First pick goes to Park Jun-young at KBO rookie draft

 

[John Price]

"The first draft, held last month, is localized, with clubs choosing one player from their respective region. The only exception is the bottom three clubs, who are allowed to look further afield. This year was the last time the localized draft will be held. Starting next year, both drafts will be open to all players regardless of region.

A total of 1,006 players applied for the draft.

Hanwha Eagles, who finished last in the 2020 season, chose Park Jun-young of Sekwang High School in Cheongju as the first pick of the 2022 draft. "

Kind of like when Montreal won 20 cups only recruiting prospects and players from Quebec (as they had "exclusive" rights) and when the NHL modernized the draft process Montreal began to not win any more cups

Drafting by territorial rights is stupid

The Aces were a team part of the Quebec Senior Hockey League (QSHL). They had a budding star who, not only had tremendous skills, but was a big, 6’3″, 205 lb center with gamebreaking potential. His name was Jean Beliveau, the leading scorer in the entire QSHL.

The Canadiens owned his rights and could call him up at any point. Problem was, Beliveau did not want to play for Montreal and chose to stick with the Aces.

In his biography on Legends of Hockey:

“The Canadiens owned the rights to Beliveau, so he couldn’t play for another pro team unless Montreal traded him. Since the Aces were an amateur team, there was no conflict with his staying there. Finally, Montreal purchased the entire Quebec Senior Hockey League, turned it pro and added Jean Beliveau to their roster. Without much choice in the matter, Beliveau signed on with the Canadiens in 1953 for a then unheard-of $100,000 contract over five years.”​

During the 1950s and early 1960s, teams had no way of drafting prospects so Montreal began scouting and stashing teenagers to add to their minor teams and Quebec league teams, creating arguably the greatest farm system any NHL team had to offer.

Nothing good on TV right now

Might watch The Thick of It @Siamese Dream

I still think it's odd that Hugh Abbot was there for about 6 episodes and then vanished

To this day people are still uncomfortable with Hugh Abbot and rightfully so given what the actor did

I'm just watching for Malcolm lol

ALL OF YOU, GET BACK TO WORK

Not sure what happened there, the game wasn't open to the fans, just family and team officials.

Last year was cancelled, the playoffs lost the year before that. Looks like we could be going into a third season of disruptions at the very least. The Brampton Beast (ECHL) folded.
