This week we touch on the updates surrounding the return to play process and then we spend the rest of our time discussing the deeply flawed and broken draft lottery. Those that watched the lottery this past week should understand the sentiment that it is a deeply flawed and broken system. WHY would any board of governors vote on a system like this?  War Room: The Hockey Podcast - Facebook@warroomthehockeypodcast - Instagramwww.warroomhockey.com War Room: The Hockey Podcast - Apple Podcasts and Spotify Hit the subscribe button!Rate and ReviewShare with family and friends!  Also; Check out Evan Rauer and @evanrauer - Facebook and Instagram respectivelyThe Blessings of Life Podcast on Apple podcasts and Spotify!
