As the decade comes to a close, we take a look back at the players who've had the biggest impact since joining the league.
The NHL has seen it's share of superstars since 2010, but among those first drafted in the decade, none have amassed more points than Dallas center, Tyler Seguin.
Selected second overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft by the Boston Bruins, Seguin would net his first goal on October 10th, 2010. He would also go on to participate in the Rookie Skills Competition at the NHL All-Star Game that same year.
Seguin saw some ice time during the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs in the third round after teammate Patrice Bergeron suffered a concussion in the Eastern Conference Final. Seguin recorded 6 points (3g, 3a) in his first two playoff games and became the first teenager to net a 4 point playoff game since Trevor Linden in 1989.
On June 15th, 2011, the young center became a Stanley Cup Champion with the Bruins.
His time with the Bruins, however, would soon come to an end. Following the 2012-2013 lockout, Seguin was traded to the Dallas Stars in a multi-player deal. After joining the Stars, Seguin began to establish himself as an elite offensive performer.
Since dawning the number 91 for Dallas, Seguin has obtained 494 points, bringing his career total to 615. The most of any player from the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, including number one draft pick, Taylor Hall.
As he continues to shine for Dallas, serving as an alternate captain along side captain Jamie Benn, Seguin has established himself as one of the NHL's elite.
