Sheng’s Daily Links: Doug Wilson Will Have to Wait

Every post-1967 NHL expansion franchise has received the No. 1 pick or at a least a chance at the No. 1 pick before their inaugural season.

Every expansion team except for the San Jose Sharks.

San Jose’s first GM Jack Ferreira talks about the 1991 NHL Draft and the Sharks not even getting a shot at Eric Lindros.

He also reveals a trade that almost happened with a famous Winnipeg Jet.
