NHL draft on TV is a mess.

[Eleven]

"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.

At least they aren't saying presented by Upper Deck with every pick.

Well yeah, espn. 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.

Having the GMs interview the players immediately after drafting them?  About as cringe as I can imagine.

This is such garbage I should have driven over the border to get a hotel and watch TSN

Over zoom or whatever, no less.

Just shocked their IT people were adept enough to keep them from getting Zoom bombed.  THAT would be pretty much par for the course.

As usual, the other leagues are miles behind the well oiled machine that is the NFL.

Lucky bastage.

[Slack_in_MA]

Pretty dull

[Brawndo]

The fact that the clock resets when a trade is made is ridiculous

Five minutes per pick was really like 15.

The NFL 1st round gives 10 actual minutes (used to be 15) between picks. The NHL clock is 3 minutes but it starts whenever they feel like.
