What does geared towards comfort mean, exactly? Baggier?

 

Wondering the same....I don't like baggy so if the authentics are more form fitting then that is what I'll be going with.

 

I know someone linked a few of his tweets but here is his whole tweet storm.

I love Bob McKenzie so much for how great he is with info.

[Bob McKenzie] NHL Expansion Draft Day Primer - Everything we know so far • r/hockey

 

I think the material just feels better.

 

I found this in one of the NHL.com articles:

 

Not sure exactly what it means, but here is the article.

Fanatics logo, not Adidas, will be on NHL replica jerseys

The replica jerseys will be produced by Fanatics Branded, the company’s merchandise division, and will be designed with fan-first features that are intended for enhanced comfort and versatility. Fanatics will also offer a line of youth replica NHL jerseys.

Are the jerseys going to look like the ones we see on the ice? Brandon Williams of Fanatics tells us, “The new replicas will look similar to the on-ice versions, however the changes/enhancements have more to do with the feel and wearability of the fan jersey.”

 

It almost looks like the actual logo is more perforated/flexible too. It won't feel like a piece of cardboard like the old jerseys.

 

At a different of only $50 ($200 for authentic, $150 for replica) there's no way I'd get a replica.

 

Well, this sucks. I mean this is the only thing people care about, it'll be funny if half the players they pick they don't even keep.

 

It makes sense. Could you imagine all of the confusion during the award show if they announced "From Nashville, Vegas selects James Neal. They have traded James Neal for so and so's __ round pick, and so and so has obtained so and so via so and so."

 

I have a feeling they're going to be doing a lot of that.

 

I'm starting to think Vegas is actually terrible unless there is more unannounced

 

Why would you think Vegas is anything? You don't know who is on the team lol.

 

Tuch is good.

 

the fact all the rumored trades are just super eh when they have all the power

 

What time is the award show and team announcement?

 

lol

 

8 PM EST on NBCSN... apparently they're announcing team picks in reverse standings order throughout the show (I think it was speculated 5 picks after every 2 awards).

 

Doubt anything comes of that but if it does, I'll be raging up a storm. Completely unecessary when a franchise player just fell into their lap.

 

I don't even know what Philly could get from Vegas that would make it worthwhile.

 

Can't wait for the awkward camera pans to the players who get selected tonight.

 

Twitter throwing out various 1st rounder's this year (2 or 3 incl. 5th OVR) and taking the Andy Mac contract off the Flyers hands. Not interested.

 

That would be so shitty if they fell ass backwards into the #2 only to give it up lol
