Quebec goalie Marc-Andre Fleury was selected 1st overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins . Eric Staal was 2nd, picked by the Carolina Hurricanes , and Nathan Horton was selected 3rd by the Florida Panthers . Many analysts have pegged this draft as one of the most talented groups ever selected in a single draft. Fleury, Staal, Horton, and Zherdev all played significant time in the NHL immediately after they were drafted. Milan Michalek also made the San Jose Sharks out of training camp that year, but suffered a serious knee injury that cost him the season. Also, second-round draftee Patrice Bergeron also saw significant playing time with the Boston Bruins . Each one of the top 10 selections played at least 9 games in the NHL in the 2005-06 season (Braydon Coburn is the only one who has played less than 10 games). Additionally, only 2 players from the draft's first round (Hugh Jessiman, and Brian Boyle) have yet to play at least one game in the NHL. DRAFT DAY TRADES
