So many what-ifs with Pelawa. Crazy to think he was 18 in that pic--he looks like he's 30. Curious where/if he would have slotted in on those 89-94 teams, as that looks like it would have been his early prime years. Imagine a line of Roberts-Otto-Pelawa.

Doing a little more digging: wow at the '86 draft. We took 4 guys out of High School from MN and not one panned out. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/t...r00005090.html
