Don’t try to tell me that Kuzmenko-Pettersson-Bedard wouldn’t be the best line in hockey


Bedard is a center!!

Good luck to Anaheim, Arizona, Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, San Jose, St. Louis, and Vancouver in the lottery tonight.

Say your prayers, rub your Taylor Hall bobbleheads, and lets keep Bedard out of the Metro!

I'm about to simulate the draft lottery and then post the results of the simulation here? Why? Because why not?

Alright, here are the results of the simulation:

1 - Anaheim
2 - Montreal
3 - Columbus
4 - Chicago
5 - San Jose

Everyone else stays where they are going into the lottery

If Bedard ends up in Anaheim, it could be over for the rest of the league..

Well a lot of factors just besides him would have to happen but yes

Think of it like a puzzle, you got all the pieces just need to put them together

As if ANA ****s this up wow

Good luck Pat Verbeek

they need two of Drysdale/Zellwegger/Mintyukov to become top pair defenseman and theyll be set. Even with Bedard and the forward core they won't make the playoffs next season. The goal should be to make the playoffs in the 24-25 season.

i'll just drop this here, apropos of nothing, but, to me, the answer to "is the league front office rigging the draft lottery?" very much has a giant lit neon sign pointing to Hanlon's Razor (a.k.a. "they're not evil, they're just incompetent").

they bungle almost everything else that they're nominally in charge of; expecting them to successfully pull off the rigging of a draft lottery is a very big leap of logic to me.

(now, i also think the league should scrap the lottery and adopt the Gold Plan, because it really would just resolve so many problems, but that's neither here nor there.)

Remember to always have the lottery in slo-motion so we can detect shenanigans like the NBA

The list of NHLers who have worn #98 is short. Includes one former 1oa pick. And no one from tonight’s lottery teams.

Brian Lawton (MNS 1983-85)
Mikhail Maltsev (COL 2021-22)
Maxim Mamin (FLA 2021-22)
Victor Mete (OTT 2020-22, TOR 2023)
Jesse Puljujarvi (EDM 2016-19)
Mikhail Sergachev (TBL 2018-23)

(Useless tidbit of the day)

T-35 minutes until the lottery winner is announced. Where does everyone want Bedard to land? I want Anaheim to win, but Vancouver jumping up would be incredible. Lets go Ducks

I would break down in tears for a top three pick. Like Stanley Cup winning tears
