Thanks for the heads up LS on the Marleau merch auctions. From what I know, only the Karlsson, Hertl, Kahkonen, Svechnikov, and Sturm game worn jerseys from the Marleau game were sold at the equipment stand at the Tank. There was rumor the Bonino would go up at auction, so curious what happened (or will happen) to the other sweaters. The folks working the booth didn't think they would get any more, and didn't think they would be at the end of the year equipment sale either. Cool to see the Murray and Brown game-worn Legends sweaters available too, I thought all of the players would keep those.

Sharks planned to pass on Patrick Marleau in the draft, but everything changed when GM saw this on the dance floor

They had their minds set on Olli Jokinen, but everythin

I did not know this. Apparently the Sharks were set on taking Olli Jokinen instead of Marleau.

Wonder how different the Sharks history would have been if that happened.

If that story is true...it pains old-time NHL scouts in a horrible light.

Fully agree, not only was Ferguson’s initial inclination terribly wrong. His rationale for changing was completely asinine.

Task failed successfully, I guess.

That sort of story is why you shouldn't take these 'professionals' seriously. This sort of shit is still very prevalent in those circles.

If folks didn't take them seriously then where would all the "appeal to authority" argument angles come from?

I'm OK with a scout having been high on Jokinen; he obviously was a very good player if not without his flaws. But to be so heavy-set on one player and to have one interaction flip his mind completely points to an unseriousness and lack of rigor.

Also, all things considered, I'd definitely have preferred Hossa over Marleau

Good thing Ferguson Sr. didn't see all the guys who were in that range dancing. 2nd overall to the San Jose Sharks, Nick Boynton.

Didn’t watch but if he didn’t use Swiss cheese it’s not authentic.
