GDT: 2023 NHL Draft Lottery - 5:00pm (AZ) - ESPN

[The Feckless Puck]

F***ing rigged.

This is worse than Edmonton getting McDavid.

 

[Summer Rose]

f***.

 

[0point1]

F'ing joke of league.

 

[Sinurgy]

Don't worry everyone, Chicago didn't build any winning culture this year, tanking ruined them.

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

CHI getting first overall is a f***ing crime!

 

[XX]

Absolutely rigged. First Crosby to Pittsburgh to save them, then Bedard to Chicago, McDavid to Edmonton, Matthews to Toronto.

Organizational caste system at play

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Just in time to replace Patrick Kane.

This is unbelievably stupid. What a joke of a league.

 

[Llewzaher]

Hey at least we didn’t drop…

sucks that the rich get richer….had Kane and Towes , now Bedard

 

[OUT HOUSE]

Grats on the Sens pick. Fk Chicago.

 

[lanky]

All we did is like illegally measure some guys lol.

But we didn't have an organization-wide cover up.

 

[RABBIT]

Least we didn’t drop. What else did you expect

 

[Llewzaher]

We are still getting some awesome players…

as long as everyone does their jobs

 

[RemoAZ]

Tell me again how we don't need to sign Matthews if possible. Only way we're ever going to sniff a franchise player. Burn the whole thing to the ground and draft 6th. Hockey the Coyote way.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Maybe the NHL thought that since the East Valley is already little Chicago, they could kill two birds with one stone.

 

[Sinurgy]

Tell me again how we don't need to sign Matthews if possible. Only way we're ever going to sniff a franchise player. Burn the whole thing to the ground and draft 6th. Hockey the Coyote way.

Remember that awesome winning streak after the all-star break!!! Wasn't it awesome!!!

 

[Dead Coyote]

f***ing bullshit

Cole Eiserman next year hopefully

 

[SniperHF]

No, encourages GMs to tank. I'd rather see 17-32. Reward teams for trying.

I reject the premise that the lottery does anything significant to discourage tanking. Even at these terrible odds teams are tanking like crazy. Completely random would probably do more to discourage tanking than this stupid convoluted system they have now.

But I also reject the premise that tanking is actually bad for the league. It's bad in the MLB but the MLB has no cap so the incentives are radically different. In the NHL no one team can completely overload its roster so the talent is necessarily more distributed.

 

[Nowotny]

I wrote a long time ago that Bedard can start sleeping in Blackhawks jersey

 

[The Feckless Puck]

If there could somehow be a relegation system, that would fix it.

 

[Llewzaher]

can we add a 2nd to the 12th pick and move up..?

 

[RemoAZ]

f***ing bullshit

Cole Eiserman next year hopefully

Jesus don't even start with that. I can't take another year of tanking to be disappointed again. I'm not even going to Google Cole Eiserman. Just f***ing noooooo

 

[LuckyNumber11]

Bleh. I’m on the side of just do it 1-32. Don’t particularly care if it encourages tanking.

 

[XX]

can we add a 2nd to the 12th pick and move up..?

No point. After Bedard-Fantilli-Michkov it's wide open. And that 2nd is basically a late first.

 

[SniperHF]

Least we didn’t drop. What else did you expect

To drop ​

​

This news is too positive there must be some other shoe to drop soon. Where's Katie Strang?​

 

[GhostofTommyBolin]

No.
