EDIT: Not pointing out to slam Dino, just noting that they didn't have the picks to draft him even if they had interest.
First pick at #81...didn't know that I assumed they had picks that is super low for a first pick for a team that wasn't anything too special

thanks for the info

I think the thought process still makes sense though...I would be loyal to a team that took a chance when many teams passed. Everyone thought 65 players were better. I have heard many players say similar things about the team that drafted them.

Ask Theo (but don't ask him about anything else)

I got up close to Fox when there was a rookie scrimmage a few years ago at Winsport. He was with a group that were working out off the ice, and he seemed to be keeping to himself away from the others. He did not look impressed to be there.

Sorry to hear your experience, but I don't think it is anything systemic.
I've been forgotten about in restaurants, but that wasn't out of malice.

Not a meme, but funny nonetheless!
