It especially sucks when you look at the 2024 draft. Big show, great venue, Celine freaking Dion. And Vegas just knocked it out of the park ... I don't remember you posted this back then, but just look at this:
Now we'll get Gary Bettman announcing 32 picks. I understand the logistics behind it and that it's easier for teams to do it differently, but I'm still bummed out about it. |
They should do this, in the Sphere, every year.
If they want to save some travel costs, cut each team's contingent in half - why does each team need 10-12 people there? Have 4 guys, with the rest of the team at home in the war room.
