What a waste of three and a half hours. I sit there all night trying to be interested in what other teams are doing (thanks, Burkie, for the comic relief). Then just as the Wings #29 pick comes up, that damn Kenny Holland trades it away. Hilarious.
But ya gotta love McKenzie’s line that the Wings will probably pick a future MVP with the #75 pick they got to go with the Bolts #32 pick.
