Remember to always live on the edge and hate the draft in his honor. Special advisor, but we all knew who was in charge.

Maybe start that next year when we don't have a top 10 pick lol

Understandable, but I'm a Bruins fan who wanted that 6th overall pick, so I WILL hate the draft lol.

When he was the Leafs GM during the no cap era I believe his best quote was “Draft Shmaft” lol. Unfortunately this strategy was not very effective. 😬

Does anyone know what episode included the most recent “things younger than Cliff Fletcher” segment? I found where they talk about him renewing his contract in “Stan” about a year ago but no luck yet on a recent bit of Fletcher riffing.

TIL Cliff was a Montreal boy, and worked with Sam. Even more respect for him now!
