Holland wasn't even assistant general manager at that stage.

No s*** Sherlock. Did I ever say he was?

And Lindros was all the rage then. Primeau was considered the next Lindros

Eh? Lindros wasn't even drafted till the following year, and make it to the NHL till the year after that.

"If I can be totally honest, it's not a lot of guys you get impressed by. Actually, it's no one else but him. From the bench, to see what move he makes -- you're like, 'I wish I could do that.' Sometimes you sit on the bench and just think, 'wow,' and you look over to the other bench and they sit there and shake their heads, too. He has great, great skills. I'm probably not going to play with another player who has the kind of skills he has." Mikael Samuelsson on Pavel Datsyuk
