Alex Ovechkin could go down as the most prolific goal scorer in NHL history. He's been the face of Washington hockey for a generation. And he was almost a Panther. RussoHockey explains.
Forty-eight players picked in 2003 played at least 500 games, with a handful still kicking, including Fleury, who was selected No. 1 with the pick dealt by Dudley so Florida could drop down two spots and get the player they wanted, Nathan Horton, plus a second-round pick and Mikael Samuelsson.
Cohen was the Panthers’ friendly and incredibly likeable owner at the time. After making his money in the pharmaceutical industry, the South Florida resident bought the hockey team a few miles from his Weston home and down the street from his Sunrise laboratory. “I don’t know how many times, three or four, I went back up again and explained it a different way that Alan had thought of. Alan was a very inventive guy. He had an imagination, and he had all the angles covered, and there was a modicum of sense to it. The problem was they weren’t going to let it happen.”Even after Dudley dealt the No.
Ovechkin even agreed. When asked years later, Ovechkin said he had heard about the Panthers’ plot and called it “impressive, very impressive.” That’s because it was extremely unclear what was going on. The microphone had been turned off and the Panthers had to take a timeout before making the Glass selection.
