(Above) DU hockey legend Glenn Anderson (right) poses with Edmonton Oilers first round pick Jordan Eberle and current Oiler Sam Gagner last night in OttawaThe Edmonton Oilers flew recently elected Hall of Fame player and DU Alum Glenn Anderson to Ottawa to remember one of the greatest scouts in NHL history, Lorne Davis, who died of cancer on Dec. 20.
Anderson made an tearful speech dedicating the Oilers First Round Draft pick to the long-time scout and recalled how Davis found him as a Freshman winger at the University of Denver.
Anderson is regarded as one of the greatest finds by Davis, who was instrumental in stocking the NHL club with talent during its dynasty years in the 1980s. The Oilers drafted Anderson in the 4th round of the 1979 NHL Draft.
This was Edmonton's first draft without Davis in almost 30 years.
