ILL BILL NECRO Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 4 minutes ago, King Heffy said: Yeah, cause the email scandal, nepotism, and continued employment of Kelly Sutherland paints a picture of a league acting with the utmost integrity... The NHL has earned every bit of doubt they are getting due to repeated misconduct. Im not disputing any of that... The results speak for themselves, if it was rigged the big players would win all the time but they have not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baer. Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Each team has a representative there to make sure nothing happens. As for weighted/modified balls, there's no way to really know, unless you actually inspect each one yourself with a scale and measuring tool. The balls could also be manufactured by a non-biased third party, and each ball is assigned a team by random, rather than in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Boston, but in that loser top 14, if anyone deserves the 1st overall pick, it would be us, Boston, Winnipeg, calgary, etc. Just not the Oilers.

Its not 1 ball per team. Its more like lotto 649. And each team has hundreds of tickets. Too many combos to rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I clicked on this thread wondering if I'd find any rampant paranoia. Sure glad that I didn't see any. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZimX5Zi54Bo #29 Tappara (blue) Holy smokes. Laine is awesome. The speed, size, determination, strong on the puck, can hit, wicked shot, relentless. This is the Power Forward the Canucks need on their top line.

You can still rig a team's ball(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm expecting us to draft 6th OA to save myself from disappointment. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Instead of 14 teams having a chance to draft first OA, I'd rather the top 5 teams have a shot at first OA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team has no luck so I am thinking more about prospects in the 5-6 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder which group JB is putting Dubois into though? 4-6 or 7-10? Dubois will probably be gone by the time 7 comes around. 6th spot could be a toss up between Nylander or Juolevi.

So four or five then? That sounds like Chychrun might be a faller? Matthews Finn Finn Dubois Tkatchuk Juolevi Nylander then Chychrun, or could he drop even more?

Go Faulk Yourself Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I think it's hilarious that people have to continue digging further even after that video as to how the draft lottery can be rigged by weighted balls of all things. Next you're going to tell me the machine rigs what balls get sucked in what order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Red Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Tkatchuk or trade down for Sergachev IF we're out of the top 3. I'll be so wrapped up in Game of Thrones that this week will fly by. Happy to be alive. EDIT: An acknowedgement of Earth Day, I hope everyone take just a minute to realize how lucky we are to live in this beautiful province. Hug a tree, kiss a bee.
