I'm unfamiliar with the Nick saga, so maybe that plays a part in why I don't quite understand what makes dupe accounts some unforgivable sin that automatically renders a user permabanned while (at least, I'd think) more harmful bannable offenses such as flaming and disruptive behavior aren't.
It doesn't quite follow that someone that got banned for circumnavigating a 2-week suspension over some dumb stuff is automatically disqualified but someone who got a banhammer over being belligerent (and frankly, IMO you'd have to be a special kind of :censored: to get banned over belligerence here) isn't.
Well Dallas is a Next Six team, while Minnesota was a Next Six market. Buffalo, Vancouver, Edmonton, and the Isles are all old teams. The Canes and Jets are pretty minimal, but look more clean than traditional. The Panthers look like ass and should be more interesting though.
