Eleven Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 "Pick is in" seven minutes before pick is announced. C-list celebrities and/or Jeremy Roenick (D-list) announcing picks and taking forever to do so. Little analysis. This is the garbage I expect out of my favorite league. 1 Quote

They’re rolling out D list media members. I miss nbc or whatever other company just piggybacking the TSN feed instead. It would save from this bad format, but you’d at least get the analysis. Quote
inkman Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 Having the GMs interview the players immediately after drafting them? About as cringe as I can imagine. 1 1 Quote
Mr Peabody Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 This is such garbage I should have driven over the border to get a hotel and watch TSN 1 Quote

Big Guava Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 As usual, the other leagues are miles behind the well oiled machine that is the NFL. Quote

Brawndo Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 The fact that the clock resets when a trade is made is ridiculous Quote

Five minutes per pick was really like 15. 1 Quote

gilbert11 Posted June 29 Report Posted June 29 The Zoom room with the team members was a decent idea but the execution was poor. The NBA & NFL do well with teams in their own war rooms, so I’m not sure the NHL needs to have them at the draft. It always seemed strange to me to have up to a dozen people climb up on the stage for one to make the selection. 1 Quote
