Doug MacLean did a Reddit AMA (Ask me anything). Going into it the highest rated question was "Why did you pass on Kopitar".

Here was the fuckwit's answer: We made a decision to take Brûlé. Obviously if we had to take over kopitar would be the guy . Every team had brule their . If the draft was over kopitar would have gone 3 not 11 . So we weren’t the only team to pass on him.

Wow. with that lack of accountability and passing of the buck, he could be president. Not to mention the spelling.

No, Doug. YOU made the decision. Every single one of your scouts said Kopitar. It's on video.


And all the Jackets fans from Reddit just kinda decided to avoid it. It coulda become a shit show fast. I *almost* submitted "I am young hockey player from eastern bloc. I have only milk crates to jump over for training. Can I ever be success?"

Other highlights:

He said that in Detroit, him and Murray almost traded Yzerman for LaFontaine.

And he spelled Mark Denis' name as Mark Dennis.

And he said the three best GMs in the game are Holland, Rutherford and Armstrong.



Then there was this:

LaFontaine would have been loved in Detroit being a local. But IMO there were only 2 players that you could have traded Yzerman for in the 80s and they were both Canadians.
