need to have proper academies

 

[Comrade Khan]

They had to draft because in the 70s montreal would have full control of all quebec prospects n they murdered everyone for a decade lol

 

[CakeWalker]

then you would attract more players from around the world

 

[CakeWalker]

rather than expecting 'soccer' players to also go to uni

 

[Comrade Khan]

Yeah here juice we have minor league hockey for 16-19 but its also a provincial draft. Or else the gta teams would be unstoppable due to population numbers

 

[Comrade Khan]

But theres no ncaa bullshit here

 

[Comrade Khan]

Thats a US scam specifically lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

U can get drafted in nhl without goimg to uni. Only pre req is 19 years of age

 

[CakeWalker]

the draft system as much as i find interesting is also bizzare

 

[CakeWalker]

because - what if you dont want to play for that team

 

[CakeWalker]

or move to that city

 

[CakeWalker]

i feel its very antiquated as an idea

 

[Comrade Khan]

because - what if you dont want to play for that team

then u sit our n hope they trade u. But! The upside is: garanteed $ n they only control your rights the first 3/4 years then ur a FA

 

[Comrade Khan]

But u can also sign a contract undrafted. Rare but happens

 

[CakeWalker]

i just think its stupid
