NHL teams vote to keep decentralized draft next year

Thanks, everyone hated it.
Way to long etc….personally I think each team needs to do something smaller for picks etc…make the time matter more, instead of doing 3m of walking up doing the TV thing then starting the clock, after which makes it like 8m-12m a pick. I think they need to move gm stuff to online clips that can be put on nhl.com and teams can post to team pages. The interview stuff is nice with gm etc but most fans dont care about 50 percent of players or teams drafting players. Especially once you get into the twenties your just wanted it to be over.
If they move the stuff to online like I suggested I think they could do 10 picks an hour with TV commercials. Making it just over 3h. Instead of what 4 plus hours.
That’s too bad, they tried it and it was terrible.
