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.
