I know he called it a legendary pick (at the time), but I wasn't about to get into some sort of weird argument over it, then it would have gotten awkward. He was fun to talk to, you can tell he's also a pretty big fan of the game. We also chatted about how the flames haven't had a centre since Nieuwendyk so that's where his 'acquire a centre' probably came from because everybody knows that's what needs to happen.
Haha, he was sitting down at a booth with another guy who worked with the NHL and I was standing, but we remained a good distance from each other. And he tossed a few beers over his head before I walked up I'm pretty sure.
I didn't talk about the overvaulting thing, as I didn't really want to intrude on his down time/lunch but it probably means he thinks ownership/management believes we have better prospects than we actually do.
I just wanted to keep it light, you know? Didn't want to get all defensive on him.
