Summary:
- greased a few palm-skis to get documents 'proving' the Bure had played in enough games to be draft eligible
- backroom deal where Pat Quinn promised to drop his unrelated lawsuit against NHL President Zeigler in exchange for allowing the draft pick to stand
- Brian Burke (assistant to Quinn) didn't think Bure was worth the 6th round pick anyways L:

Gallagher: Back-room deal landed Bure in Vancouver
