There's no simple answer to your question, just like there's no quick solution to the problem of inequality. But one premise you've mentioned isn't quite correct. The democratic party hasn't really been "ruling" for most of that time. They've controlled the presidency, yes. But for all except 2 years, they haven't controlled Congress (it's been either divided or republican controlled), and they haven't controlled the supreme court. That said, a lot of Democrats are still happy to push the status quo, and there's plenty of warranted criticism to go around.

Guess I was wrong and many of them did get drafted. Will be some great hockey to watch for sure.

The dude that beat up his girlfriend and got kicked off his college team? Gross.

It's not quite that. It's the players from the PWHPA that will fill the teams, possibly management from the PHF is involved though. Almost none, if any, of the PHF players will get signed for the new league. The hockey will be great to watch but it's unfortunate how poorly they handled the end of the PHF...players signing 50-100+K contracts right up until the day the league folded. Harsh business i guess.

You're probably right, but this part confused me: "⁴Total data allotment is provided upfront for the 90-day subscription plan at time of purchase. Data usage resets every 90 days upon auto-renewal of your subscription. "

So are you given 90GB of data every 3 months?

It looks like it's 30GB for every 90 days...10GB per month. Or am I reading the terms wrong?

Hmm...it also says at the bottom Quebec residents only

It's not fully random after seeds 1-4. I believe 5-8 occupy the same 4 spots in the draw, but they are random drawn across those spots. Then 9-16 is another random draw across 8 spots and so on. The randomness prevents players from seeing the same matchups all the time if their rankings were to stay the same. It also prevents match fixing to avoid or set a particular matchup. Say #30 matched up poorly against #3, so they deliberately lost a prior match to drop to 31 and get a different matchup. It would be bad for the sport if that was allowed to happen.
