This question came up today on Chris nilan's podcast.
Nilan was asking serge savard why mogilny isn't in.
Savard used to be on the selection team, and he said that every player needs a "promoter". Someone on the selection team really needs to vouch for the player.
Serge mentioned when it came to the soviets, he was making the cases for kharlamov, and yakushev. Both of them got in, although it took much longer for yakushev.
I'm sure none of this is groundbreaking news but it's the first time I've heard of someone from the selection committee flat out tell it like it is.
The way he explained it, it almost sounds like a war room where scouts are trying to convince management of a guy they really ought to be drafting.
