When the NHL went with the fantasy draft for the NHL
All-Star game someone was bound to be the last man picked and that man ended up
being Phil Kessel. As many can tell you
being the last one picked is not a fun experience, but in being the NHL
equivalent to “Mr. Irrelevant” did not come without perks for Mr. Kessel. For being the final pick in the draft Phil
Kessel was given $20,000 to donate to the charity of his choice and a brand new
Honda CR-Z.
Kessel was a good sport about being last, as he should
be with the parting gifts. The guy who
probably is the most upset with way the draft played out is Paul Stastny to go
second-to-last and get nothing for it.
The happiest person for the conclusion of the draft
appeared to be Alex Ovechkin as you can see from the photo above. A giddy Ovechkin snapped Kessel’s picture
while he was the last one sitting waiting to be called.
