Great story. There was an interview I think last year with VN In which he emphasized how he had a nagging injury in Dallas that took time to recover. Why a team would toss out an injured first rounder is baffling. Another point, I heard Ferraro on TNT say he was traded to Colorado. Obviously not true but it should be highlighted how this team isn’t just a draft lottery built team but also one that took chances and had patience with players. National hockey media doesn’t know this story.
