I have a question what would you think about being able to bring in a new line during exhibition games.

example. You start the game with your expected top 4 lines. But between the first and second periods you drop your top line and bring in another line and the same between the second and third period. This way you get some of your starters work, and yet get to evaluate others during the same game.

At no time would you exceed 20 players dresses and on the bench

No sarcasm: for preseason games I don’t see any reason to have rules about this stuff. Just let whoever play. Who cares? The game doesn’t count for anything, what are you gonna do… forfeit?

I don’t know why the number of dressed folks matter in a preseason game

I doubt it would ever be used. Either the team wants to give the borderline guys more time on the ice to figure out if they can make it, or the veterans will bitch more about having to dress (and travel) for a meaningless half game instead of a meaningless full game. And I'm sure coaches like Rod will see that as just more work to do for something he doesn't really want to do in the first place.



But, sure.

My only concern is getting guys that have been sitting for a period or two since the full warmup coming out and hurting themselves. I'd say just allow more guys to dress, but it probably gets pretty tricky to handle the bench in that case.

I also don't really know what problem it's solving. There are more than enough preseason games to evaluate any guy you're interested in given they make teams play like 6 games or whatever.

We have friends who had planned a trip to Disneyworld for this week. On Sunday they had to decide whether it was a go or no go.

They went.

Those hotels are probably the safest buildings in Florida in the event of a hurricane. Built for the worst conditions, but in the middle of the state where the worst conditions rarely hit.

They may lose a day in the park, but I've heard stories of families having great days in the hotels if the parks do close.

Of course, this is assuming they stayed on site. Wouldn't want to be in an AirBnB if Orlando gets a major hit.
