2. Andrej Meszaros
Entering the 2004 NHL Draft, the Senators were hoping to cash in with the 23rd overall pick in the draft. With the selection, the Senators drafted defenseman Andrej Meszaros. Meszaros would be unable to play in the 2004-05 season due to the NHL lockout, but would play his rookie season in the 2005-06 season.
When Meszaros did play in his rookie season, he was spectacular. Meszaros posted career-highs in goals with 10, assists with 29, and points with 39. Meszaros finished second on the Senators in +/- rating with a +34 behind Wade Redden. Meszaros earned 2006 All-Rookie Team honors and finished seventh for the Calder Trophy.
Following his rookie season, Meszaros produced back-to-back 30-point seasons, and Meszaros would be a key piece on Ottawa's defense core the following season when the team reached the 2007 Stanley Cup Finals. Unfortunately for Meszaros, his tenure in Ottawa ended after the 2008 playoffs.
In 2008, Meszaros signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning. With the Lightning, Meszaros struggled and didn't produce one 20-point season. After Tampa, Meszaros played with the Philadelphia Flyers, Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabres.
Meszaros would only record one 30-point season for the rest of his career in the 2010-11 season with the Flyers. Meszaros never played an NHL game again after the 2014-15 season.
