Most of this is from a Winnipeg Jets perspective after years of bad decisions at the draft table:

Hindsight is always 20/20, but with Roy instead of Peter Douris, Leetch not Elynuik, Recchi for Romaniuk...

Maybe we\'re still watching NHL hockey in Winnipeg.

Could have had Forsberg and Selanne on the same team! ow
Ifs and Buts, candy and nuts,... Portage and Main!
