Guys who took a year off and still made good.
Tkachuk - missed his draft season- played 6 games
Sealanne missed most of the second year after he was drafted . His broken leg was set wrong and he had to have it fixed by the Canadian Medical system in Winnipeg. He played a full season in Finland after being fixed before coming to the NHL. That was why he came over as a 22 year old RFA in 1992 after being drafted in 1988. Sieloff is still younger than Selanne was as a rookie
Gord Roberts missed a season with his neck injury and it took him a couple of years to get back 23-29 goal seasons.
