14. Mark Recchi
Mark Recchi began his career with the Pittsburgh Penguins, where the fourth round pick immediately exceed expectations. The Right Wing would have 67 Points in his first full season with the Pens (1989-90) and would break-out with a 113 Point campaign and helped Pittsburgh win their first Stanley Cup. The following year was a little bittersweet as he was traded late in the season to Philadelphia in a blockbuster trade. Recchi was named a Second Team All-Star that year, but the Penguins would win their second Stanley Cup that year.
