Personally I am undecided Puljujarvi. We need someone to feed the puck to Boeser and Virtanen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few other flashy players at the top of the draft so I'm hoping he slips to us somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovesLikeDatsyuk Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Even if we come dead last we are not getting a #1 pick. NHL would never allow that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is tiresome constantly refuting these posts but I will do so again. The NHL has no influence on the lottery process. A top independent law firm is hired to run the lottery process. This lottery is held in private with a representative from each team present to oversee it. This law firm has zero incentive to rig any lottery as the NHL is but one small client of theirs. They will not risk their reputation and hundreds of millions in revenue to influence something as insignificant (to them) as the NHL lottery. One would think after last year's lottery that people would finally quit spouting this tired old narrative but it seems I have more faith in CDC's posters than I should.

Canuck Surfer Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Jesse Puljujarvi is the closest thing we may ever see to Jaromir Jagr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well call me crazy. You have to ask yourself what possible benefit did the NHL get in sending a generational talent to Edmonton. They could have just as easily sent McDavid to a number of choices much more attractive than Edmonton. Like I said they aren't responsible for the lottery process, an independent firm handles it. It's not a question of trust, they have no hand in choosing the lottery winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Chychrun ahead of him but Joulevi and Dubois ahead of him is a big stretch. Nylander looks like a Nicklas Bäckström in the making. Joulevi and Dubois will be solid NHLers, Nylander has the potential to be a great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his mock draft right now but said it was still early and things will change. I am with you though about Chychrun or Juolevi, they would be the guys to fill a desperate need over Nylander who i like as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I bet Toronto is gonna try hard to draft Alex Nylander. Having two swede brothers is not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
