A victory for the people: the GMs wanted the protected and available lists kept private because they're horrible people, but after complaints from fans and media, the NHL has decided to make them public.

Seriously, NHL GM's are such a humourless bunch. It's hockey, guys. You're not building the atom bomb.

At every level.
This is a game.
Invented as a diversion from the pain of reality.
No one dies when people feel bad about not being protected.

If anyone commits suicide or dies in a drunken car crash after the list comes out, it's all on you!Stinky wrote:No one dies when people feel bad about not being protected.
I think it should stay private. Just because the speculation of who Vegas might have had the chance to choose is far more interesting than why they didn't pick players we know were available. If you leave mystery, it can be debated forever.
And being left unprotected but not being chosen basically means two teams don't want you.
Posting your political views on social media is like sticking your head up your ass & whispering: You're just as likely to change someone's mind, and you'll always come out looking like a shithead.
Re: Protected and available lists
Well, they can only take one player per team so not being chosen means that just wanted someone else more.Chris18 wrote:If anyone commits suicide or dies in a drunken car crash after the list comes out, it's all on you!Stinky wrote:No one dies when people feel bad about not being protected.
