But in all seriousness, I love seeing these behind the scenes videos. Very informative for us lowly fans.

I love these too. But I can see why GMs' would not want these out there. If they pick the best player, they were supposed to be able to do that. If they pick a dud, they are humiliated.
My favourite one was when Doug Maclean let cameras in on draft day. When the Canadians picked Carey Price one spot ahead of them they were hugging and high fiving like they had just been guaranteed the next Stanley Cup. Then he walked up to the podium and proudly selected Gilbert Brule.
I dunno if it's true but I heard that a Flames scout resigned right at the draft table when Al Coates picked Tkackuk instead of Samsonov.
