If the Minnesota Wild had listened to their Quebec scout in 2005, Carey Price would never have worn the Canadiens uniform. Louis Leblanc never thought he would be drafted by the CH in 18th place in 2009. The Buffalo Sabres had promised to select him 13th overall if he was still available. If Kent Hughes hadn't invited actor Will Smith to a golf day as part of a charm offensive for Vincent Lecavalier in 1999, at a time when Hughes, with few or no clients, was considering leaving the hockey world, Montreal might not have its general manager. And if Lecavalier hadn't entrusted his career to Hughes, the young sensation Lane Hutson, whom the GM has known since childhood, probably wouldn't have ended up in Montreal, drafted by the Canadiens under Hughes' insistence... Mathias Brunet recounts several captivating stories and anecdotes, most of them previously unpublished, after interviewing dozens of people involved in the hockey world.
