Craig Button

Or we're going to evaluate the draft the day after the draft.

And then if you don't take the player, they say, oh, he's the consensus guy.

Oh, really?

He's the consensus guy?

Let me tell you a funny story.

People talk about best player available.

I'm going to go back to the 07 draft.

Patrick Kane went first.

Who was the best player available at two in hindsight?

It's a trick question.

It was Jamie Benn drafted in the fifth round from Kelowna who was playing in Victoria.

So all this BS about best player available.

The team, the player you want to take, know what you want, know what you're getting, put a stake in the ground and damn the torpedoes.

Well, you can't do anything about players that aren't playing, right?

You know, the bottom line is they're not in the lineup.

You've got to get in there and play.

You know, I'm going to mention something, and Jamie can relate to this very well.

But I thought the Colorado Avalanche played a really good game.

I thought Carter Hart was really good.

I mean, the first goal on Wedgwood, that's a goal.
