Cometdude Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hi all, don't know if this has been requested or mentioned or not but I would like to see more of a "buzz" around the trade deadline and the NHL entry draft. Both come and go without any real sense of excitement. It was especially noticeable at the draft. I had bagged, by way of a fluke trade, the number one overall pick. I expected a number of trade offers from teams looking to bag McDavid but got nothing (not that I'm complaining as that pick was never leaving me) Hopefully there will be a full draft experience soon.

Swell86 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yes, it would be really great if teams were offering blockbuster trades for the top few picks in the draft. Especially if there was a real top end player available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuckingAround Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 By "fluke trade", I think you mean a typical EHM trade. Has anyone not managed to snag the #1 pick for a bunch of spare parts? Agree with you about the media hype. More media coverage with 'personality' year-round for all events would go a long way. I would love more fan buzz, news reports, speculation, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went on a slide and finished 3rd bottom of the NHL but won the lottery. The fluke was it was my one and only trade during the whole season and I only added it to flesh out my side of the deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
