The Instigator Podcast 12.9 - Frozen Frenzy and a Decentralized NHL Draft
from The Instigator Podcast · host Chris Ostrander
It's been quite the week in the NHL. Tuesday's 16-game slate was a hit, with ESPN's Frozen Frenzy the highlight of the evening. We talk about the effort to put the night together and how we look forward to the next iteration of the NHL's version of Red Zone. We also spend time talking about the league's movement to decentralize the draft. We weigh the pros and cons of pulling most, if not all, team staff from the on-site draft and the movement to a model that more closely resembles the NFL Draft. Along the way we touch on the Sabres first seven games, where they've struggled, where they're enjoying positive momentum and why we remain optimistic despite their early struggles on offense.
