Oh, the 2016 draft was an interesting time. The Toronto Maple Leafs won the number one overall pick in overall collusion. Some people point to Edmonton winning McDavid as proof the NHL didn’t rig the lottery, but this was just a to throw people off the trail. Everybody butchered saying Puljujarvi, especially the Columbus Blue Jackets who pronounced it as Pierre Luc-Dubois. Add in the collective freakout over the Carolina Hurricanes taking another defenseman with their first overall pick and laughs were had by all.
That draft showed a Ron Francis following theultimate draft strategy.
