The NHL is currently in the middle of its annual general manager meeting (you know, the one where they can make changes but don’t). For a summary of the news that has come out of the league be sure to check it out here. Something that came out of the meeting that really rubbed me the wrong way is the report that teams will not release their protection lists for the expansion draft this spring.
This is yet another in a long list of missteps the NHL has taken in recent years that at best frustrates its long-time fans and at worst is a detriment to their efforts to carve out space in the American sports market.
