I wondered how long, or even if Kilrea would be selected.
There is definitely a very heavy NHL slant to this draft, so it would be easy to see someone like Kilrea get looked over
the winningest coach in the history of the CHL, and the junior hockey equivalent of Scotty Bowman.
I would argue that Kilrea's accomplishments are even better, as he has done it in junior, where youre turning boys into men, and player turnover is more frequent than in the NHL. When you think about it, in junior, even if you have a superstar player, at most you have him for what, 4 years (maybe 5) before hes gone, to put up the numbers Kilrea has in junior hockey is astounding
