Are the Flyers secretly trying to create an all ginger team? :tinfoil:

Tell me about the entry draft. Do teams usually know what player they want beforehand, or do you take the highest ranked player regardless of what your team needs? How are foreign players scouted? What happens to players who aren't drafted? Why does it take so long for some drafted players to start playing with the teams?

That's awesome, thank you!

So if a player is drafted by a team, does that means he can only join the league playing for that team? And for how long do they have the rights to his contract in that case?

Didn't some KHL team do the equivalent of granting TayTay exceptional player status so they could draft him first overall in their import draft when he was like 16 or something like that?

Who is TayTay? Are there other common nicknames that are good to know?

e. v v v That is the best thing I've seen all day

Ok, so the IIHF world championships happen soon, right? Is it as fun to watch as the Olympics? How are players selected to the national teams? How come the Olympics make the NHL go on a break but the World Championships don't?

Can I put in a general request for more amazing anecdotes like that? Maybe like your personal favorite story/player from your team?
