pittsburgh

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

pittsburgh

That's next year can't make it look too obvious

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Philly deserves a break after Nolan Patrick and losing the Kane/JVR lottery when they were the worst team, and Kane going on to score the OT cup winner against them

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

It’d be awesome if Detroit finally won the lotto.

I wish it was in a better draft year though.

 

[Diglett]

It’d be awesome if Detroit finally won the lotto.

I wish it was in a better draft year though.

next year

 

[Terry Yake]

pittsburgh

that's next year so mckenna can be crosby's "successor"

 

[Dirty Mind]

Seattle Kraken will win the #1 pick! It would benefit that franchise the most imo.

 

[JoVel]

That's next year can't make it look too obvious

I'm afraid it'll look even more obvious next year.

 

[MrLunatik]

would be awesome if the Flames won the lotto and finally got their first top 2 pick... oh wait

 

[Greatzsky 99]

This is one of the Television highlights of the year
The level of outstanding production and the set is probably
unrivaled in the world of sports
Proof:

 

[Stealth JD]

It’d be awesome if Detroit finally won the lotto.

I wish it was in a better draft year though.

Would be funny, because they still wouldn’t get the top-pick being limited to a ten-spot rise.

 

[Grinner]

It’d be awesome if Detroit finally won the lotto.

I wish it was in a better draft year though.

As a Sharks fan, I'll be rooting for your Wings

James Hagens = lifelong Islanders fan

Odds of a high end draft pick being a lifelong Islanders fan = less then what it would take for someone to spontaneously combust after surviving both a lighting strike and being hit by a train

Islanders move up high enough to draft James Hagens while the Manhattan Druryites stay where they are to draft the Next Vitaly Kratvsov.

 

[Predigree]

Preds win, Barry is overwhelmed and trades our 1st OV for someone at least 35 years old and close to retirement.

 

[gary559]

If the fix was in, I'd bet on Boston.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Fingers crossed, a little prayer, thinking of four leaf clovers…

 

[miscs75]

Preds win, Barry is overwhelmed and trades our 1st OV for someone at least 35 years old and close to retirement.

Can I interest you in a 30 year old LHD named Adam Pelech? He comes with a contract that expires in 2029.

 

[MrLunatik]

If the fix was in, I'd bet on Boston.

Flames are getting a new arena, so we're gonna win. But Boston can win too.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Cinco de Mayo jaja

 

[Patty Ice]

Islanders move up high enough to draft James Hagens

If the Sharks end up 3rd, would you do 3OA and DAL 1st for NYI 1st and Dobson?

Willing to add OTT 2nd if not sweet enough.

 

[ponder719]

Hey, that’s my birthday! Gary, just a quick check-in to make sure you know a 1C is the big ticket item on my list…

 

[miscs75]

If the Sharks end up 3rd, would you do 3OA and DAL 1st for NYI 1st and Dobson?

Willing to add OTT 2nd if not sweet enough.

What would it take to add Anthony Duclair to the Sharks lineup (again)?
