Several sets of brothers have been selected in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft, including the Hatcher brothers, Kevin, taken by Washington with the 17th pick in 1984, and Derian (right), selected by the then Minnesota North Stars with the eighth pick in 1990. Then there are the Sutter brothers. No family can top the Draft success of the Sutter clan. Four of the six Sutters that played in the NHL were selected in the first round.
