| Sergei Federov 1994-95 Flair #246 (MVP Series) |
From the back of the card:
"We were going to take Pavel Bure or Sergei Federov" stated Ken Holland, Detroit's Assistant General Manager and Scouting Director...
Young hockey prospects from the former Soviet Union were harder to sign, seal and deliver than any North American free agent. The story of his "Coming to America" is a tale right out of a James Bond novel."
Federov or Bure... With hindsight being 20/20, Now that would be a tough decision. Federov won a Stanley Cup with the Wings. Bure made it to the finals with the Canucks. I still get a kick out of the fact that these guys were pulled from the FOURTH round of the draft...
