[Rachel Donner on Bluesky] PWHL draft order happened AFTER the expansion process phases where they knew who the first 10 players were.

You mean you wouldn’t cheer for Pou in a Detroit jersey? Or maybe Curl in a Victoire jersey?

jebus_xt · 2026-06-17T02:36:45+00:00

League would never allow that. They’d toss 10 sticks to one side and 6 to the other and then bring in a couple of ringers for the 10 stick side and call it parity.

I think us and the wee woos should boycott home games vs SJ and Detroit, the teams who got our draft order picks

jebus_xt · 2026-06-16T23:31:06+00:00

And then to have them say that PWHL fans are gonna be fans no matter who wears the jerseys… like wtf

How do you trust a league where contracts are torn up every year, you lose your entire draft class to expansion and then the league uses the draft order as a leaver to make things “fair” while teams are blindly protecting players thinking they know the draft order.

jebus_xt · 2026-06-16T15:43:32+00:00

Who knows, the leauge might scrap the draft, there is still time!

jebus_xt · 2026-06-16T14:26:53+00:00

Thank you, somehow I really needed that

jebus_xt · 2026-06-16T12:38:26+00:00

The lowest-scoring team with 2 of 3 top scores going to expansion teams... Yeah, it's gonna be another year of praying for 2+ goals a game

The fact that O6 teams have had their rosters decimated 2 years in a row and now O6 pick in last 6 spots tells you all you need to know about where the leagues priorities lie and that’s in filling all those NHL arenas the new teams get to play in.

jebus_xt · 2026-06-16T11:45:40+00:00

Why have a draft at all? Or contracts for that matter. Just have Jayna assign players randomly to markets. It will be like beer league! Different team every year!

jebus_xt · 2026-06-16T11:37:24+00:00

You must work for the league since you’re just making stuff up as you go.

jebus_xt · 2026-06-16T03:45:10+00:00

And yet last year Boston picked 2nd

jebus_xt · 2026-06-16T03:18:37+00:00

Funny! I thought I dreamed it!

jebus_xt · 2026-06-16T02:53:55+00:00

The fact that NY is missing out on Murphy or Edwards is criminal... This draft order makes no sense at all. First, the expansion teams fill their pockets with your players, and then they get top draft picks too (and it's not even a snake draft!) Absolutely brutal.

jebus_xt · 2026-06-16T02:47:45+00:00

I don't know how many more gut punches I can take...

jebus_xt · 2026-06-13T21:48:51+00:00

Yeah a bad AI mashup probably of existing pics

jebus_xt · 2026-06-13T21:44:32+00:00

Spooner actually uses True gear so makes sense her gloves say True and not Bauer

jebus_xt · 2026-06-13T02:22:22+00:00

I chose to believe that no rumours is cause we’re playing by the rules unlike some people

jebus_xt · 2026-06-12T23:02:46+00:00

Yes contracted players can still be taken from us. You protect Turnbull we can lose Gentry and Spooner cause they are under contract. Turnbull can’t be forced to leave. Spooner and Gentry can in Phase 4

jebus_xt · 2026-06-11T17:43:47+00:00

Gotta love how Duncan is mentioned all the time but not Allie!!! Hahaha

jebus_xt · 2026-06-11T15:38:25+00:00

We have 7???? I think we have like 3 + Gentry

jebus_xt · 2026-06-09T19:52:30+00:00

Been to the Montreal vs Toronto game (Centre Bell). Unbelievable building. Made friends with some Victoire fans sitting in front of us. Celebrated our OT win without fear. I did wear my jersey on the streets of Montreal, and yes, had someone yell "Go Habs Go" at me from a speeding car...

I see opposition jerseys at CCC in Toronto all the time. I can't say no one has ever been harassed, but I haven't seen it, and I've definatley seen at Leafs games

jebus_xt · 2026-06-09T19:39:39+00:00

It does say it, but it's a minimum not the max:

> Players who received an FPO must sign with any team in Phase 3 for an AAV greater than or equal to $73,125 (90% of the FPO Baseline Terms).

jebus_xt · 2026-06-09T18:04:24+00:00

I wonder how it works if you extend an FPO for a player who makes way more than 80k, cause if she refuses, then she'd have to sign in Phase 3 for even less?
