Backing the decision of the Montreal Canadiens to draft Doug Wickenheiser instead of Denis
Savard in the 1st round, the Montreal star explains:"
Despite his talent, we don’t need a guy like Denis Savard. What we need is a big
center, a heavy guy who’s not afraid of physical hockey and who can stay in front of
the net without being moved away by the big defensemen we have in the NHL nowadays. "
-- Guy Lafleur -September 1980
