With no CBA, they had to cancel it.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/stor ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

You really have to feel sorry for the kids whose draft year this was, and even next years draft class. Unless they make the next draft longer, there will be a lot of kids who will never get the thrill of hearing their name called on draft day that would have had they not cancelled this years event.<br><br><br>Also, does anyone think Kessel could be the first overall pick in the 2006 draft? Or will it still be Sidney Crosby? <p></p><i></i>

At this point, I really dont care about the NHL. I'm perfectly content with High School and College Hockey. <p></p><i></i>

NHL? What's that? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... lasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Yes, I've missed it a little, but I found myself watching a lot more HS & college hockey and I have always enjoyed that more than the pro's because it is more free flowing and crisper. Don't get me wrong, I want the NHL to come back, but I want them to be completely fixed. I don't want any halfa**ed agreements, figure your stuff out and get it done. Until then, HS & college is where it is at. Go Gophers! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... lasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>Elk River AA State Champions- 2001 Boys & 2004 Girls</p><i></i>

No loss........... <p></p><i></i>

Its not a loss for the college teams, Look at it like this, Kessel is a Gopher next year and then also the following since he cant turn pro. Also Lee for UND it gives the college teams a chance to keep there top players for an extra year atleast and as a bigger college hockey fan then a pro fan I love the sounds of that <p></p><i></i>

I wonder how many of you naysayers will keep your negative and/or ambivalent attitudes toward nhl hockey(or the lack , there of) after the amateur season is over.I know I will probably experience my "hockey withdrawals" a little earlier this year.. <p></p><i></i>
