2023 NHL Draft June 28 and 29, Nashville, TN (Selections - 13, 39, 45, 86, 109, 141, 173, 205)

[HOOats]

Ran 10 simulations of the lottery. Buffalo moved down twice.

Philly won 3x, Montreal 2x, Vancouver 2x... no one else won more than twice. One of the Vancouver moves was also to 2 instead of 1 (Montreal moved up to 1).

Please no Montreal, that would be insufferable.

Philly might actually be kind of fun. I still don't think they'll be any good or a fly in our ointment for a number of years even with Bedard. But he'd still be in the east. And honestly, I don't really like him already, so the Flyers could be a fun rival again.

I Did it twice and got us moving up on the second go around so it evens out

I'm hoping somewhere in the West. If it's anywhere in the East, Columbus.

No you're right, Philly sports has had their fun lately. If he ends up in the East, it's going to start feeling like all the young star QBs piling up in the AFC.

We just need Power to start training hits with Milano.

Up to Reinbacher or Pellikka safe zone, I'd be happy

Don't think that exists?

We're either drafting a franchise forward, or we'll praying for a good fall at 13.

Is this usually over pretty quick or do they drag it out?

It should be spread out over two days. Wait, three days for the top 3!!!

 

[HOOats]

Just feeling the need to put this out into the universe one more time...NO MONTREAL.

 

[Weltschmerz]

we are minutes away from the start ....

The winning GM should get to come on stage and bear hug Gary Bettman.

Will Bedard end up with a thousand yard stare after the draft...a la McDavid?
