The NHL Draft Pick That Never Existed - The Taro Tsujimoto Story 

😂😂😂

That's a pretty stupid thing to say about someone who has 350 NHL games under their belt. People are equally oblivious to Daigle's career, which spanned over 600 game and included three 20 goal and 50 point seasons.

Still more than me lol

he was on the cover of NHL 75 for the magnavox odyssey

How so? I'd say the odds were and are firmly in your favour. There have been non professionals who have suited up for NHL exhibition games for various reasons. I recall a Minnesota Wild fan won some kind of competition or something some years ago, and was allowed to be part of the team for the day and played one shift. That could have been you. Taro? That could never have happened even in theory.

Not anymore, man. You guys got eichel, skinner, both rasmuses (how many teams have 2 superstar defensemen with the first name rasmus?), ullmark seems to have improved, reinhart aint bad either

Molorange Nah we played solid this year compared to recently were playoff bound next year

If sabres are a joke my team is a prank, its the PANTHERS

@@artyumm9463 brady keeper is from my reserve

Who's the bigger joke here, though: the team that purposefully drafted a non-existent player, or the league that saw a team draft a guy nobody had ever heard of, from a place no player had ever hailed from, and didn't bother to look into him at all?

A real person with a hilariously fake sounding name. That way when they stop and go "ok what the fuck im lookin this up" it turns out theyre real. Welcome to Buffalo, Sookin Tiddes

You dare question our lord and savior Taro Tsujimoto

This was a product of the times. Drafting a beer leaguer in their 40s would be funnier now than back then. You'd have to produce a team that the player plays for, so a random person off the streets wouldn't do, otherwise it's ''oh, he doesn't play'', which would just make it stupid. There are still silly picks in this day and age. I recall a junior league drafting a female goaltender with family ties to the leadership group. Almost as much of a hoax as this, because while the player could in theory suit up and play, it would never be because of their on ice skill.

Ah...yeah...you're right... DAMMIT!

Odd Man Rush The effort was there, good video😂

MRE Obax that guy can't hold Jack Edwards jockstrap

Lance Milliken RJ is way better than Edwards, who is the most one sided commentator in the league

MRE Obax such bullshit they are literally the same but Edwards is a bruins homer so he must be worse than any other homer

NOW YOU TELL ME!

I wonder if Punch Imlach was any relation to former Scottish international footballer Stewart Imlach, the father of noted sports journalist Gary Imlach - still the best presenter on NFL that British TV has ever seen.

Damm that sucks

Buffalo, win? You're a comedian!

That sounds like a lot of work though... I'll look into it bud!

Odd Man Rush thanks man :) #NoPressure ;)

Hes not good

@@TheWillStrikeOfficial well he's still only 16 and remember Taro Tsujimoto was also a late round pick

Dam Son It's a joke, not a dick. Still, he's playing in Japan, not NA, so I doubt he'll be drafted in two years. And no shit, I have a vag.

I'd live to see Aito play but his chances are about less than 1%

CinnamonSushi Yeah, I agree. I'd love to see it happen. Here's to hoping.

Brooke - Why though ? He seems good by the videos im seeing ?

Combo2 Heell because he's playing in a very low-tier league at an already junior-eligible age.

You are correct

Taking what turned into the best defenseman in the league was a pretty good pick, plus stanley cup champion now. Funny how time works

Actually?

Yeah but it was really funny so it was totally worth it
