    • 2nd overall

    • 23rd overall

    Correct Answer
    A. Gretzky was not drafted
    Explanation
    Believe it or not, Wayne Gretzky was not drafted in the NHL!
    From Gretzky.com: In the fall of 1978, Gretzky joined the Indianapolis Racers after signing a personal services contract with Nelson Skalbania, the team's owner. Gretzky had wanted to join the NHL, but the league's draft age was 20 and Gretzky didn't think it would help to play three years in the OHA until he was drafted. Gretzky's stay in Indianapolis was short lived as the Racers, who folded after five seasons, and Skalbania sold Gretzky to the Edmonton Oilers.
