NHL Draft Lottery: Friday June 26th, 8pm EDT

[dudacek]

Well, Lafreniere won't be in Ottawa or Detroit, so that's good news for the divison.

Of course, that probably means he's going to Montreal.

Watch, Stanley Cup and first draft pick.  What a bunch of *****.

That's not possible. 

[pastajoe]

Probably NYR, Chicago, or Montreal. They want to prop up a big city market.

[spndnchz]

He’s only 3 yrs away ??

Rangers. They'll need the tv money

[dudacek]

I bet even odds Lucas Raymond will be the Sabres pick.

[jad1]

So a "playoff" team is going to tank to get the #1 pick.  Way to address tanking NHL

[Thorner]

It'll for sure be a 9-16 ranked team. 

Hell, any team in the play in shouldn't be getting the #1 pick. Detroit is picking 4th for no earthly good reason. So dumb.

You don't trade the pick for anything but fair value but we absolutely need to shop it.

Thanks, and to Darth.  Wasn't sure how it worked and I jumped the gun.

[Huckleberry]

At this point Holtz is my pick at 8.   But I'm very intrigued by askarov.

This is very low odds but the Rangers could win the Cup and draft first.

They have Carolina’s first, who they meet in the first round.

[Randall Flagg]

Well that was the most anticlimactic thing I've ever seen. 

I'll check back in when we make the pick or the trade. Don't have the energy to watch highlights of all the possible prospects

Detroit got screwed. Royally

‪Now I have to root for teams I don’t like so they don’t get the pick. ?‬

So there's a way... except the rangers are hot garbage.

Not in the playoffs. The team has to lose the play-in round to get the 1st pick.

I don't care what Kenobi says about you.  You're alright.

[French Collection]

Here is a link to the explanation that the Rangers could win it all.

I think the nhl did it to give that first play in round more stakes.

Detroit and Ottawa's fall does help us in our division a bit. Hopefully. Ott is still going to get two good players.

[thewookie1]

I wish fans could sue the NHL for this ***tshow. This is a travesty to all the fans who wont get to see their teams play hockey until December.

[LGR4GM]

I'm just happy we only moved down 1. 

[Derrico]

So now I have to cheer for the leafs because they could easily end up with first overall if they loose play in round?  Man I’m almost done with the nhl.

It's exactly why this system is dumb. 

Imagine if matthews can't play because Covid. The Toronto gt is rusty. They get eliminated and magically win the lottery. Stupid stupid league.
