Interesting reading this now. Curious what you think since they took both the 2021 first and the 2020 2nd. I found it on google btw.
One of the few things the NHL did i 100% back in the Gary Bettman era.
Preying on kids isnt right and its what is so great about Hockey vs other North American Sports Franchises.
NFL or NBA doesnt do nothing in regards to punishing the teams for doing the exact same things.
These situations lead to situations like Lenny Clarke aka the guy Lebron James replaced as #1 in the draft rankings his draft year out of no where due to Kenny's severe decline.
Money,Ego and a **** show of people lining up with their hands out saw Lenny's off court problems make him a cautionary tale for prospects everywhere.
Lenny Cooke's Documentary like a decade ago really opened my eye's to how teams and organizations target aspiring players.
NHL needed to send a message and they did.
Which in my opinion stands them apart from other Sports League's as they put the Player first ensuring teen's are allowed to develop and mature on and off the field/court/ice .
