I can remember when Pens fans were so upset losing out on 2004 number 1 draft pick Alex Ovechkin. They had to settle for Evgeni Malkin with #2 who was going to be in Russia at least 1 or 2 more years longer then Ovechkin. When you are a rebuilding team with #2 overall pick, 2 years before the player can even come over to be in your system seems like an eternity. Turns out both players became really great, winning Hart's and Art Ross trophies. Malkin won the BEST individual trophy a player can win though, the Conn Smythe. Same thing can happen with Jesse Puljujärvi over Laine & Matthews.
