Has to be Brett Hull. Drafted in the 6th round, 5th all time in goals.

Wayne Gretzky

Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Rinne, Alfy… lots of HoF/potential HoF there.
Hornqvist was the last pick of his draft.
LogieThePerogie
Im just gonna say it Wayne Gretzky but for actual drafted player Henrik Zetterberg

Pekka Rinne was like 8th round pick if i remember correctly.
Edit: fuck yeah, i am shocked i was right. 8th round, 258th overall

Pavelski was a 7th Rounder.

Underrated player that nobody else will mention, Victor Olofsson

Pavel Bure – I don’t know what round but he was in the 100s
BulbaGodofWar
Cujo and Gretzky come to mind for undrafted players
Late round picks, I think of Datsyuk, Lundqvist, Zetterberg.
Late LATE, gotta be Hornqvist. How cool is it to be the LAST pick end up on a line with the guy that was picked FIRST in that draft? And win a cup? Against the team that drafted you last, no less.

Not the « best » but I gotta give Jonathan Marchessault some flowers. Undrafted and just won the conn smythe and the cup.

Adam Oates and Joe Mullen were both undrafted I believe.

The best ever? Easy: Taro Tsujimoto.

Dustin Wolf could be one of the best late round picks of all time. He was picked by Calgary in the 7th round 214 overall. This season he had a .932 save percentage and is the AHL mvp.

Okay, lots of great mentions here, but I’m just going to point this one out;
​
Former LA Kings Great Dave Taylor. Drafted in the 15th (!) Round of the 75 Entry Draft. Played over 1100 games, averaging almost a PPG.
J-Bird1980
Doug Gilmour. Drafted 134th overall.

Lundqvist. Datsyuk.
TheCosmicCharizard
Didn’t Dominik Hasek go like 10th round? I’d argue that’s pretty good for arguably one of the best goalies ever.
