I didn't see any mention of this, so...

Nothing too detailed, just kind of an overview of Hakan's interaction with the scouting team and what not.

This was kind of interesting

"Sometimes we go by a list that we put together, but I still remember the year we drafted Johan Franzen (at No. 97)," he said. "The name higher on our list at the time was Alexander Edler. But Vancouver made a trade when they realized we were likely going to take him and since they didn't have a third-round pick.

...

"So we waited and Vancouver did it. So Jim and I regrouped and said 'OK, what's the next name?' That was Johan Franzen, so we took him."

"Dylan McIlrath is still there at #15, so Jim and I regroup and say, make the deal, trade Boston our 21st pick along with the famous future considerations and draft that kid!" -Andersson at 2010 Entry Draft.

What? Oh, excuse me, good morning, I must have been dreaming!

He just didn't post the link.

Andersson is one guy who I hope the Wings never lose. He is a huge reason the Wings have been good for so long.
