Taro T Posted May 8, 2023 Report Posted May 8, 2023 4 hours ago, dudacek said: Highest the Sabres can get to under the new rules is 3rd. IF the Sabres won the lottery and moved up to 3 (or if any of the teams between 12 and 16 won) presumably they'd stay at 3 (or their new draft position were it one of the other longshots that won) when the winner of the 2nd lottery gets chosen, right? So, the team that had been 2nd overall would then fall to 4 if neither of the bottom 2 teams wins that second lottery, right? One additional Q, if that team that wins the 2nd lottery is close enough to the 1st overall pick to get there would they get the 1st overall or just 2nd overall. Expecting it's just 2nd overall but don't know that for certain. Quote

SabresBillsFan Posted May 9, 2023 Report Posted May 9, 2023 It better not be Chicago. ***** them. Yes they were bad but the tank job was on purpose. They need to feel the pain. 1 Quote
sweetlou Posted May 9, 2023 Report Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) I hate the draft lottery... Heaven forbid a big city like Chicago go through a rebuild. They need ticket sales and to be in playoff contention every year, and the NHL wants to make money. This is as bad as the Crosby win for Pittsburgh. Edited May 9, 2023 by sweetlou 1 Quote
Kronsteen Posted May 9, 2023 Report Posted May 9, 2023 What a shock that the original six team who just lost their last first pick moves up to first pick. Quote

They just lost BOTH of their icon players, Toews and Kane. I hate that they won this. Ugh. Luckily even Bedard alone won’t be able to turn that franchise around. They will need to keep tanking a few more years. Which they probably will. 1 Quote

SabresBillsFan Posted May 9, 2023 Report Posted May 9, 2023 That’s *****. Chicago you just won the cup how many years ago. They needed to feel the pain Quote
Dr. Who Posted May 9, 2023 Report Posted May 9, 2023 It really does feel fixed. Fella revealing the picks even had the Ducks card backwards, adding ridiculous insult to injury. Sabres miss out on McDavid, get the sulky Boston Eichel, and get lambasted for tanking, but it will all be laughs and congratulations for an original six. Quote
thewookie1 Posted May 9, 2023 Report Posted May 9, 2023 Happy, only because my Dad is a big Blackhawks fan so I'm happy for him. Good also because he's out west 1 Quote

He won’t impact hockey games to that level, but he will be a really good player. I won’t predict enshrinement into the HOF yet though. Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted May 9, 2023 Report Posted May 9, 2023 To me it’s a big drop off from Bedard and the rest of the draft. Quote

Crusader1969 Posted May 9, 2023 Author Report Posted May 9, 2023 Just like everything the NHL does , what a a chintzy production. The league needs Gary to retire and get someone who has some progressive ideas in charge 2 Quote
GoPuckYourself Posted May 9, 2023 Report Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) As long as it wasn't Montreal is what I've been saying all along. Like Mark Messier just said, Bedard doesn't necessarily mean a cup anytime soon, it's been 8 years and McDavid still hasn't won a cup. Edited May 9, 2023 by GoPuckYourself 1 1 Quote
Randall Flagg Posted May 9, 2023 Report Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) 7 minutes ago, That Aud Smell said: Agreed This worry is always overstated to me McDavid and Draisaitl are both probably better players than Bedard will be, and the two of them led their team to a playoff series with home ice advantage just one time in their first six years (not counting covid crap since I don't know what the heck was happening there and the canadian division was garbage) Chicago has nothing right now Edited May 9, 2023 by Randall Flagg 2 Quote
