Episode Notes

On this episode of Storytime Hockey, we look at the history of the NHL Entry Draft and how the first overall pick has only been traded three times. Why did teams trade away such a valuable pick, and how did it turn out for them in the long run? In our player profile, we look at Carolina Hurricanes Senior VP of Hockey Operation Rick Dudley, his NHL and NLL playing career and how he might be the most interesting man in hockey, but also, a Batman villain.
