The Blackhawks are looking to go up 3-0 in the Stanley Cup final Wednesday night and they do so with some decidedly late draft choices playing major roles.

With all due respect to the Pat Kanes (first overall in 2007) and Jonathan Toewses (third overall, 2006) of the world, championship teams are built on depth and Chicago is, not surprisingly, one of the NHL’s deepest squads.

The Hawks have had some draft-day steals in years past, unearthing gems like Steve Larmer 120th overall in 1980 and Dominik Hasek 199th in 1983. While perusing Chicago’s roster recently, we noticed some seriously late picks littered throughout its lineup and thought it worthwhile to make a note of some of the belated selections they’ve made in recent years who are still active and playing well, whether with the Hawks or not.
