Prospect Info: 2023 NHL Draft Thread

This is even more bullshit because the Hawks shouldn't have this pick. The NHL not stripping this piece of shit franchise of their picks was such bullshit

 

[Satans Hockey]

I don't give a shit about Chicago, just happy Columbus and Philly didn't win

 

[Dylan9z9]

Wrong answer. Columbus has a lot of good young players. A lot more than Chicago. They are older. And even without Bedard they will draft great player this year.

So they don't care they didn’t get Bedard ... they looked awful passed to me especially JD

 

[Emperoreddy]

Anyway back to focusing on Devils playoff hockey.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Cool that the rape team gets rewarded

This is because karma and all the other superstitious shit people go on and on about is nothing more than bullshit.

Between the Weekes slip up, the dropped Rangers ball in 2020, and the results leaking early in 2019 the NHL sure loves to give dummies fuel to shout "RiGgEd"

If anything it shows that they’re not competent enough to pull off and get away with that big of a scandal

 

[Oneiro]

Used to admire Columbus because they had teams that played hard but have to admit that the Johnny circus and the Athletic article about how Jarmo and the rest play hardball and essentially screw themselves out of resigning their own guys have me rooting against them.

Way to give away the pick before it's shown ....another NHL fix job good work Bettman you f***ing clown

If the NHL fixed lotteries, Nico would be a Flyer and Jack would be a Ranger.

 

[Dylan9z9]

You know the lottery done before the cards right? Like those cards aren’t the lottery, just the presentation.

So they can arrange them any way they want is what your saying my point exactly ...

And McDavid sure as shit wouldn't be in f***ing Edmonton

No because there’s an actual lottery where representatives from teams are in the room as witnesses and they have a professional firm running it

 

[Emperoreddy]

This is why it's bullshit Chicago got this pick, not because of it being rigged

The league usually release the “hostage video” of Bettman holding up that days newspaper and the actual drawing afterwards.

 

[Guttersniped]

I’m trying to remember did that win that knocked the Penguins out of the playoffs also knock he Blackhawks into the winning lottery position?

Columbus and Chicago both beat Pittsburgh at the end. Chicago lost a lot of games at the end of the season.

They both did actually. Here’s the last 20 games of each team.

The Ducks didn’t f*** around either, they were impossibly bad.

Which is why I’m skeptical about them being close. They were the worst team last year, their goaltending made them look better then they were. Just grotesquely bad.

Edit: Accidentally put the wrong record under Anaheim, they didn’t win shit at the end.

Did beat the Blackhawks and Blue Jackets though.

Not only is bedard not in the division but Fantilli is not either

Gaudreau-Carlsson is going to be a fun pair

 

[Guttersniped]

The NHL release the ping pong ball numbers every year, if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

Cant keep all the good players away from the shit teams that we hate.
Im just glad Filthy and the Blowjackets didn’t win the lotto.

Think how other teams feel seeing us in the 2nd round and knowing Nemec isn't here yet, Luke only just got here, and the rest of our top guys are all super young still

 

[Guttersniped]

Gaudreau-Carlsson is going to be a fun pair

I like Carlsson more than Fantilli but I admit I haven’t paid a ton of attention and could be very wrong here.

[Brodeur]

It happens every year but the post-lottery tinfoil hat crowd is especially bad after this drawing. Those folks are desperate to find a pattern or reason in an intentionally random process.
