  • R. Steve Kelly is an ice hockey center currently playing for HDD Tilia Olimpija Ljubljana in central european Erste Bank Eishockey Liga. Kelly was drafted in the first round, 6th overall, of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft by the Edmonton Oilers. Kelly played his junior hockey with the Prince Albert Raiders of the WHL, where he compiled 254 points in 268 games. In 1995–1996, Kelly tallied 101 points and 203 penalty minutes to lead the Raiders to a 47-win season and second place in the WHL Eastern Division. Despite his high draft status, Kelly has never appeared in more than 43 games in an NHL season and has just 21 points in 147 games. Kelly played just 27 games for the Edmonton Oilers during the 1996–97 and 1997–98 seasons before being traded in February 1998 to the Tampa Bay Lightning along with Bryan Marchment and Jason Bonsignore in exchange for Roman Hamrlik and Paul Comrie. After 58 games over two seasons with the Lightning, Kelly was sent to the New Jersey Devils prior to the 1999–2000 season, where he spent the majority of the season with their AHL affiliate, the Albany River Rats. Kelly notched 57 points for Albany, but made just one appearance with the Devils. However, injuries during the Devils' playoff run forced Kelly into the NHL lineup, where he appeared in 10 games during the Devils' Stanley Cup winning drive. In February 2001, after 25 games in New Jersey, Kelly was traded to the Los Angeles Kings for forward Bob Corkum. With L.A. 's AHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, Kelly enjoyed his best statistical seasons as a pro, amassing 133 points in just 113 games from 2002–2004, and representing the Canadian All-Stars in the 2004 AHL All-Star Classic. Following the 2003–2004 season, Kelly signed in Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga with the Mannheim Eagles. In November 2005, Kelly signed with the Frankfurt Lions of the same league, where he scored 20 points in 22 games. In 2007, he signed with the Minnesota Wild and spent much of the season with the team's AHL affiliate, the Houston Aeros before being called up at the end of the season to fill in at center. After being signed by Columbus Blue Jackets and sent down to their affiliates Syracuse Crunch, Kelly chose to return to Europe by signing a one-year-contract with HDD Tilia Olimpija Ljubljana in Erste Bank Eishockey Liga. While showing promise at the beginning of his pro career, most would regard him as the 'biggest bust' of the 1995 NHL draft. Many Oilers fans use Kelly as an example of the Oilers inability to draft NHL level players. Most fans and media expected the Oilers to draft Shane Doan - an obvious choice who would be drafted next by Winnipeg and later become the face and captain of the Jets/Coyotes franchise - but shocked everybody by drafting Kelly 6th overall. An assumption among Oilers fans is that the Oilers first round pick will be 'another Steve Kelly.'
