"And you know, we were actually quite close to trading two of our three first round picks, leading up to the draft, as part of a package to acquire winger Todd Bertuzzi. Around that time however, we had John Weisbrod sail through a ferocious typhoon to the Falkland Islands to watch yesterday's sixth overall choice, Skyler Skidmark, play. At first he said "where are you sending me here?" but after the game called back and remarked that Skidmark would likely, 40 years down the road, be viewed as the best player to ever play the game, so we convened as a hockey operations group and ultimately chose to keep the picks and make the selection."
