Matt_T83 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I'll know Bettman rigged the NHL draft lottery if Phoenix get McDavid. The NHL still eat a big chunk of Phoenix' financial losses. The ... #%*&#% ... Bettman refuses to admit his mistake in bringing hockey to Phoenix. This has fix written all over it. In contrast, if Edmonton or TO win the 1st overall pick I'll know for sure there is no fixing of the NHL draft. With that said, a Canadian team hasn't won the cup since Bettman joined the NHL. This isn't coincidence, it's fixing of matches via referees. Someone calculated the odds that a Canadian team would have won the cup in the last 20 years based on regular season records, and the probability was like 98%. Bettman is a corrupt commissioner determined to grow the NHL in the USA at all costs, and Phoenix will win the 1st overall pick. I'm not afraid to be wrong, which is why I'm posting this now.

zombieksa Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 If Arizona gets McDavid I see Bettman pushing for relocation to get the star in a new market to jump start the teams popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 They have the second highest chances of getting him. If LA gets McDavid maybe then it's rigged, or maybe if arizona only had a 1% chance of getting him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks3322 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 damn imagine if Toronto gets him either the media would ruin him or he'll be a god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Arizona wins = rigged Toronto wins = rigged La wins = rigged Buffalo wins = embarrassing Really the nhl can't win lol. As much as I hate the Leafs, I mean they have to get him no? The Canadian teams routinely get screwed by Bettman. I wouldn't want Mcdavid in Edmonton, so yeah let Toronto have him. They'll still mess it up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdatb Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 if Arizona gets him, it just makes the conspiracy theories much stronger. It would make perfect sense as to why Bettman would want him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 How is McDavid going to Arizona any different than Crosby to Pittsburgh, Ovie to Washington, or Kane to Chicago? That's the business side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Canuckian Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 McDavid to Arizona is actually quite similar to Crosby to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh was awful for several years, Lemieux ended up owning the team because he was owed a lot of money that the team wasn't able to pay. They were a threat to be sold and relocated. Crosby magically ends up in Pittsburgh, and the franchise is saved. Arizona is terrible, a threat to be relocated, sold several times in the last few years. They NEED a player like McDavid to stay in the desert. I would not be surprised one bit if the NHL rigged the lottery to allow Arizona to win it.

Tortorella's Rant Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised at all if he went to Arizona. That's too obvious though for the conspiracy nuts. Maybe Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Arizona is my least favourite team to watch, so I'd like them to get McDavid to actually make their games worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBossy Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Seriously folks - the amount of people it would take to rig the draft and then get them to swear to secrecy would be impossible to pull off. On topic I really hope he goes to Columbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 If Leafs get Mcdavid its totally rigged. 1. MLSE is a Billionaire company. For the first time in many years fans are calling out the leafs organization, by throwing jerseys and actually placing its displeasure in MLSE 2. Shanny was involved in the NHL offices. 3. It's on CBC. Hello? 4. If Mcdavid goes to Toronto, MLSE has saved themselves and found a new way to make more money. (EG they paid bettman and will profit big time) So Leafs getting Mcdavid eqauls rigging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
