Hall seems quite happy:
They talk about Gretzky’s 92 goals or Sittler’s 10 pts in one game as records that may never be broken. But winning 5 draft lotteries in your first 9 years in the league? In 2 different draft lottery eras, no less. That is a record that will stand forever.

Including the pick used to draft himself, Taylor Hall’s team has had the first overall pick SIX times in TEN years.
