Fucking dingus overruled his scouts. All of them had Kopitar. He literally said "I am not picking a guy who jumps over milk crates and pushes rocks up hills and calls it training. "

Kopitar's worst season was 3x the points that Brule had his entire time in Columbus.

That was the draft the Isles took Brett Lindros due to his last name only. ooops

Yeah...yeah...he had to quit due to concussions, but we was not a first round pick. Let alone a top 10 pick.

Leafs took Sean Haggerty three picks before the Devils took Elias.

I need to stop looking at old drafts.

Rick Nash: "A lot depends on how things fall, but you want your scouts to bang the table and stand up for their guys. You want them to challenge you and advocate for a guy they believe in"


Doug MacLean does not like this.

My guy in Singapore ( actually he’s in Macau right now) just texted me that he’s got word the Ducks and Devils are gonna swap picks and goalies.

/ not sure if he meant nhl teams or not as it’s tough to interpret singlish in a text

Sportsnet coverage starts off with a little shot to the Habs


Last time the Canadiens had first over all, they took this guy (Doug Wickenheiser)
over this guy (Denis Savard) .... dramatic pause ... and this guy (Pail Coffey)

 

[jstewismybastardson]
