This marks the third time the Chiefs have nabbed first overall pick. In 2006, they selected defenseman Jared Cowen, and in 2015 they got defenseman Ty Smith. Cowen and Smith were both two-time team captains, members of Team Canada at the World Junior Championship and were first-round picks in the NHL Draft.
