A Change of Heart ???

Well it appears that the NHL may be re-considering their stance on broadcasting the draft lottery.

TSN is reporting that "The results of the 2005 NHL Draft Lottery will be shown live on TSN Friday, July 22 at 4:00pm et on TSN."

So what exactly does this mean? I really don't know. It seems obvious that the "results" would be broadcast at some point so is this really news?

More to follow... maybe

Update

It's now confirmed that the lottery will be announced live following the board of governors meeting. The lottery will still be held behind closed doors with a newsconference announcing the draft order (30th through to 1st) NBA style.

I still think they should draw the balls live, but this is better than nothing.
