John Cullen would play college hockey at Boston University, and while he was one of their best players, he went undrafted in the NHL.  Cullen left Boson University as the then all-time leading scorer, and he would try out for the Buffalo Sabres, who chose him in a Supplemental Draft.  He didn't make the Sabres, so Cullen would instead join Flint of the International Hockey League, wherein the 1987-88 season, he scored 157 Points.  As you can imagine, that turned many heads.
