Thanks for the upload, I preemptively thank you as I'm starting to rewatch. Despite the poor draft crop, I have fond memories since 1998-99 was the first time I had fast internet and could keep tabs on prospects the entire year. Also amusing note with Oleg Tverdovsky being traded back to Anaheim at the 1999 Draft, he had just sold his Anaheim house a few months beforehand (he had been part of the 1996 trade for Teemu Selanne).
“Stefan has had 3 bad concussions, his medical records haven’t been released, and he and his agent refuse to talk about it” Waddell- ‘SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!’
The Best Goaltender from the 1999 NHL Entry Draft who was drafted in the 5th Round 138th overall by the Buffalo Sabres from the Michigan State University Spartans of the NCAA. Ryan Miller
31:45 It was actually *94 goals (73 in the regular season + 21 in the playoffs) then he had 4 more goals in that seasons Memorial Cup, so his total for 1998-99 was 98 goals. 34:05 omg, the leading scorer for NYR for 10-15 years, he played exactly 0 games for NYR
I wonder if the sedin twins knew at that point after the trade and before the drafts first overall pick that they were going to be playing on the same team?
They knew the night before - the Canucks already had a deal done with Chicago, but didn't announce it until they had confirmation from Atlanta that they had the 2nd pick.
Insane that Atlanta didn't heed the alarm bells - the only reason a player wouldn't want his medical records disclosed, is because they don't want teams to see that his brain is mush
The Thrashers GM could have altered his franchise if he did the following: “Screw you Brian Burke the Atlanta Thrashers are drafting Henrik Sedin as the first overall pick in the 1999 entry draft.”
