Talk about downplaying achievement. Brandon Dubinsky as a 21 yr old rookie beat out two very good players to earn that right.
Drury had 69 pts one season before coming to NY. Was one of the best players on that Buffalo roster. A former hobey baker winner, Calder winner and Stanley cup winner.
Gomez was coming off a 60pt, on a defensive club where he missed 8 games. The season before he had 80 season At the time he was in his 8th year. In that time he won 2 cups, made it to the finals a 3rd time plus he also won a Calder.
