Toyota should make an ad about him and his car. It would be a true story advertisement and would be very benefical for the image of the company.

Gratz Benning!

Sam Pollock was going to draft Bobby Clarke. However, he never had his first 2 picks. After Philly drafted him Pollock offered them 2 first round picks and three players for Clarke. Gretzky had it in his recent book.

Good read, thanks.

Too bad they didn't listen to him on Getzlaf.
