I dunno. They should be hugging this kid right now. Not so far from him. This is a very emotional moment for this young man after losing his mom. He should be with someone.

Can we see teams shake the hands of their own players? So weird talking through a cold screen like we’re in Covid. Also miss the buzz of all the GMs & head scouts on the floor.

Pretty awful - the audio from the Islanders set was poor & management seemed so distant. No interesting interaction. A Zoom draft makes sense in pandemic times, but now? Another bad NHL decision.

This format is crap. Bettman wants it to be about him and announce the picks. For sure, he's despised the normal format where everyone is on the floor. In this contexte, virtual sucks

Bettman has gone on the record several times that he DID NOT want this draft format

Ambassadors Price/Bourque/Iginla/Sundin should be there welcoming the kids. Kids don't need to talk to the GM in facetime in front live.

Yup.. we're all thinking the same thing, this format is terrible.. and of course it happens the year the 1st pick is in this emotional state. I hate Bettman's NHL so much.

Bettman has said he does not want this draft format. Definitely not his choice

So the league is doing things the commissioner disagrees with? Only convincing pushing his bad ideas for the game, great.
