Winger Jakub Voracek was a really effective offensive winger for well over a decade in his NHL career. Voracek is one of four forwards from this draft class who played over 1,000 career regular season games and scored at least 800 total points.
The Columbus Blue Jackets stick with their original pick at No. 7 overall, keeping Voracek in the top 10 after he played well over a dozen successful seasons in his NHL career. Five of the seasons he played in the NHL were with the Blue Jackets in Columbus.
Even though James van Riemsdyk slides down six spots to go to the Boston Bruins at No. 8 overall in this hypothetical redraft from 2007 in the first round, he's still staying in the top 10. JVR is one of a single-digit number of remaining active forwards from this draft class from 2007 going into the upcoming 2026-27 season.
He's also one of just five forwards from the 2007 draft class who played over 1,000 career regular season games.
The Bruins originally picked winger Zach Hamill with the eighth overall selection in the first round of the 2007 draft. Hamill was the only forward picked in the draft lottery in 2007 who played fewer than 100 career regular-season games in the NHL.
