The voice of new Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams projected throughout television sets across North America – “the Buffalo Sabres are proud to announce, from the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League..”
A fanbase found themselves ready to erupt at the potential of a prospect in Marco Rossi, who “plays an NHL ready type of game” per Ottawa 67’s head coach André Tourigny, falling to the Sabres.
Instead, the next words out of Adams’ mouth?
“Jack Quinn.”
Minutes later, Quinn’s teammate Marco Rossi was selected ninth overall by the Minnesota Wild.
