With today's horrific loss of a complete hockey team in a very elite league... I wonder if the NFL has a plan in place should God Forbid something happen to an NFL team.

I think I remember reading somewhere about a draft being implemented from other teams current rosters should a large number of MBL players be killed and or injured from one team?

Wonder what the NFL's plan would be, or if it is even formulated.

It was the complete team? I read differently. I need to work on my damn reading comprehension.

I doubt the NFL or many leagues have any such plan.

EDIT- oops.
I thought the Phoenix team folded or something like that. Now that I read the story I feel more stupid than usual.

I think Zero is right. nothing in place but with an emergency meeting they can put something together fairly quickly.

The story.. some confusion on whom was on the plane, but all but one of the counted is deceased.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/Russian-jet-carrying-KHL-hockey-team-crashes-ex-NHL-players-dead-090711?gt1=39002 

The plane was carrying the Lokomotiv ice hockey team from Yaroslavl to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, where the team was to play Thursday against Dinamo Minsk in the opening game of the season for the Kontinental Hockey League. The ministry said the plane had 45 people on board, including 37 passengers and eight crew. But other reports put the number of crew at nine.

There were conflicting reports about the fates of at least two players. AFP reported Ruslan Salei, the hard-hitting former Red Wings defensemen, may have traveled to his native Belarus earlier. But Sovetsky Sport said Salei was on the casualty list.

In addition, player Alexander Galimov, who reportedly suffered burns over 90 percent of his body, was initially listed as a survivor, then reported dead, then reported by doctors as still alive but in very critical condition.

Estimates of the number of those aboard ranged from 45 to 47 with the league's official website saying 45.




As far as the NFL having an emergency plan.. I don't know what else you could do other than suspend play, kick in whatever the said disaster calls for in terms of support for the team and families of players and coaches. Thinking back to reading the reports and complete devastation of the Marshall program after it tragic event.. the league and games are inconsequential.

Didn't a plane go down in Poland back in the 80's? Olympic boxers? I know Evansville IN basketball players died in an accident in the late 70's. Seems we never really forget these kinds of accidents.

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
