Slappy Pappy posted:I disagree with you. If they keep it secret, it would be one of the few things the NHL does that isn't bush league. It's disrespectful, can be hurtful and there's literally no benefit other than creating a spectacle. Using the draft to rationalize it doesn't make sense. That happens before they are employees of the team. I also disagree with the idea that part of what the players get compensated for is to endure public scrutiny and to forfeit privacy in regard to their contract. That actually seems pretty lovely to me. Hockey is a

Vincent Van Goat posted:The players who go unprotected would likely knew that they were anyway, as I can imagine any half decent agent letting their client stay in dark about whether they're able to be picked. while that's very true, they'd still want to keep it secret because, if they publicize it, fans will make fun of the unprotected guys on twitter  JoelJoel posted:Okay, we should make the draft secret as well. I mean, feelings might get hurt if a player doesn't get selected as high as another. i mean, it's not even standard practice for teams to publicize contract lengths or amounts. most teams do, but not all, and a lot of other contract information mainly becomes known from inside sources leaking them.

BGSU's D Mark Friedman will forego his senior year and sign with the Flyers. Really good passer, decent point shot, rarely out of position. He'll go to the Phantoms.

Holy poo poo, Oilers actually beat the Kings in regulation. That's gotta be it for LA, then. They're 11 points behind Calgary for 4th in the Pacific, 6 points behind the Blues for the 2nd wild card spot who have a game in hand + the easiest schedule and 8 points behind Nashville. It's hard to see them able to overcome the deficit and knock anybody out. As for the Oilers, 9 more points (either won by them or lost by LA) until they officially clinch now. They're so close to officially breaking the playoff drought now, I can't believe it.

It's hard to see them able to overcome the deficit and knock anybody out. If their remaining 10 games, there's 2 against the kings, 2 against the canucks, and 2 against the avalanche, who are all effectively eliminated. Should be smooth sailing as they all check out. in their last 10 each they only have 9 wins combined. If they take those 6, that's 99 points, best regular season since 88. We could be heading to a first round battle of alberta in the west, and first round battle of ontario in the east. Powershift fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Mar 21, 2017 |

Considering he could have gone home to the flames and made the playoffs with his old number 12 on his back, it's funny. Instead, he made an rear end out of himself in edmonton wearing a number 88 kings jersey.

I was also considering from the Avs side of things - there were probably a few teams willing to give up something, anything for Iginla and the best Sakic could do is a 4th round pick if the Kings make the playoffs and nothing if they don't. That's like, Benning-level GMing work.

Don't worry, if you don't the wider hockey media will make sure to remind you 60 quintillion times during the playoffs that "THE LEAFS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS THE LEAFS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS i guess the oilers break their own decade long drought and are in the playoffs too THE LEAFS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS THE LEAFS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS". Followed by the inevitable "THE LEAFS ARE SWEPT BY WASHINGTON, WORLD CRIES REAL TEARS".
