Boy the players really stuck it to 'em on this one. Congrats, idiots.

Now if they could only agree to contract 2/3rds of the league then we'd really be in business.

Not to mention holding a draft.

[Nathan183]

Draft is scheduled for July 30th in Ottawa. Format is as follows:

Each team gets three balls but loses one for each year they made the playoffs in the last 3 years and for each first overall draft choice they've had in the last 4 years. No team can have less than one ball. They draw balls for places.

Basically, most teams will have one ball, some will have two and a few of the worst teams (i.e. Pittsburg) will have three.

Very cool. Only four teams have 3 balls. The Penguins, Sabres, Blue Jackets, and Rangers.

I found this quote on another message board. The guy didn't leave a source, but I think it's great even if he didn't actually say it:

Brian Burke, Ducks GM:

"If infact there is a cap, it might come as news to some GMs, but not to me. I've been living under a cap for six years. It's called a BUDGET."
