You can say that again. I recall there were many rumors Ottawa deliberately tanked the last few games of the season, in order to draft Daigue. The funny thing is, once Daigle was drafted for Ottawa, some reporters asked for his thoughts.

Daigle replied: "I'm glad I got drafted first, because no one remembers number two."

The #2 pick? Chris Pronger.
