A hockey nut since his Toronto childhood, Devellano actually launched his bird-dogging career as an unpaid scout in 1967 when the Blues entered the NHL in its first expansion.
Now, Jimmy was hoping Torrey would offer him a paying job to find talent for the team that soon would call it home on Hempstead Turnpike.
Devellano: We chatted for a long time that afternoon, right there on the street. I wound up with a firm promise to meet with Torrey and Chadwick in Toronto the following month. I had my foot in the door.
Nobody could know it at the time but apart from Torrey Devellano would emerge as, The Other Architect, a man responsible for finding and drafting more top players than anyone for the four-Cup dynasty.

The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has responded after his decision to sign a letter supporting visa-free travel for musicians has caused a stir online. The singer previously spoke out in support of Brexit and claimed that it wouldn’t have any impact on music.
The letter called on the government to “urgently do what it said it would do and negotiate paperwork-free travel in Europe for British artists and their equipment” and argued that otherwise “many tours [will be] unviable, especially for young emerging musicians who are already struggling to keep their heads above water owing to the Covid ban on live music”.
