Both.

From the athletic article about it
https://theathletic.com/4974239/2023/10/18/nhl-draft-changes-decentralization?source=user-shared-article

quote:

Among the broader issues the NHL has started to face with the event is a limited number of clubs being willing to serve as its host, which restricts scheduling options because of building availability. That’s because while the draft is typically a boon for the local tourism economy given the large number of visitors it brings to a city, it doesn’t typically come with a windfall for the host team.

So not no one wants to host it, but also probably not a competitive enough process that you need to blackmail the league to get a shot.

Andlauer determined very quickly that the two ways to be someone the NHL head office wants to make happy is to bring in tons of cash, or blackmail.

Well, it's not gonna be the former anytime soon.

How much do you think Shane Pinto and a future first round pick are to the value of an NHL franchise? Like are we talking 100 million, 200 million? Is Andlauer a huge Pinto fan

If that first round pick is Connor Bedard, I'd put the number in the billions range. Good thing whatever franchise got that guy deserved the money.

I’m not sure if they’re ever going to actually lose a pick. Remember that the Devils cheated and were supposed to lose a first round pick over their choice of four years:

https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/devils-kovalchuk-penalty-reduced-get-first-round-pick-back/amp/

They should have picked 10th that year and the NHL made em pick 30th, so still a punishment along with the fine. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sens elect to not forfeit it for a few years and the NHL modifies it similarly.

Nah same thing happened with the Coyotes and Yzerman and this is like the same scenario except not dealing with trades. New ownership, new GM, and new scouts and the league still made them eat poo poo with taking away the first round pick.

Yep. I hope that dipshit doesn't get another job in the NHL.

Edit: Actually Chayka was the Yotes GM but Yzerman was the other GM who reported it to the league and wanted the punishment like Vegas in this case.

Thankfully, Staios is the interim GM.

Give him the job, imo:

  • Great record managing junior
  • No expectations for the sens right now
  • He's new and would take a cheap deal
  • Isn't Peter Chiarelli

What's the downside?

For him, he's already the President of Hockey Ops so he's either doing two jobs or getting a demotion.

I don't know how law works, but is there a result where the league has to argue, in court, that an org covering up sexual assault and directly and intentionally feeding the perpetrator new victims is less harmful than an org employing a gm who's a loving idiot moron that can't read a contract?

Cooley had his first NHL goal tonight. Not a garbage goal either, got behind the defense, kept his head and beat the goalie. This guy is going to be fun to watch.

Mintyukov is averaging over 19 mins per game, is +4 on a terrible defensive team, and has 7 points in 10 games.

The Sabres scored 5 goals on 15 shots last night, is that good? Also UPL stopped 38 of 40 including a 2-on-0 in the third period but one of the goals he let in was a real stinker, I wish goaltending made any loving sense lol

Also I don’t wanna laugh at an injury but Hart got injured when Cam Atkinson pushed Brandon Boro and they both crashed into Hart and look it’s kinda sad but also funny when a team injures their own goalie.
