6. Tommy Wingels

Coming in at 6th on the list is Tommy Wingels who got selected 177th overall in the 6th round by the San Jose Sharks in the 2008 NHL Draft. Wingels spent seven years with Team Teal playing in 337 games and scoring 51 goals while dishing out 71 assists, adding up to 122 points.

The hard-hitting winger gave San Jose both a strong physical presence and a big bodied goal scorer. Tommy’s best season with the Sharks was the 2013-14 season where he tallied a career season high 16 goals, 22 assists, and 38 points.

Tommy Wingels is still playing professional hockey but now  in Switzerland for the Genève-Servette HC. At 31-years-old Wingels might not see another game in the NHL. However for a 7th round selection the Illinois native provided a ridiculous amount of value to the Sharks during his time in the Bay Area.
