imisssergei 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 I was just reading some football stuff on ESPN, they were talking about the 'franchise tag'. If you don't know what that is, look it up. The question is this, how would you feel about the NHL implementing something like this? I think it would be interesting. I like the idea. And it would probably shut up Burke, which is always a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it would probably shut up Burke, which is always a good thing. I wouldn't expect to see it anytime soon in the nhl. But I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I guess players like Lidstrom who have/will play their whole careers with one team could be labeled as a franchise player. It's just a showing of confidence in the organization such as Detroit for Lidstrom. i think some on here would say, yeah a franchise player is our Captain, duh! But I think if you look around the league, that's not always the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
