Not sure why you're gasping for air in reaction to my quote. Of course this expansion draft will be different than previous ones. This is not news or insightful.

The tweet's from a journalist with sources who reports on the NHL for a living. It should be taken with more credibility than speculation on a message board. Having said that, people can argue about how logical or illogical other provisions or gaps in the rules may or not be. But none of the arguing or speculating matters at the end of the day. The rules will be what the rules will be. Extrapolating what little is known into potential moves, trades, buyouts and so on is silly. Sillier than usual even for message board discussion.


Sorry, gasp was more intended at people citing previous expansion drafts as nearly iron-clad precedents.

I agree with the rest of your post completely though. And I don't intend to discredit a journalist's tweet, as it's much more valid than any other, but I also think that Twitter is one of the worst things to happen to journalism
