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

You have bad morals.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Just glad we don't have a potential McDavid Jr in Anaheim.

You get Fantilli or Carlsson instead
(personally fantilli is my preference)

 

[KCbus]

Serious question; apologies if it's already been addressed. Did they screw up the Columbus reveal on Canadian TV also, or was it just the "Worldwide Leader?"

 

[DangeRouss]

if you wanted more proof that this league is laughing at you...

The guy that is dancing happily after winning a free coffee while everyone else around him just saw something horrible happen on the news.

People are clueless, they don't get that drafting top 5 in this draft is just crazy good.

Bedard is clearcut #1, not much separation between #2 and 5 IMO.

I personally have Michkov as a clearcut #2 talent wise, but I have no insight on the Russia situation/etc.

Wait till you watch Fantili play…

 

[SimpleJack]

The Blackhawks are a classy organization and this is well deserved.

I know right I can’t believe we had to suffer through those long 7 years of ineptitude. Our fans deserve another mini-dynasty by now for sticking around.

 

[Ezekial]

When is the soonest Bedard can sign with Vancouver?

Depends on if he signs his ELC

 

[Stlblues87]

What are you talking about?

Have you been living under a rock?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Didn't they stop doing that after the Rangers one?

Probablyh because you could see it was fixed. Toronto's ball was 3/4 of the way up the chute when the magnet pulled it back down.

 

[Brodeur]

Wasn't the league supposed to release the video or show the video of the balls being picked this year?

Didn't they stop doing that after the Rangers one?

They released the actual drawing a little after the TV reveal last year. (The drawing begins around the 11 minute mark)

 

[TheBeard]

Reichel is a top player. Just need another winger and they have a 1st line.

A little premature to annoint anyone with 34 games a top player and the sheer fact you can't even name another winger on that team tells me they're gonna ruin Bedard and I'm all for it.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Hope he channels his inner lindros come d day

lol get real, this is like the best possible outcome for him. He's gonna be a mega-superstar in Chicago.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Wait, you think getting rid of the police is a BAD idea?

Getting rid of police and doing absolutely nothing else is a bad idea. Using a significant portion of the massive funding police get and giving it to social services; such as mental health, addiction rehab, public housing, etc. is a great idea and far better than just giving the police a huge budget.

 

[Eggtimer]

mathematically, it's impossible, proving this was rigged and not random.

Please show us your math that’s shows it was rigged

 

[Michoulicious]

I say Montreal goes with Dvorsky. They love the player. Big 2-way. Michkov goes 6-7

If they pick frickin Kotkaniemi 2.0 while Michkov is available I'll scream.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Chicago was the last place I wanted him to end up, but we're just gonna make stuff up huh? Because this is so far from the truth lol

 

[Bizzare]

Ya, but as soon as Chicago moved, we knew they won right? Why do they act like Anaheim still had a chance?

There is two drafts, one for 2nd and 1 for first that Chicago could have won.

 

[Canucks LB]

Bedard would be the most popular player in the league if he refuses to play in Chicago.

 

[Ducks in a row]

This is why I hate draft lotteries because their is always some suspicion that things are rigged of which I totally believe does happen. Just give pick by standings.

[ScottishCanuck]

Chicago winning it doesn’t necessarily upset me. It’s audited.

NJ and Arizona rightly having to forfeit picks but literal sexual assault being excused in Chicago for purely commercial reasons upsets me though. Spineless on the part of the NHL and really not a good look.

 

[GMR]

Please show us your math that’s shows it was rigged

Why would it be hard to rig the lottery? This isn't the World Series.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Now i kinda want chicago to trade up with the 20th pick, if michkov starts to fall a bit and get Michkov + Bedard
