Draft lottery will change. All 14 teams fully eligible for 1st pick overall. Weighting system may remain, but 4-move restriction out.

That's a huge change! Very interesting - any non-playoff team has the potential to end up with the 1st overall pick.

Heavily weighted to the bottom feeders, but still huge for all the bubble teams. I don't know what I want more; MacKinnon, Drouin, or Jones. I hope we're in a position to grab one of them.

Someone's excited.

You ****ing the **** bet!

[razorsedge]

Meh, I guess this is good news.

[Holden Caulfield]

Interesting...want to see more details, but the term limit and 2nd year cap are in NHLPA's favour based on last offers we saw...did the NHL get anything for those, or just accept the PA's side of those deals...be interesting once the meat of the CBA is released...I know I'll have lots of reading to do in the next few days, don't want to lose my status as hfJets CBA expert

I guess this also means that I am switching to MTS TV in time for the next season.

[JAS 39 Gripen]

WOOOHOOOO! Finally I can take down and wear my new away jersey and watch a Jets game!!!!"And God bless us, everyone!"

[videofarmer]

Now I have to decide whether to buy Gamecenter or just look for feeds for this shortened season. They should have decided this before I spent all my Christmas money!

[SensibleGuy]

EXCELLENTE! Now lets watch some hockey and I don't want to hear the letters C-B-A for a decade you punks!!!!

[ps241]

solid deal for TNSE


Happy it's back and ready for camp. I am also happy to be talking about real things again like training camp......how this lock out will impact teams.......if guys have been playing in leagues vs shinny who has the edge......who is way out of shape......what are the most critical components to making the playoffs other than Goaltending goaltending and goaltending......how important the first month is this year.....etc etc.


Can't believe that very soon we will have our first Jets GDT since freaking April (9 months)
