We should try to do a local draft party somewhere maybe at the flying puck? Anywhere would be cool for us mere local peasants looking to have a good time.

I'd be nice if they did it at the Garden.

I know they swung by this portion of the country not too long ago, but Who wants to go to NJ or Philly?

Can’t remember where I heard or read it, but apparently Dolan doesn’t have the best relationship with Bettman and that’s why the draft or All Star game is never at MSG these days

I'm game for this. Maybe the Rangers will do a draft party at MSG or the theater like last year too.

You and others should seriously think about it, if it is at all feasible. Very easy to meet many players, players families, GM's, and others associated with the event.

I know this isn't much but this was some of my experience in Sunrise of 2015 draft. Yeah, the McDavid, Eichel one in which I didnt even get a chance to see who we picked. Oh wait, thats right.......we traded it away and didn't have one. What a surprise! But, here.
Met Samsanov, Radka and Werenski's MOM! I remember telling her.... her son will LOVE playing with the Jackets, they are a good organization, and players will welcome him. She seemed genuinely happy, that I made her feel secure about that. Made me feel good.
