I love that this guy used an AI generated image to honour D Day vets. Beautiful pic of soldiers storming from the beach out to sea

Was going to suggest Dunkirk before looking at the pic, but nope, them are muricuns.

There are certainly cases where over-agers have played some NHL games, but I'm looking for over-agers who were drafted high and ended up being more than replacement level players.

Perron is an excellent example (D+1 I believe, and 27th overall).

There aren't too many and the data isn't that easy to come by. I looked at 2011 - 2018 using data from Spotrac because it at least has the player's current age, which you could use to calculate their age at the draft from the draft year . . .here are the notables:

Highest ranked overage player drafted in that period: Tanner Pearson #30 (Korshkov was #31).

Teams to draft the most overage players: Anaheim, LA both with 12; Leafs with 11.

Notable players (not in any real order, just maybe by their draft position); I've bolded the ones that stand out to me:

Durzi
Montour
Josh Anderson
Blake Coleman

Gostisbehere
Janmark
Parayko
Andersen (note he was redrafted after re-entering the draft)
Connor Ingram
Gustafsson
Husso
Devon Toews
Arvidsson
Colton
Batherson
Mikkola
Hellebuyck
Sebastian Aho (the bad one, but I just wanted to put his name in here)
Sharangovich
Colin Miller
Holmberg
Josh Manson
Mangiapane
Desharnais
Weegar
Palat

Is that bacon, or just the way the skill splits on the BBQ?
Either way...count me in.

What image hosting site do you guys use to upload a pic to link on here. Imgur seems not to be a thing anymore.
