Thanks Sak, I should never rely on my old guy memory.😂
My most vivid memory from that draft was watching Chychrun fall. I'm a Sarnia guy, so seeing Van take Juolevi and Chychrun fall, I was completely beside myself.
I think it was Sergachev before Chychrun too. All I could think was jfc, how did any scout come to this conclusion?
Mind blown.
Then I was, "YES!! Detroit!!"
Nope.🙄
One lousy jr tourney of Chychrun trying to carry all of the weight, inexplicably led to his fall.
WJC, all those tourneys, I have no idea why they carry any leverage, period.
They should be nothing tourneys just fun to watch. But scouts are generally back-slapping, keg tapping shmoozers anyways, parading in self-importance at the rink.
*end rant*😂
