@Bleppoboop The draft isn't a panacea, but it can give you pieces of the puzzle. It's just not great to be kicked when you're down, which is what it feels like the league did.

@Kyle_Cush @Bleppoboop @morgan_sco55300 Sorry, yes, a lot of people expected it - I think that's why the draft order came as a surprise to many.

[dankean @dankean24]

@Bleppoboop @morgan_sco55300 Everyone expected the 4 non-playoff teams to pick first, followed by the 4 expansion teams, then the 4 playoff teams. Only the Sirens and Sceptres had their draft positions bumped to pick after the expansion teams, for every round.

@JuliaM1795 I don’t expect Wunder to be on the board in Toronto’s range. Assuming they pick 4th, that’s too high for Wunder, and she won’t be on the board for their 2nd round pick

[dankean @dankean24]

@meredithheron @morgan_sco55300 They didn't get rid of Miller, she was a free agent and wanted to go home to Vancouver.

@fairytalenames MLSE holds the primary tenant lease agreement to operate Coca Cola Coliseum, but the City of Toronto is the owner.

@eden_nucks21 Missing the playoffs was a hit to their competitiveness, and Ryan's sudden, unexpected departure was a blow to the team's stability in already unstable times.

[dankean @dankean24]

@NickxW10 For sure, it was hard for Sceptres fans to see a light at the end of the tunnel until Simms became available.

[dankean @dankean24]

@calvo2612 @hailey_salvian @Kyle_Cush Missing the playoffs and coach Ryan leaving could be factors

[dankean @dankean24]

@DarylIsQueen9 @Kyle_Cush Even if Toronto offered the same $$ as Detroit, they could only give a 3-year contract max. Only expansion teams could offer 4 years plus $20k signing bonus.

[dankean @dankean24]

@meanorus They only protected signed players, everyone else is a free agent.

[dankean @dankean24]

@DarylIsQueen9 @Kyle_Cush Watts left for EFO
Compher left to play at home
Connors left to join Ryan

[dankean @dankean24]

@daelbrium06 @_jessbogie Vegas showed them the money

[dankean @dankean24]

@kyokozumwinkle @meredithheron @meanorus She's a ghost of the player she used to be. If something was wrong maybe it was aggravated by being checked into the boards at the same time.

[dankean @dankean24]

@wendybyrde00 Very high among my all-time favourite films
Looking forward to another collaboration between her and Maren Ade

@Shreddie182 @IanKennedyCK @PWHLSource This is how fans of the Original 6 teams felt last year, so it's déjà vu all over again for them.

@sceptoire @Kyle_Cush FYI - there's a break just after 19:00 and then the picture comes back at 20:55

@JW_eats_plastic @legumepod Well, only 2 existing teams (Minnesota, Seattle) and 2 new teams (Vegas, Detroit) are sharing rinks. Edmonton did not get an expansion team because of the single ownership issue.

[dankean @dankean24]

@morgan_sco55300 "different market" could still mean "more money"

[dankean @dankean24]

@JW_eats_plastic @legumepod There are no direct ties between the NHL and PWHL, which is a single entity ownership under billionaire Mark Walter. The two leagues occasionally collaborate on marketing initiatives.
