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

[MikeyMike01]

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer franchise

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

The most deserving franchise won the draft. Karma is real!

Chicago is a haven for scum and filth.

 

[ijuka]

The Oilers didn't cover up rape.

Sorry but, how do you know? I mean, you wouldn't if it was covered up, right?

 

[CJV123]

in the NFL the Dolphins lost a FRP for calling Tom Brady on the phone during the offseason. the Blackhawks protected a rapist and did not lose this pick.

 

[kingsholygrail]

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

The draft lottery is taped ahead of time. It's not live. Weekes was an idiot for breaking kayfabe.

 

[NHL Fanatik]

Nah, f*** him. Bust city.

Thats lame as f***. Bedard has nothing to do with Chicago's scumbaggedrie

 

[Kranix]

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

I know. It's just funny he blew it.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Bettman approves

 

[notsocommonsense]

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

Ha, I’m of the same mindset but I’ll cheer for him to succeed while cheering for Chicago to fail and hope that he somehow finds his way out of there

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

 

[Bizzare]

As a Habs fan, I'm SO STOKED!!!

100% chances of getting one of Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson, Michkov or Smith.

This is a GREAT DAY!!!

100% chance of getting Fantilli, Carlsson, Michkov or Smith. There you go

NHL: "Lottery prevents tanking"

Also NHL: *rewards the most blatant tank job in the cap era with a generational talent*

 

[Green]

And this is why teams shouldn't be rewarded for trying to be bad, give every non playoff team the same percentage chance to win the lottery and even give the playoff teams a small percentage to win, just exclude the team who won a cup

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

I don't know about the rigged accusations, but I will tell you being a Jackets fan that there was not a doubt in my mind that they were not going to let Bedard go to Columbus. It's so depressing being a Jackets fan.

 

[NHL Fanatik]

I was so perplexed. Definitely the biggest rigging in a long time.

But the salt makes it worthwhile honestly.

The drawing is done prior to the show. Could be rigged I guess but not for the reason you're thinking

 

[King Karl]

Nah. Don't wish that on someone who is by all accounts a nice young man. Just hope he has no team success in Chicago and requests a trade.

Okay I'll revise to a Lindros without the concussions.

 

[Icarium]

NHL: You guys were sick of Eastern teams getting the 1OA all the time, be careful what you wish for next time.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Lol. Gotta be trolling.

Prob a zegras hater.

 

[MNRube]

Bedard deserves better, what a farce

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

This thread:

"what do I do guys I'm running out of tinfoil and everything's closed!!!!!!!"

 

[Michoulicious]

100% chance of getting Fantilli, Carlsson, Michkov or Smith. There you go

Even Fantilli is probably gone at #5... Smith, Carlsson or Michkov is an interesting debate.

I'm pro Michkov, he's #2 on my list.

 

[MardyBum]

Great market for Bedard, but god damn lol

 

[Mr Positive]

Bettman approves

if Bettman rigged it, Bedard would be a Coyote

 

[awfulwaffle]

What a freaking joke.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I don't know about the rigged accusations, but I will tell you being a Jackets fan that there was not a doubt in my mind that they were nit going to let Bedard go to Columbus. It's so depressing being a Jackets fan.

If it makes you feel better... we got 2nd in bedard and crosby drafts : |
