Nash isn't eligible. It's a free agent draft.HockeyMan9 said:I'm kinda suprised Toronto hasn't selected Rick Nash, home town kid who's yet to sign a deal with a European team incase of a lockout.
Dan Galvin said:Rosa signed with an Russian Super League team I thought?
Halifax only plans on spending maybe 10 mil.. or less..go kim johnsson said:Halifax probably went with a team they know they will put on the ice as opposed to a team that they hope they can put on the ice if there is no lockout.

Jag68Vlady27 said:I disagree with that last statement. Taking ticket prices and performance into account, those CHL teams that outdrew the Panthers last year were definitely offering better bang for the buck. And that's the bottom line, here. Sports is still entertainment to the fan, first and foremost.
What exactly did Panthers fans have to cheer about last year? To see whether or not Luongo got killed on the ice by flying galvanized rubber? To see whether or not Mike Keenan and Rick Dudley would be placed in an octogon, winner take all???
In pro sports, you have to win. In relatively new markets, where other events take away from the fan's entertainment dollars, it's even more critical. The Panthers have been badly run for several years now, so it's hard to put the blame on fans for staying away.
Funny how Central Florida used to have the same problems just a little while ago.
RyanM said:That's not true at all. Halifax(266,040 over 35 games) and Quebec(207,637) led the Q in attendance and neither was anything special. Halifax won the least amount of games in the Q(17 in 70 games) and Quebec finished in 11th place out of 16 teams. The top teams in this league are consistant with large crowds no matter the product.
