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 (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
