Andong Good Bogg Song

I am surprised Song is still technically part of the organization its been 9 years since he was picked

Well might as well use your 7th Rd picks on joke picks.

It's like searching for a unicorn, expecting to find a star player in those Rd's.

lowkey might as well but at the same time if I was a hard working 18 year old and some team picked someone from like Brazil or Madagascar as a joke I would be pissed

Song wasn't a joke, he was a marketing strategy. Charles Wang was trying to generate interest in hockey in general, and the Islanders in particular, in China; spending a late round pick on a kid from China was an attempt to do so.

This is true, but my point still stands. Imagine being an athlete who wakes up at 5 am everyday, goes on a strict diet and puts all his time into perfecting his game, yet still go undrafted. Instead some team picks someone from Tajikistan or Zimbabwe for marketing reasons or as a joke. I'd be pissed

I wonder what would of happened if the islanders were given a game in China and how it would of grown their brand
