Pretty sure what the NHL is planning is switching to an NBA-style draft. Where the only ones physically attending are Gary the weasel with a bunch of team hats to hand out and a handful of the top prospects.

Everyone else would “attend” virtually, rather than having all the GM’s and their entourages together in the same room.

I kinda hated the idea at first. But then the upside is that we don’t have to hear GM after GM droning on their thanks to the host team, congrats to the champs and giving a shout out to their “draft party”. And as a result maybe it won’t take several hours just to get through the first round.

I like the idea of trades happening on the floor or the groundwork for future trades being established. Not sure how that would be replaced in a virtual environment
 
You will never be able to comfort me that anything is "something the Leafs won't do." And the reason is very simple.

He hasn't made a franchise altering decision yet. All safe, low risk moves that can be easily fixed by a competent GM. Problem is A) he's probably not competent and B) he's gonna have to make one of those bold Muzzin or Brodie moves to retool the defense at some point. He better not miss! I have zero faith. His face is dumb and he has targeted some shit d so far in his time Toronto.


But mostly it's his face.

he could always trade Willy for a D!
 
I mean a) that's a fourthperiod guy and b) he says in the tweet that there has been no trade talks. just a "belief" in "interest".
 
c) The anxiety will continue to persist because as a great man once said, "fuck, our GM is a dud"


I still say he's gonna get Dumba. Surprised there haven't been rumors yet. Wild are junk, he's a rental and he was the target originally. Maybe he's not so bad. Not what they need but I fear he's capable of worse. Him or Tanev but Flames may be in the playoffs so not sure why they'd trade him.
