  1. 1:17 In Brian Burke's autobiography, he mentioned how much he and Vancouver GM Pat Quinn loved Brad May leading up to the 1990 Draft. They were unsuccessful in trying to trade up for him but Brian Burke would end up trading for May three times (1998, 2003, 2007). Burke/May would win a Cup together in that last run in Anaheim.
