2. Frederik Andersen

The Carolina Hurricanes would draft this absolutely legendary goaltender 187th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

Frederik Andersen would also break records in his rookie season with the Carolina Hurricanes, most notably best (and worst) save percentage by a completely invisible goalie, alongside a franchise-best 0.00 GAA in his 0 games played in Raleigh.

Freddie Andersen, considered a huge whiff by guys like Craig Button and Tim Peel, is arguably on of the Canes’ best goaltenders in franchise history.

Andersen would also go on to be the first goaltender in NHL history to both be beaten by the team that drafted them, while simultaneously posting a shutout for the team that drafted them; this would give him the moniker of ‘Goalie So Nice, He Was Drafted Twice’ around the NHL.

Stick taps all around for this absolute beauty of a netminder.
