Bure was a literal steal as not only did he get picked up in a later round, but no other team even knew he was eligible.
Allegedly a couple other teams had the box scores as well but thought they could get Bure with a later pick. Comically I think one of those teams rushed to Central Registry to cry foul about Vancouver taking Bure would later admit that they were intending to do the same.
What about the time the Panthers drafted Ovechkin in the 7th round?
Or tried to anyways.... lol
For those who weren't aware of that story, Ovechkin missed being eligible for the 2003 Draft by two days. Florida GM Rick Dudley had an idea to argue that the CBA had ambiguous language about how a year was defined. If a year was 365 days, Ovechkin had lived through enough leap years to be considered 18 and thus be eligible for 2003. Dudley would later concede that it had a snowball's chance in hell of working, but it was worth a shot.
