Pete M Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Here is some interesting trivia (did you know?) Hall of Fame pitcher (Atlanta Braves) Tom Glavine was picked 69th... ahead of Kirk McLean 107th. and other notables: Brett Hull 117th, Cliff Ronning 134th Luc Robitaille 171th The 1984 draft was deep...the Canucks took JJ Daigneault 10th overall. Mario Lemieux went 1st overall. I think Tom made the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 They mention this every year on every Canuck broadcast so I'd imagine most people already know. Glavine probably would have been drafted higher, if he committed to the sport. Jamie Benn also played baseball and hockey, but committed to hockey after being drafted. His conditioning at the time was terrible, which is why he ended up being a 5th rounder in a very weak draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Rehash is never as good as hash. I would venture to guess that no one on CDC has had an original Canuck thought in a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 I was talking with a few Atlanta Brave fans and mentioned Glavine being drafted in the NHL and they didn't know, but thought it was cool... therefore, I posted for those who don't know this trivial fact. ...waiting for the season to start to see how things play out.
