There was a lot of pressure on Brian Bellows, who entered the National Hockey League as the second overall pick in the 1982 Draft. The North Stars traded a lot to move up to get him, and some had compared him to Wayne Gretzky.
A lot to live up to, right?
Bellows was not the next Gretzky, but this was a very good player who would score 722 Points of his 1,022 as a North Star. Bellows would go to two All-Star games with Minnesota, and in the 1989-90 season, he finished third in the NHL in Goals. He would be named a Second Team All-Star that year.
Traded to the Montreal Canadians for Russ Courtnall 8/31/92
Second Team All-Star (1990)
All-Star (1984 & 1988)
