Let’s not forget Pittsburgh also had Jagr, and Malkin. They’ve had enough!

I recall that 1990 NHL draft. 30 years ago! Wow! Owen Nolan was taken #1 by Quebec. Peter Nedved went 2nd to Vancouver. Red Wings picked Keith Primeau at #3. Flyers got Mike Ricci at #4. Pens absolutely stole Jaromir Jagr at #5.
Scotty Bowman who was with the Pens at the time said "we just won the draft. Jagr is the best player in this draft." He certainly was.
Peter Nedved said "don't tell anyone but he's better than me." He was referencing Jagr.
