When you feel like it was just yesterday a guy was drafted, and next thing you know he's HoF eligible, it really sets in.

To be fair, some of these hockey players can have really long careers. Jaromir Jagr is still playing professional hockey in the Czech Republic and he was a rookie with the Penguins in 1990.

Pastrnak has been playing with the Bruins since 2014 and he's only 26!
