What if this draft class is perceived as good because a limited number of fortunate individuals were able to keep playing hockey during the coronavirus event, and now those individuals are substantially better than their peers, but are actually behind previous draft classes in terms of development. This exists for two reasons, because coronavirus impacted them to some degree, and also, because their competition was very low having taken a year plus off.

It would be quite easy to dominate if your competition was half what it used to be, eh?

Dallas could use him. The Minnesota and Seattle matchups have shown that we are lacking some grit.

They made the NHL lottery combinations public. I don't remember them doing that before.

Tomorrow is the draft lottery

Can’t wait for the Canucks to drop 2 spots

they are going to win the lottery and pick Leo Carlsson

Rejoyce, Habs fans. I've ran a lottery simulation on Tankathon for 30 straight days, and MTL hasn't won one single time. The probabilities are now severely cranked in our favor, a win tomorrow is almost guatanteed. You're welcome.

Odds for 1st place after lottery…

1. ANA 25.5%
2. CBJ 13.5%
3. CHI 11.5%
4. SJS 9.5%
5. MTL 8.5%
6. ARI 7.5%
7. PHI 6.5%
8. WSH 6.0%
9. DET 5.0%
10. STL 3.5%
11. VAN 3.0%

Easy to pick Anaheim looking at those odds. But looking at differently…

1 = 25.5
2-3 = 25.0
4-6 = 25.5
7-11 = 24.0

…and I’m betting on a 7-11 team walking away with Bedard tomorrow.

I'm betting 7

We need this

Canucks jumping from 11 to 1 would make headlines. This is what you want Gary

If Gary were to “fix it”, I’m guessing he would pick East Coast, big market…Montreal, Philly, maybe Detroit or Chicago. As much as the hometown team would be interesting, I doubt Gary would be your ally on this one.

(I don’t think lotteries are fixed)

Bedard is going to the Blackhawks and we all know it

Wouldn’t be a bad spot. Would rather see him in Pacific…ANA, SJS, VAN.

I want him in either Vancouver or as far away from Vancouver as possible. Bedard in Van is the best outcome for the league.

We have notoriously bad lottery luck if you know history
