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

[6ix]

Congrats hawks fans

 

[Kimota]

Davidson is a faking imbecile. Condoloences to Bedard. Hold out to go to a real team Connor.

I wished guys would do this more often. McDavid should have done that.

 

[Breakers]

The least deserving trash organization won

 

[Galactico]

Congrats Chicago, fully deserved!

 

[ujju2]

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

That is in fact true.

 

[H3ckt1k]

Hopefully Chicago doesn't try to ruin this young mans life for no reason as well

 

[Chainshot]

Anaheim intentionally tanked, so karma

Did you see the goaltending tandem and forwards the Hawks rolled out?

 

[KCC]

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

I think most people know this already but people want it live so they know it's "not rigged". lol. I would be fine with it honestly. Maybe it would shut people up.

 

[mkatcherin00]

RIGGED! Weeksy knew the CBJ pick BEFORE he flipped the card. Unreal

Maybe Daly just told him and Weekes asked, but messed up anyways and let it slip lol

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

So.... there's no real reason not to do a live draw, right?

I'm out of the loop here. Did something f'd up happen? Sorry, watching the latest episode of Succession (there's more important shit to watch vs this, I can find out later, but sounds like some kind of drama is going down?)

 

[centipede2233]

Anaheim finishing 2nd in the Crosby and bedard drafts…yikes!

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Gutted for teams who legit have not been able to find success. Columbus and Arizona I was rooting for you.

Don’t over think it Columbus, draft Leo.

 

[Kcb12345]

I hate that I have to hope Bedard somehow busts or doesn't hit his potential now

 

[Daz28]

This might be the most corrupt thing that's ever happened in sports, besides the rigged World Series. The most ridiculous part is that it won't even be discussed. The league will just pretend it never happened. Just ridiculous

 

[behemolari]

And folks, if this was rigged, Arizona would win it. They are doing everything to get them to improve. Too bad for them

are you serious, this is rigged as it can be, they have no time to rebuild Chicago from the start and losing important marketing

 

[Aoko]

I think lower

Definitely lower.

 

[SimpleJack]

Let the hate flow from the other teams fans.

I love it!

I want you to be MAD!

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Poor Jackets have no luck with lottery’s.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I think lower

Yeah I post here which alone brings it down another 5 points.

 

[Agalloch]

1. Chicago - Bedard
2. Anaheim - Fantili
3. Columbus - Carlsson or Smith

 

[tvillewr4]

Guys, a sports franchise isn't a real entity. The "Chicago Blackhawks" didn't do anything. It's an abstract.

The humans culpable for the Kyle Beach situation don't work there anymore. The logo on the jersey wasn't part of the cover up.

Other places I would have preferred to see Bedard end up but an original 6 franchise and a good sports city having a generational superstar isn't the worst thing.

It’s fairly well known that the owners were in the meetings that buries the story… so there’s that

 

[heynowbababooey]

Hopefully Chicago doesn't try to ruin this young mans life for no reason as well

They've already ruined so many lives by covering up rape cases.

 

[Ezekial]

Im fine Chicago being nuked by Putin after this

Can you tell Putin to let the Chicago Red Wings fans know before he does it, although it is a beautiful city in the summer.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

I guess the obvious ask here is does Chicago go hard after Matthews if he makes it to free agency?

Bedard and Matthews would be a watchable duo.

Feel bad for CBJ, ANA and ARI fans, happy MON missed out after hearing them pray to the gods for FLAs pick to be top 3.

 

[Svencouver]

To be honest, I would have no problem with it being rigged this year. They should have rigged it specifically against the Hawks.
