I remember we took a chance that Skrudland wouldn't be picked because he was on a big contract. The trouble was the Florida Panthers owner was rich enough that it didn't matter. That stung as we'd just acquired him and he helped lead the Panthers to the final. It's going to take some smart management to come out of this expansion draft without being hurt.
