Ok, a deal . . . what next? Some details, it is from Strachen though

Cool.....so we know GMGM is there. I like the Caps chances more and more

I liked that part too Mothra. But we need to keep telling ourselves, it is Strachen so do not get the hopes up too high. Right now I would say that so much competing stuff comes out on the draft, likely from competing sources with their own agenda, that we are in reality completely in the dark despite so much dribbling out. None the less, I like the chances of the draft being at least somewhat weighted in some way as by fay the vast majority of the 'dribbles' the past few months say weighted.

Common sense would dictate that Bettman would craft a system that is heavily weighted in favour of the teams that missed the 2004 playoffs.[/I]

Sounds good to me!

Please. The NHLPA isn't going to let a bunch of bought out players go off and depress the marketplace for the rest of them by taking pittances to play in their favourite place because they just got a windfall of cash.

Why not? It means the NHLPA can keep the RFA prices higher if there is more money available because these bought out players signed for little.
