I went rogue years ago and created "Player Discussion," and within days we had a thread devoted to literally every player. You're opening a Pandora's box.

Maybe "Draft"? Could apply to the general draft thread, specific discussion about our impending draft selections, and would replace "Prospect Info" as the prefix for the individual player threads on draft day.

Wouldn't get a ton of use but it's all I can think of.

EDIT: I also made sure the tags had different colors (to the extent possible) and all had colons. The fact that Player Discussion doesn't have a colon must be someone getting back at me.

EDIT 2: I don't know if anyone actually uses the Larry Brooks tag, but if they do, there should also be a Vince Mercogliano and Rick Carpiniello tag. We used to have a Steve Zipay tag and one for that other guy whose name I forget.

Who was responsible for this? I need names.

f***ing me. I had recently become an admin and no one told me what I could or could not do, so when I found out I could create thread tags I went for it.

Weinman, I think, was the other guy I made a tag for.

I kind of feel like the draft thread should just be a sticky.

Weinman was a champ.

I think the Draft prefix is a great suggestion.

Honestly “Draft” is the only one I could think of myself.

I want to consolidate our stickies but people get so grumpy about the TWO tickets threads.

I’m not opposed to stickying the Draft thread. I unstickied the Media Guide...seasons over for us anyway.

IIRC it was for a period of time, but when the edict came down that only eight threads could be stickied (excluding GDT/PGT), it was unstuck.

Around the NHL, Roster Building, Prospects, AHL/ECHL, Tickets, Season Tickets, NYC Thread, and Rules were the eight.

I also seem to remember this being voted on a few years ago, as well.

Honestly...just glancing through the tags available...what's there is fine.

 

[Adam Fox Time]

How about tags for other sports ("Football" "Baseball" "Basketball" etc.)

Did we never have a Gross tag?

Or Leonard? @nyr2k2, please tell me you didn't create a Leonard tag.

LOL. Now that Gross has been mentioned, I believe we had a tag for him, in fact, and not Weinman. I think Weinman had already moved on. IIRC correctly Carp was also around at that time but he didn't get a tag because he never actually broke any news and he was generally a dick. Now he would be worthy, with the whole The Athletic thing.

Gross was good... as good as Vince now.
