lol ok

[sheepshot]

No one cares but I hope the Draft follows the pattern of: Gold Plan Teams (Vancouver, Seattle, NY, Toronto) then a random lottery for the order of the expansion and playoff teams.

I can see a world where it's Gold Plan -> Expansion -> Playoff teams. However the ranking of the expansion teams and the playoff teams would need to be determined, which seems like a whole ordeal, so I hope something about it gets posted before next week good Lord.

I do think the expansion teams order should be determined by random lottery but I don't think playoff teams should be as well. it's not hard to figure out what order those teams should be (Boston > Minnesota > Ottawa > Montreal)

I think it would feel unfair if say Montreal got 5th pick but San Jose got 12th.

if you're a Seattle fan I can understand being upset about Knight especially when you guys lost 3 other players in phase 2. but idk personally I think it is kinda cool that she was able to get around an EFO to play for the team she wanted to.

like honestly I might just be anti-EFOs. I think it sucks forcing athletes to play for teams they don't want to play for. players having agency in who they play for is good!

The salaries of players last season for the Hamilton team so far:

Brianne Jenner - $122,003

Kayle Osborne - $39,000

Alina Müller - $95,000

Nicole Gosling - $50,000

Emily Clark - $126,090

Which is $432,093 total. I think it is safe to assume that Hamilton definitely paid them more than this.

Last season teams spent around $1.3-1.4M in total. So Hamilton has probably already used a big chunk of their salary cap on these five

San Jose

Rory Guilday - $50,000

Anne Cherkowski - $52,000

Corinne Schroeder - $60,000

Kristin O'Neill - $86,872

Total: $248,872

Detroit

Cayla Barnes - $70,000

Britta Curl-Salemme - $51,000

Hannah Bilka - $70,000

Daryl Watts - $59,000

Total: $243,000

This is what it is like being on tumblr rn btw

[travisdermotts]

highest paid player in the pwhl made 16% of the nhl league minimum last season btw

[hamiltontigers]

apparently Detroit already used their EFO which makes me think that maybe Abby might be staying in Montreal
