IT WAS 1988 AND I WAS SPEAKING TO TOD (THE SCOUT) BUTTON. APPARENTLY HE WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE ONE OF HIS TEAMMATES AT THE NHL DRAFT WITH AN AGENT...ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PLAYER IN QUESTION WAS ONE OF OUR WEAKEST FORWARDS....LATER I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS PLAYER HAD BEEN INVITED TO THE QUEBEC NORDIQUES TRAINING CAMP.  SINCE I HAD SPOKEN TO PIERRE PAGE THE GM OF QUEBEC SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET A TRYOUT FOR ONE OF MY STARS I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS TRUE. HOWEVER, AFTER CHECKING I FOUND OUT THAT THIS PLAYER HAD SOMEHOW PUT FALSE STATISTICS INTO THE NHL COMPUTER AND MADE HIMSELF INTO A SUPER COLLEGE PROSPECT.SPECULATION WAS THAT HE HAD A RELATIVE WHO CLEANED THE NHL OFFICES DOWNTOWN AND HE OR SOMEONE HACKED INTO THE NHL RECORDS.  I CALLED PAGE AND INFORMED HIM OF THE SITUATION.   SOON AFTER I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE PLAYERS AGENT WHO'S FIRST WORDS TO ME WERE "WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM" I INFORMED HIM THAT HE MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM BUT NOT I.  WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT BEFORE?...ANYWAY THE INVITE TO THE TRAINING CAMP WAS CANCELLED AND THE NORDIQUES AND THE STINGERS WERE SPARED A POSSIBLE EMBARRASSING SITUATION.  BY THE WAY TOD BUTTON IS A THE HEAD SCOUT FOR THE CALGARY FLAMES AND I'M SURE HE DOUBLE CHECKS ALL HIS PROSPECTS STATS....
