This was discussed in the other thread at length. Same result: one of the teams that just missed the playoffs probably wins it, so you end up giving the No 1 pick to the 10-14th-ish worst team, and most likely the 10-14th pick to the worst team. The point of just about every draft is to give bad teams shots at the best players.

Why break it into playoff and non-playoff? Just draft in the order that teams finish the season. Stanley Cup winner gets first pick, runner-up second, and so on. That'll really teach the tankers.

If I were working for the defence, I'd get bored with how many times I had to object for hearsay.

Oooh, can I be the judge? I have a new avater to match!

Come on, Mr Enroth is making some good points about his son. And his English is impeccable! :)

I think Maggie is overstating a bit. 4G is noticeably faster than 3G, but it's not as big a jump as she's making it out to be.

Many moons ago, I did exactly that with an AT&T phone. Got it, tried to make it work for awhile, but in the end returned it within 30 days (I didn't get service in my house or at my desk, where Verizon was fine). Fairly painless process. I only remember one that had T-mobile that I knew of. He moved on due to issues with signal in Philly. He was also a big blackberry guy, not sure if that applies to you. I'm using Verizon, two lines, two phones, 4GB data, $153/mo..

Shh, I'm still hanging on. (crosses fingers)

I'd like to have actually seen him play before calling him a bust. Unless you want to call him a bust due to injuries. The few games he did play this year he played well.

Wheat hops are a genetically engineered hybrid from the Germans trying to skirt the Reinheitsgebot.

I thought the 2005 CBA (and maybe the 2013 one) didn't allow contract renewals until the player is RFA (1 year before UFA). Can someone help me out here?

Puttin' on the foil, coach!

oops, you were responding to the other joke.

Come on, that's almost straight outta Vaudville or the Marx brothers, that should be in your wheelhouse. :)

It balanced out Ott's goal, that one could have gone either way.

Thanks for that, I wasn't paying attention but heard them laughing. "You got Harry'd."

I'm with you, I think when signed I said something like, "If this were a nameless vet that is a 2-way center, plays in a shutdown role, on the PK, and can chip in 10 goals, we'd be overjoyed.". Hecht has 5 goals, so he's just about on pace for a 10-goal season (despite how horrible this team has been). I should have added consistent.

+1.

Or, he's seen the "Big Show", then sees the AHL bus, and knows where he wants to be next next year (well, no AHL next year, but you get the idea).

Guys always finish, nice guys make sure she does before that. I'm hoping for an exciting, hard-hitting 4-3 loss in regulation for the Sabres.

I'm not sure you ever plan to have 10 NHL-ready defencemen at the drop of a hat. I think #7 and #8 were OK, but the third pair (9-10) had made their NHL debuts in Games 6 and 7.

Myers. "New core will continue getting better"

I seem to remember it being that. I remember hearing about empty seats during the playoffs a bunch of years ago. I'm just ignoring your other comment, since it's way OT, even for a slow GDT.

Or, fans of the nearest English-speaking Canadian team, in a market that even I remember when they got their team. I'd imagine there's quite a few leftover Toronto fans in the Ottawa area.
