Hockey out west was having issues then like the GTHL, they established the CSSHL (?) someone correct me if I’m off and now they’re sprouting prospects. Iirc tuition is $50K - $60K
depends on program but at least 25 if you commute, 45 if billet. That was the main reason Mrs Count wouldn't sign off on Jr. going to one.Hockey out west was having issues then like the GTHL, they established the CSSHL (?) someone correct me if I’m off and now they’re sprouting prospects.

There's a looooot of problems with hockey in Quebec. I just don't know if the main problem is the cost or the bureaucracy.
When you have Jocelyn Thibault resigning from his position as the head of Hockey Quebec, and basically saying publicly that he can't get anything done because the jurisdictions don't give a fuck about him?Apparently sports-études in the high schools might become a thing. People are are looking for options other than sending their kids to the US.
I think that’s also due to cost / time allocation factor.
Hockey has become a very elitist sport - not only for basics: equipment, team fees but all the individualized clinics that have become part of the new norm. Then there’s the time factor, which also drives up cost.

May have a higher potential ceiling than Iginla? LOL. He definitely has a higher ceiling. Whether he reaches it is the question.Checking in late. I would have slightly favoured Iginla over the Russian of those available at #5. But that may be because I'm still sour at not getting the other Russian last year when he was the obvious choice. No complaints in the end on this one. The Russian may have a higher potential ceiling than Iginla.
I wanted Eiserman at #21 but the Islanders buggered it up. He was worth a gamble at that point. Sounds like maybe they would have gone the Hage route anyway. The rest of the guys we drafted were not inspiring even as long shots, as seems to be the consensus here.
All in all, I'm not as passionate about my feelings one way or the other on how it turned out this year compared to last.
Way more skill than Gally , I think his ceiling is Jason Robertson but more realistically he turns into OshieAt best Iginla can be like a bigger Gallagher, which isn’t a bad thing. But Demidov could be a Kucherov, there is no comparison.
Vegas has the cheapest luxury cost of living in NA - luxury housing ridiculously cheaper relative to Canada or any aforementioned US locationsHe's not wrong there. South Florida, NY, Southern California all have spiked expenses
A 2 mil Canadian house would be 3-5 mil American here.
You cant have 700 players chasing Vegas or other tax favorite citiesVegas has the cheapest luxury cost of living in NA - luxury housing ridiculously cheaper relative to Canada or any aforementioned US locations
