@KeyouiX @JW_eats_plastic 100% because you need 12 owners looking out for what's best for their teams instead of 1 owner just shuffling assets to extract as much money as possible out of the fanbase. 12 owners would've meant 12 teams of lawyers dissecting the expansion process to make sure it was fair.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@KeyouiX @JW_eats_plastic I mean you can dance around it all you want but it is what it is. At the end of the day, the league is single entity and there are no rules, just press releases to fake appease the fans. They own all the assets and can deploy them as they see fit. It's like WWE on ice.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@ShrimpCheesey @KeyouiX At this point I feel like they should've let each team protect a rookie, a forward, a defense, and a goalie and just done a complete redraft.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@KeyouiX @JW_eats_plastic Hypothetical how? Detroit used their EFO on another player, knowing Knight would refuse to play for anyone else. Vegas takes Knight,the league steps in and forces them to trade her to Detroit. Collusion of the highest order.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@himbopresident When the offers went out and Hilary was on Vegas's list she was awarded to Vegas and instantly refused to play for them. The league stepped in and force the trade in order to not have Queen Hilary sit out. Which is their prerogative as a single entity owner. Still shitty.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@himbopresident Nothing should've been signed by any player until the EFO's had been distributed. Regardless of the lag between the first offers going out and then the supplimental offers going out. /2

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@jbarnes_art @himbopresident Yeah because she's the only one that matters. F the other 250 players and fans. Whatever the Ice Queen wants, the Ice Queen gets!!

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@SXTPHOBIA @himbopresident All teams have one owner, so it's not really trading, more so allocating assets. There's no incentive to trade other than boosting ticket sales by moving a face to a new market. I'm sure the players take pride in winning, but the league could care less they only care about the $$

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@himbopresident It's not the hold out that is the cheating. It's Detroit using their EFO on another great player, knowing that Hilary would force the league to facilitate a trade. They colluded and circumvented the Expansion allocation process.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@himbopresident But to be fair, in any other league, the league would not force a trade. Vegas could sit on her contract and make her not play and not collect a check. That isn't happening here, the league is forcing Vegas to take the pick and giving the player what she wants.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@samarmstrongott @Kyle_Cush @t_kelly15 Supposedly, now that they are at 12, they are going to let things settle for a few years before talking about any more expansion. But money always talks.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@MNHTRN2022 @Kyle_Cush @t_kelly15 No, because this is a trade being facilitated by the league in order to get Hilary to her preferred team. She's basically made it known she will not play for any other team than Detroit and with the league being a single entity owner, they can just do whatever they want.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@Kyle_Cush @t_kelly15 There are no rules. The whole league is owned by one entity. They can do whatever they want at any time. Any posting of rules or processes is merely for show and subject to the whim of one entity.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@t_kelly15 When Mama wants to go to Detroit, you get Mama to Detroit.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@griffy__boi @4_EVERMORE_ Hillary refused to play for anyone other than Detroit, which then caused the league to call Vegas and tell them that they were moving Knight for a pick. Because the league owns all the teams Vegas has no say and will have to do as they are told.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@messybunren @4_EVERMORE_ If this wasn't a single entity ownership, Vegas could've sat on her contract and forced her to sit out or retire, but because it is one owner they can just force the trade and circumvent the rules. At this point they should just allocate players and treat it like the Globtrotters

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@messybunren @4_EVERMORE_ Vegas used their EFO on her The EFO has priority in the process. She could technically negotiate but nothing should've been signed until the EFO process was resolved. Detroit just knew she was going to refuse to play with anyone else and that they didnt need to issue her an EFO.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@JHTSC2021 @4_EVERMORE_ @meanorus @monotoindigo If you haven't noticed the PWHL kind does things on the fly and changes the rules as they go. Draft is in 8 days, we don't even know the draft order. You'd think that would be something that would've been concrete by now.

[Spcld2k @spcld2k]

@4_EVERMORE_ Welcome to the reality of a one entity owner league. Because every single team is owned by one person, they can literally force anything they want to happen and when the Ice Queen demands her 4th team in 4 years, she gets what she wants.
