Description
From the Foreword by Wayne Gretzky:
“When I flew back to Edmonton that day for the announcement of my trade, both Peter and Glen Sather told me one more time they would kill the deal to send me to L.A., if I wanted it killed. And I was this close — this close — to killing the deal. He was like a father to me.”
