We'll still kill it and get an awesome player that nobody cares about until they hit the ice full of win. Just would have been nice to have an extra thing to celebrate going into the offseason we've dropped 4 times..other then phx no one has dropped more then twice Thank god for scouting and JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) To be honest..... I am slightly less happier that Chicago got 3rd than Colorado getting 4th It is bad enough they get the 4th Did I say that right? MMMM...….ok, I am just not happy!

Darius Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Maybe next year we barely miss the playoffs and 50 years of not being gifted a top pick adds up to a Lafreniere caliber reimbursement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah getting robbed at gunpoint on the daily and having to call insurance cause your wheels where stolen from your car again in Newark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry we had and 84% chance of picking 9-12 and that is where we ended up. Really? There is tens of millions of dollars at stake for the NHL team winners. I agree that is where odds said we should land. But the NHL has just done so many shady things over many years that it invites scrutiny. And its not like multi billion dollar companies have never tried to scam the public. I would list the examples but they are too numerous to mention. I am not saying the NHL is 100% corrupt. But it sure would not surprise me. And people that say "they would never do that" are just naive imo. But whatever. We got 10th and hopefully JB finds a gem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I think Chicago jumping us & getting #3 is the worst part. 3 Stanley Cups this decade & now another draft lotto win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefit of the league =/= benefit of Ernst & Young. If the draft was truly corrupt McDavid wouldn't be an Oiler.

If the draft lottery was in any way rigged there is no ****ing chance McDavid goes to Edmonton, and there is no way Arizona born Auston Matthews goes to Toronto. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is way more tense flipping the cards from 15 on then some accountants checking excel sheets and saying the winning team name softly that barely anyone can hear.

Every team is there for the draw and it's done by an accounting firm and gone over by lawyers galore. The Canucks fell right where the odds put them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
