I am not sure if this belongs in the NHL forum, feel free to move it there if any mods of this board feel its necessary. Also, if I quote too much, by all means cut it down.
Anyway, I was just beginning to re-read Bruce Dowbiggen's 2003 book, Money Players. I was wondering if anybody else has read this book, because I just noticed a strange coincendence in it.
Dowbiggen is right, it is certainly rare that 7th rounders make the big leagues, but what are the odds that they one he selects to highlight is quickly becoming a top flight NHLer?
Just thought I'd share, anybody had any similar experiences?

The mark of any good organization is finding gems in this late stage of the draft. By that criterion, the Rangers have not been a good organization lately. Sather Shrugs, leaving the next pick to Maloney, a former Rangers player, who calls the shots on player evaluation. After a stroke of the pen on his list, Maloney leans forward into the microphone on the Rangers' desk.
"The New York Rangers select Petr Prucha of Pardubice." Heads crane, ears perk for the sound of applause. The massive space falls silent. Prucha is not in the building. The odds are that he will never be in an NHL building, unless he buys a ticket.
