69, a number so nice, our own mcoles69 uses it in her screen name. While spending time thinking about how nice the number 69 is, I came up with a question. Who are the greatest NHL players to ever be picked 69th in the NHL Entry Draft? Surely the nicest number would be graced with the nicest players to ever play in the National Hockey League. Well, unfortunately, most of the best players are picked in places like #1 or #2, but luckily for us, there were enough real hockey players to let me make this list: the top 10 hockey players who were picked 69th overall in the NHL Entry Draft.
