French Collection Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Elliot Friedman was talking about this last night. His perspective is that he loves it because all of the NHL teams are gathered in one place. It’s easier for him to get stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsnet wrote that it was a cost saving idea along with the issue of privacy in having your own war room. Some teams were complaining about being overheard about picks and trades due to the proximity. Another mention was the free agency date being too close to the draft.

To the bolded point, I have wondered for years how these teams manage to hide any of their intentions/secrets/trade conversations when they are packed onto the floor together elbow-to-elbow. It always seemed odd to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
