PITTSBURGH –
Marc Bergevin got exactly what he was looking for on the first day of the NHL Entry Draft.
During his first press conference as general manager on May 2, Bergevin made it clear that the best way for his players to impress their new boss would be to work hard. He continued building that identity by selecting Sarnia Sting forward Alex Galchenyuk third-overall on Friday night.
“That’s the guy we wanted,” confirmed Bergevin before listing every criterion Galchenyuk checked off on his pre-draft wish list. “I like his size, I like his character, I like his hockey sense, I like his vision and I like his desire to be a hockey player.”
