Most of us know that the Habs selection of Doug Wickenheiser over Denis Savard is viewed as one of the most catastrophic blunders in NHL history.
But, why was he so highly touted to the point of being drafted so high that year?
I know he was not the Canadian Major Junior Player Of The Year (try and guess who that was, BTW), so why was he supposed to be such a good player?
Also:
1. Was he looked at by Habs fan in a negative light because of his poor production?
2. How did Montreal get the #1 pick in that draft in the first place?
