GDT: 2023 Draft Lottery - 8PM ET - ESPN, Sportsnet, TVAS: Chicago #1, Anaheim #2, Columbus #3

[The Gr8 Dane]

Why do they not openly talking about the covered rape allegations on live tv on espn they really should

 

[Daximus]

:coyotes
Asks prospects what they ate and to wear shorts? Forfeit draft picks


Cover up sexual assault and lie your asses off? Have a Bedard

Actual joke league.

 

[North Cole]

Idk what’s better….landing Bedard or salivating in the misery of all these salty fans from other teams.

Welcome to being an EDM fan.

 

[Yatzhee]

This was completely transparent and fair. Each lottery ball was openly inspected on international television for the entire world to.......oh wait

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

There's no physical proof that Chicago tanked this year. They just sucked.

As opposed to other bad teams?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

This has nothing to do with tanking or incompetence or whatever. Chicago doesn't deserve him because they are a dirt bag organization off the ice.

the Oilers didn't "deserve" McDavid but thems the breaks

 

[Not Sure]

Edmonton's a big city?

For hockey it is. Weren't they building a new arena when they got McDavid?

 

[SimpleJack]

Its been a long seven years we deserve this

Amen brother. Lol! All that waiting gonna pay off.

 

[Agalloch]

Weekes said Columbus didn't win it before they even did the top 3

He knew it before because it's not live. Nothing to see here, Bedard to Chicago!!

 

[wonton15]

I can barely sweep my excitement under the rug that Chicago won

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

The irony coming from an Oilers fan and their 7 1st overall picks

Yes. Because previously getting a 1OA is totally the same as the coaching staff raping players.

 

[NTDP]

I am amazed at how they f***ed that up...

I know and I’m a CBJ guy. So that whole commercial I’m like WTF. Doesn’t change anything but would have like the suspense a little more. Just as a pure fan of the game

 

[supermann_98]

Absolute bullshit. The least deserving team. There is no way in hell you can tell me the NHL did not rig this. f*** that organization.

After all the PR nightmare the Hawks put the NHL through why the hell would the league rig the draft to give them Bedard? Makes zero sense

 

[Moose Head]

They got Fantilli which isn’t a bad consolation prize.

Im betting they’re better than the Hawks the next 10 years.

Also, Columbus is just one unlucky franchise. Other than the Bolts upset, has anything ever gone their way?

 

[ijuka]

Just not Montreal lmao

? They picked first last year.

Maybe you just forgot since they completely blew it with the pick.

Looking sharp

 

[Video Nasty]

When the order didn’t change until the third pick, I did have that funny feeling lol.

It is what it is. As a fan of the sport and the players first over any one team, it looks like I’ll be tuning in to a lot of Chicago games for the foreseeable future.

 

[nucks88]

I need that jersey with Bedard asap!!!

Just go to Chicago and steal one….

 

[The Marquis]

Anybody who doesn’t think the draft is rigged at this point is out of their goddamned minds.

 

[ujju2]

the Oilers didn't "deserve" McDavid but thems the breaks

The Oilers didn't cover up rape.

 

[Cowumbus]

Yeah it’s not like Vegas or Seattle have had any early success at all…they sure seem to be struggling don’t they….

Yeah, Seattle and Vegas are really struggling... oh wait.

Almost like they realized the expansion rules when Cbus and the Wild entered the league made it hard for those teams to compete.

 

[Ezekial]

There's no physical proof that Chicago tanked this year. They just sucked.

The physical proof is the roster they iced.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Oh my god . Read people. It’s been said numerous times . The actually lotto was already done. This was just presenting the results. An unbiased 3rd party company oversees the lotto to make sure it’s legit

Stop with the garbage. The lottery is whatever the NHL wants.

 

[Channelcat]

Why does the NHL treat us idiots. We knew it was Chicago thanks to Weekes, and then especially when Chi was missing from the order?

 

[McShogun99]

This is obviously coming from a well connected insider….
