Biotti was a victim of his lofty status as a first round draft pick and
the previous troubles that Harvard players had experienced going from
college to the pros. After seeing the Fusco brothers fail to develop into
NHL players, the Flames put a lot of pressure on Biotti to turn pro or
let his talents "waste away" in Bright. They, of course, had to justify
their choice.  As someone wrote, however, Biotti never got much further
than Salt Lake City. With the NHL success of Ted Donato and Don Sweeney
in recent years, the Harvard stigma has, I think, been diminished if not
eliminated.
 Regarding Krayer, I don't know much about his situation, but I'll never
forget his "squibber" slipping into the net from the right
side in OT in the 1989 finals. (Sorry, Gopher fans.)
