I think the biggest hurdle with that is it would require a complete restructuring all the way down to the CHL (possibly even lower/younger) as teenaged players frequently relocate for CHL teams.
In theory it would allow teams to invest in junior development programs within their local region. This would be a fantastic way to nurture local young talent. The counterpoint to this would from two spectrums. One, Places like Winnipeg would find themselves working from a much smaller pool of talent based on population when compared to the Toronto’s and New York’s of the league. Two, how many kids are playing hockey in Florida?
Very complicated.

Used to be this way before the draft.
Sam Pollock controlled Quebec with the Junior Canadiens and the Habs killed it for years.

....a brief respite from the TDL chatter.
With the announcement of DLST ending this will have a game time reaction for someone's Vancouver Canucks.
Saturday games will now start at 8...or 5 when the Leaves/Habs are in town.
Eastern games will start at 5 or 530.
West Coast roadies at 8 or 830.

It's really going to fuck me up more than ever! I see eastern time (usually) - pacific time (sometimes) and central time (rarely) and this not going to help.

Got that right, Hank! The score will still be available next day at the same time. If you are dedicated enough to check.

5th, I hope you're dedicated enough to check on Cuz.
It can't be healthy to beat off so often and so vigorously over Myer's trade.

He will survive.
I doubt he’s in any danger of breaking Blob’s SPM record from when they finally traded Loui Eriksson.
Besides…..if he can survive 2 metric tons jackhammering away on top of him, he can survive anything.

He builds up a backlog every November.
Pretty sure he's covered.
Goalie Bob on the market.
Apparently the Panthers have tapped out.
Makes sense.
Rejuvenate and reload.
