from “The Scout” at the Globe and Mail,
This could very well be the most important day for the health of a franchise. Arguably, only the draft rivals the NHL trade deadline day. While the draft unfolds before the eyes of the media and fans, the deadline day contest is fought in war rooms across the continent. Exasperation, tense hand-wringing, sweat — all behind closed doors.
So, what happens?
Typically, general managers bring together the team’s pro scouts to one central location. Ideally, it will be the team’s own offices. Because the NHL scheduled 16 teams to see action on the big day, eight of them are forced to conduct their business in hotel board rooms in an opponent’s city.
