The NHL draft lottery is tonight and the winning franchises course will forever be changed.
I'm hoping its Buffalo. I will be disappointed if it's Edmonton and Arizona doesn't deserve a superstar.

2I hope the Flyers get him. I dislike them the least of the draft lottery teams.
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
3I hope Buffalo gets him. They're still in disarray. They'll be like Edmonton for at least a couple more years. If not, I hope Edmonton gets him.
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
4My main reason for Buffalo is the fan base deserves him.
They support the hell out of that team. It's a great hockey town.

6Edmonton gets McJesus. You have to be kidding me.
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
7What an F'n joke. An absolute shit franchise that doesn't deserve that at all .
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
8God, that makes me want to puke. Well, maybe we can pry one of the other young studs away from them now. How about Carl Gunnarson for Taylor Hall???

9I was hoping an Eastern Conference team would win the damn lottery.
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
10I feel bad for Buffalo fans. At least Eichel isn't a terrible consolation prize at all.
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
11I take consolation in the fact that Kevin Lowe will burn in hell for all eternity.
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
12If that franchise has any kind of clue (we obviously have seen NO sign that they do), they will fire that shit bum and hire a real GM that could actually trade off some of their excess young talent and fill some holes.BluesSK wrote:I take consolation in the fact that Kevin Lowe will burn in hell for all eternity.

I'm glad I'm not one of the few Coyotes fans. There's a BIG difference between picking 2 and picking 3 this year.
I also feel bad for McDavid. No franchise can ruin this kid but I'm sure they will give it their best shot.
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
14McDavid looked like he was less than overwhelmed : )

I thought the EXACT same thing. I wasn't sure if it was just the emotions of the moment all hitting him or he was that disappointed. He looked bummed.
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
16As soon as I heard they won, the first thought I had was "Now I know where I want to send Berglund." I'm wondering what we would need to add to Berglund, Gunnarsson, and our 2nd to get Draisaitl, one of their B level young D and their 2nd.Matangama wrote:God, that makes me want to puke.

Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
17And there you have it... keep on rewarding inept management, and punishing the kids who work their asses off to be the best that they can be.
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
18Well at least we know that Edmonton will be doing some wheeling and dealing in the offseason. Can't believe McDavid is an Oiler.....unreal.

21Can I just add the way they presented the results was incredibly lame and anti climatic.
But, it's the NHL so why am I surprised?

22He seemed to be trying not to say anything negative about Edmonton, but you could almost see the wheels turning in his mind...."Gotta talk to my agent and see if we can force a trade."wizard pork sword wrote:barnburner wrote:McDavid looked like he was less than overwhelmed : )

I don't think I've ever seen a #1 pick in any sport who looked more depressed.
Re: Someone's entire future course is about to change
23Based on this interview from earlier in the year with Bob McKenzie, he won't be trying to force any trade. Feels pretty strongly about the draft process. I do wonder if might regret these comments now though.

24I just wonder if we see a Lindros here....
I hope he does, just because i'm sick of seeing Edmonton with the #1 pick.
