Mark Stephen just tweeted this out, quote from Hufnagel after the Draft regarding the trade:
"...In the afternoon I became kind of a popular guy, I started getting phone calls. Ed (BC GM Hervey) and I were able to make a deal out that we both were comfortable with..."
He was kind of a popular guy regarding his pick and that was the best offer? Hmmm...
I'm not going to go on and on about this, but that quote jumped out at me. Just goes against what we thought yesterday, about a lack of interest in the #1 pick resulting in that deal.
