Source? Let me guess, Pollock and Joe Sports critiquing the picture in the Sun from the intro press conference where he wasn't smiling, and the fact he was a dull interview, wasnt sucking up to him as they thought he should?
Drury was a skilled player who took over games, and if he got one point, he got multiple that year. Button getting him for the vastly overrated and lazy arrogant Morris was the best move he made without question. He was open to coming back according to Sutter, but the Flames couldn't afford him that next season.
But Drury was #37 here no? For some reason I did think he switched to or from that number before or after he was acquired before the last preseason game in 2002, but can't see my proof of him in #18.
Darcy Rota is about as obscure as you can get. 40 games between trade deadlines in Atlanta. Better known for his Vancouver years which is strike 2 and 3.
Stajan, I guess. Will never know with Lombardi, as after the Hatcher hit he shyed away from going anywhere near the scoring zone with any sort of speed and aggression.
