need everybody to say sorry to ashton julia bell for doubting her quiet captaincy because meanwhile she's out there winning impact awards and all her ducks are gushing about how she made this team into a home for them

Mark Walter himself should hand Abby boreen a million dollars for putting up with this shit

[sapphiccj]

this is actually the perfect draft order if your goal was to piss off as many people as possible

If I was Gina kingsbury I would be on the news

[ardmvp]

expansion teams after the gold plan teams i would have understood (unhappily) but for the sceptres and the sirens to lose out on picks 3 and 4 is actually ridiculous

[strawberryblondebutch]

I understand the frustration in seeing some teams lose more players than others, but with all due respect, the Goldeneyes might be in a worse spot keeping that core together than getting broken up

Not to be niche PWHL prospect grievance posting but it’s weird seeing people be like “well the top European trained forwards haven’t done well when they’ve come over” because…it’s been such a small sample? Most of the European born forwards in the league did play ncaa thus aren’t in this group (at least by the definition most of these people have gone off of), so the only players this applies to is: ljungblom, meixner, tulus, Kadirova, shokhina. Ljungblom started slow but picked up at the end of her second season which was expected with her age and some derailing with the mono situation and was highly regarded enough for Montreal to protect, kadirova has been great, and meixner has been a solid middle six player. Tulus and shokina have struggled but can we fully say its development or the very hard logistical and culture shock as well as emotional weight of moving across the world for very little money away from people you knew?

Also the way I’ve seen this defined has been arbitrary. Karvinen is often included even though she did three years of ncaa, but Mrázová who spend several key pro years in the sdhl is not, nor is schafzahl who didn’t come to North America until college so didn’t have the American / Canadian prep school experience some others had in high school. So like which Europeans exactly are we defining as European trained. Anyway we’ve seen a lot of well thought of American scorers struggle or not live up to expectation and not get this rhetoric

part of me can't help but wonder if there'd be more draft hype if harvey was projected to an american team. probably tbh

[pwhlottawa]

there's a beautiful world ahead where pwhl coaching hires aren't flops from the chl 😍 clap if you believe

[shrockeyy]

btw not putting out the draft order ahead of time and letting everyone put together their fun little mock drafts and speculate about who's going to go in what round is actively harming both the teams (who obviously can't plan their strategies) AND the league itself because they are losing out on so much free publicity from journalists and youtubers and random bloggers and every loser on the internet with an opinion. this is an absolutely stacked draft class with an absurd amount of talent and they are SQUANDERING the publicity!!!!! COME ON!!!!!!!
