In this sports history ASMR ramble, we’re exploring how the NHL’s battle with the rival World Hockey Association produced a painfully slow, secret telephone draft... and inspired the Sabres to create one of the greatest hoaxes in sports history. Somehow, their imaginary prospect fooled league officials, reporters, team owners and even Buffalo’s own players before becoming a genuine Sabres legend.
