I found the bit about Doughty’s draft interview was particularly fascinating, as I’d never heard that before. Three hours of trying to get under a young man’s skin! And Dean Lombardi, Mike Futa and Yannetti triple-teaming you!
Reminded me a little of a TSN segment from not too long ago (you can find it on YouTube) where Brian Burke said that Niall Yakupov was the worst draft interview he could remember — came in with a real attitude and almost got into a fight with one of the scouts. I think we can presume that Drew made a much more favorable impression on the Kings’ brain trust!
