Phil Kessel Toronto Maple Leafs first draft in Fantasy nhl

Phil Kessel, the Toronto Maple Leafs remained stuck in their folding chairs, under the klieg lights and in front of television cameras, surrounded by fans and media and their peers, not collect.


The NHL was holding its first draft in Fantasy on Friday night, with the captains of each team's selection of alignments for All-Star Sunday. That means someone would have to go past.

Who was it gonna be?

Finally, Carolina Hurricanes Eric Staal (notes) are Stastny for his team. And Kessel was the lone star on the left. He had to join the Detroit Red Wings Nicklas' Lidstrom (notes) by default.

Kessel could only smile when I was sitting there all by itself, while Alex's Washington Capitals' Ovechkin (white) took a picture of him with a BlackBerry and exploited their own phone with text messages jokes teammates in Toronto.
