With Kane at #9, how would you feel if Eichel took....#99

I looked up the 77 draft and it shows Seiling was drafted 14th overall and Bossy 15th. I was 5 years old so I don't really know which it was. Not trying to be a #**#, just curious if there was something different in the draft positions.

Huh. Well, I'll be. I actually heard Seiling tell the story about being drafted ahead of Bossy. You could tell it was a story he was accustomed to telling. And I swear I recall him dropping the 16/16 piece into the story. But maybe I imagined that.

Hey I think I read somewhere that #99 is retired league wide.

 

:P

 

I don't care what number Eichel takes or any other player for that matter.

 

It's not the number that counts, it's the man that wears the number.

 

I doubt #99 would be nearly as famous, or retired league-wide, had it been worn by Dave Snuggerud and not Gretzky.

 

:w00t:

He's worn 9 (taken), 11 (retired), 15 (available) and 46 (available).

 

If he takes 15 he'll wear that number on draft night (2015). 15 might not TECHNICALLY be available though because Bailey wore it at camp last year.

 

I want him to go 15 or 96 (birth year).
