference Semifinals during the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at the Wells Fargo Center on April 30, 2011 in Philadelph

Center: Saku Koivu

Right Wing: Jamie Langenbrunner

Defenseman: Chris Pronger

Defenseman: Bryan McCabe

Goaltender: Patrick Lalime

Koivu and Pronger were the best picks in this draft.

Koivu was a beloved member of the Canadiens, becoming the team's first European-born captain and tied as longest-serving captain in franchise history. He has also won the Masterton Trophy and King Clancy Trophy in his career.

Pronger is one of the best defensemen currently in the NHL. He has made every team he has played on successful, making multiple appearances in the Stanley Cup Finals and winning the Cup with the Anaheim Ducks.

Left Wing: Ryan Smyth

Center: Jason Wiemer

Right Wing: Milan Hejduk

Defenseman: Ed Jovanovski

Defenseman: Mattias Ohlund

Goaltender: Marty Turco

The best players in this draft were Hejduk and Jovanovski.

Hejduk won the Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 2000-01. He won the Rocket Richard Trophy as the leading goal scorer the following season.

Jovanovski is a top defenseman in the NHL. He is known for being a two-way defenseman, consistently leading his teams in scoring and earning honors as the team's best defenseman.

1995

Left Wing: Georges Laraque

Center: Shane Doan

Right Wing: Jarome Iginla

Defenseman: Wade Redden

Defenseman: Kyle McLaren

Goaltender: Martin Biron

Iginla was the best player in the 1995 NHL draft.

Iginla is one of the top players in the NHL. He's an even better leader, both on and off the ice. He has won the Rocket Richard Trophy twice, the Art Ross, Lester B. Pearson, King Clancy and NHL Foundation Award once each.

PHILADELPHIA, PA - MAY 02: Danny Briere #48 of the Philadelphia Flyers skates during Game Two of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Boston Bruins during the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at Wells Fargo Center on May 2, 2011 in Philadelphia, Pe

Left Wing: Boyd Kane

Center: Daniel Briere

Right Wing: J.P. Dumont

Defenseman: Chris Phillips

Defenseman: Zdeno Chara

Goaltender: Craig Hillier

Danny Briere was easily the best draft pick from the 1996 NHL draft. Briere has gotten better with every team he has played on, from the Phoenix Coyotes to the Buffalo Sabres to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Briere led the Flyers to a successful 2010-11 season and dominated the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs, until the Flyers' elimination.

1997

SAN JOSE, CA - MAY 20: Joe Thornton #19 and Patrick Marleau #12 of the San Jose Sharks celebrate Marleau's second goal of the first period in Game Three of the Western Conference Finals during the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs at HP Pavilion on May 20, 2011

Left Wing: Patrick Marleau

Center: Joe Thornton

Right Wing: Marian Hossa

Defenseman: Eric Brewer

Defenseman: Nick Boynton

Goaltender: Roberto Luongo

The 1997 NHL draft was the year of the future San Jose Sharks. Current Sharks stars Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau were the first and second picks of the draft, respectively.

Big Joe and Marleau have dominated the NHL the past few seasons and helped the Sharks be a tough opponent year after year in the playoffs.

Left Wing: Simon Gagne

Center: Vincent Lecavalier

Right Wing: Brian Gionta

Defenseman: Brad Stuart

Defenseman: Robyn Regehr

Goaltender: Antero Niittymaki

The 1998 NHL draft was the year for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

First, they drafted Vincent Lecavalier with the first overall pick and in the third round, drafted fellow center Brad Richards.

The two helped the Lightning win the franchise's first Stanley Cup championship in 2004.

1999

VANCOUVER, BC - JUNE 10: Daniel Sedin #22 and Henrik Sedin #33 of the Vancouver Canucks look on prior to Game Five of the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Final at Rogers Arena on June 10, 2011 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty I

Left Wing: Daniel Sedin

Center: Henrik Sedin

Right Wing: Martin Havlat

Defenseman: Mike Commodore

Defenseman: Jordan Leopold

Goaltender: Ryan Miller

The Sedin twins were the best draft picks in the 1999 NHL draft.

Both were picked up by the Vancouver Canucks and have since dominated with their hockey skills and twin sense. They have dominated particularly the past two seasons, taking turns at leading the NHL in points.

They have the opportunity tonight to help the Canucks to their first Stanley Cup.

2000

GLENDALE, AZ - APRIL 20: Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov #30 of the Phoenix Coyotes skates out onto the ice for Game Four of the Western Conference Quarterfinals against the Detroit Red Wings during the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at Jobing.com Arena on Apri

Left Wing: Dany Heatley

Center: Brad Boyes

Right Wing: Justin Williams

Defenseman: Brooks Orpik

Defenseman: Niklas Kronwall

Goaltender: Ilya Bryzgalov

This year's most sought-after free-agent goaltender is Ilya Bryzgalov. Bryzgalov was also one of the best picks of the 2000 NHL draft, even better than first draft pick and fellow goaltender Rick DiPietro.

Bryzgalov has found success in the NHL with the Anaheim Ducks and Phoenix Coyotes and should have even more successful years in front of him.

2001

ANAHEIM, CA - APRIL 22: Goalie Ray Emery #29 of the Anaheim Ducks makes a save against the Nashville Predators in Game Five of the Western Conference Quarterfinals during the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at Honda Center on April 22, 2011 in Anaheim, Cal

Left Wing: Ilya Kovalchuk

Center: Jason Spezza

Right Wing: Ales Hemsky

Defenseman: Dan Hamhuis

Defenseman: Tim Gleason

Goaltender: Ray Emery

Kovalchuk hasn't been as effective as his teams have hoped the former first overall draft pick would be, but he is still an intimidating opponent on the ice.

However, some on this list have experienced success, like Dan Hamhuis, finding success with the Vancouver Canucks (until he was knocked out with an injury).

CHICAGO, IL - APRIL 19: Duncan Keith #2 of the Chicago Blackhawks shoots the puck against the Vancouver Canucks in Game Four of the Western Conference Quarterfinals during the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at the United Center on April 19, 2011 in Chicago

Left Wing: Rick Nash

Center: Joffrey Lupul

Right Wing: Alexander Semin

Defenseman: Joni Pitkanen

Defenseman: Duncan Keith

Goaltender: Cam Ward

The 2002 draft had a lot of great players selected.

Duncan Keith was one the best picks of the 202 NHL draft. Keith is a good enough defenseman that in hindsight, he should have been a first-round pick.

He was the 2010 recipient of the Norris Trophy.

2003

Left Wing: Zach Parise

Center: Ryan Kesler

Right Wing: Corey Perry

Defenseman: Shea Weber

Defenseman: Brent Seabrook

Goaltender: Marc-Andre Fleury

The 2003 NHL draft had a lot of talented players who are today's stars.

Parise is one of the most talented young wingers in the game and is a highly sought-after RFA next month.

Kesler and Perry both had fantastic seasons, and Kesler was a leading candidate for the Conn Smythe coming into the Stanley Cup Finals.

Left Wing: Alexander Radulov

Center: Evgeni Malkin

Right Wing: Alex Ovechkin

Defenseman: Andrej Meszaros

Defenseman: Mike Green

Goaltender: Cory Schneider

2004 was the year of the Russian forwards in the NHL draft.

Russian phenom Alex Ovechkin was drafted first overall by the Washington Capitals and has quickly made his mark as a dangerous player.

Evgeni Malkin was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins and helped them to their first Stanley Cup win in over 15 years.

Radulov was drafted by the Nashville Predators and has since returned to his homeland to play in the KHL.

Left Wing: Bobby Ryan

Center: Sidney Crosby

Right Wing: Mason Raymond

Defenseman: Jack Johnson

Defenseman: Marc Staal

Goaltender: Carey Price

All of these players have quickly made an impact for their respective teams in the NHL.

Crosby, of course, helped the Pittsburgh franchise to its third Stanley Cup championship and has quickly proved himself to be one of the greatest players in the game.

Ryan has shown himself as an excellent forward, for both the Anaheim Ducks and Team USA hockey. Raymond has helped the Vancouver Canucks be successful and we're sorry he won't be available to compete in Game 7 tonight.

Johnson and Staal have both been core parts of their teams' defenses and both were rewarded with new contracts this past season.

Price took over the role of Montreal Canadiens starting goaltender and was one of the best goalies this past season and this postseason before the Canadiens were eliminated.

2006

PHILADELPHIA, PA - MAY 02: Claude Giroux #28 of the Philadelphia Flyers skates in Game Two of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Boston Bruins during the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at Wells Fargo Center on May 2, 2011 in Philadelphia, Penns

Left Wing: Nick Foligno

Center: Jonathan Toews

Right Wing: Claude Giroux

Defenseman: Erik Johnson

Defenseman: Chris Summers

Goaltender: Michal Neuvirth

2006 was the year of the center. It was hard to pick the best center from the crop of Jonathan Toews, Nicklas Backstrom, Jordan Staal and the like, but Toews is the dominating force on his team, besides Patrick Kane.

Claude Giroux emerged this past season as a rising star and was one of the most productive players on the Flyers. He should be a star in the league for years to come.

2007

GLENDALE, AZ - MARCH 20: Patrick Kane #88 of the Chicago Blackhawks skates with the puck during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on March 20, 2011 in Glendale, Arizona. The Blackhawks defeated the Coyotes 2-1. (Photo by Chris

Left Wing: James van Riemsdyk

Center: Logan Couture

Right Wing: Patrick Kane

Defenseman: Karl Alzner

Defenseman: P.K. Subban

Goaltender: Antoine Lafleur

The three best forwards from the 2007 NHL draft are three of the best emerging forwards in the NHL.

Kane helped the Chicago Blackhawks win their first Stanley Cup in decades last season, scoring the game-winning goal in OT of Game 6.

Van Riemsdyk helped his team to the SCF where they lost to Kane and the Blackhawks. Van Riemsdyk was one of the Flyers' better players this past season as well.

BOSTON, MA - MAY 27: Steven Stamkos #91 of the Tampa Bay Lightning looks on after returning to the game to the game after being hit in the face with a puck in Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Bruins during the 2011 NHL Stanl

Left Wing: Nikita Filatov

Center: Steven Stamkos

Right Wing: Jared Staal

Defenseman: Drew Doughty

Defenseman: John Carlson

Goaltender: Braden Holtby

Steven Stamkos was the No. 1 pick in the 2008 NHL draft and he has proven worthy of that honor. He has been fantastic the past couple seasons for the Tampa Bay Lightning, sharing the Rocket Richard Trophy last season with Sidney Crosby and helping the Bolts to their first playoff berth in years this season.

The Capitals did very well in the 2008 draft, picking up defenseman John Carlson, who had to step up to fill the shoes of the Capitals' various injured defensemen. They also picked up Braden Holtby, who in his few starts in the NHL has already proven that he will be a great goaltender in the league for years to come (when he finally gets a starting spot that is).

2009

GLENDALE, AZ - APRIL 01: Matt Duchene #9 of the Colorado Avalanche skates with the puck during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on April 1, 2011 in Glendale, Arizona. The Avalanche defeated the Coyotes 4-3 in an overtime shoo

Forward: John Tavares

Forward: Matt Duchene

Forward: Evander Kane

Defenseman: Victor Hedman

Defenseman: Dmitri Kulikov

Goaltender: Anders Nilsson

Most of the draft picks from the 2009 NHL draft are still working their way up into the NHL. The three best forwards from this draft are all centers.

John Tavares was the first pick of the 2009 draft and has been pretty good with the Islanders. Matt Duchene is an emerging star with the Colorado Avalanche and Evander Kane with the Atlanta Thrashers organization.

Forward: Taylor Hall

Forward: Tyler Seguin

Forward: Jeff Skinner

Defenseman: Cam Fowler

Defenseman: Alex Petrovic

Goaltender: Jack Campbell

Again, in the 2010 NHL draft, the three best forwards are all centers.

Taylor Hall was taken first overall by the Edmonton Oilers, Tyler Seguin second by the Boston Bruins and Jeff Skinner seventh by the Carolina Hurricanes.

Skinner became a star this past season and was voted to the All-Star Game. He was also referred to by teammate Eric Staal as "the Justin Bieber of Raleigh."

That's success right there.
