The 15th pick is, in today's league, right in the middle, so you expect a middling performance. The reality has been closer to a pit of suck, however, outside of a few former Soviets. As perhaps the world's largest Mats Lindgren fan, I would say that he salvages this list... but he doesn't.

1990: Hartford - Mark Greig
1991: NY Rangers - Alexei Kovalev
1992: Philadelphia - Jason Bowen
1993: Winnipeg - Mats Lindgren
1994: Washington - Alexander Kharlamov
1995: Toronto - Jeff Ware
1996: Philadelphia - Dainius Zubrus
1997: Los Angeles - Matt Zultek
1998: Ottawa - Mathieu Chouinard
1999: Phoenix - Scott Kelman
2000: Buffalo - Artem Kryukov
2001: Carolina - Igor Knyazev
2002: Edmonton - Jesse Niinimaki
2003: NY Islanders - Robert Nilsson
2004: Nashville - Alexander Radulov
2005: NY Islanders - Ryan O'Marra
2006: Tampa Bay - Riku Helenius
2007: Edmonton - Alex Plante
2008: Ottawa - Erik Karlsson

This is the: "We barely made the playoffs! Now let's screw up our future as badly as possible!" pick.

Well for the first half of that list, 15th pick meant you were quite comfortably in the playoffs, but yeah, it's sort of remarkable not to see the Canucks here several times.

I'm actually shocked that this isn't the spot Edmonton kept ending up.
