anyone who doesn't think the Blackhawks will end up with the 1st overall pick hasn't been paying attention.

f***ing can never count Edmonton out with the firepower they have. Detroit should have had that gameAnyone have ARZ beating Tampa 1-0 in a SO?
EDM loses in a SO 5-4.
Sadly I agree. I hope he goes to Columbus or Philly.
Imagine if Florida misses out and they win the lotto and Bedard goes to Montreal?

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
Anyone who thinks the Blackhawks will automatically end up with the 1st overall pick hasn't been paying attention to how the draft lottery works. It's called a lottery. It works like the lottery. You know, with the ping pong balls?
It's like saying "anyone who doesn't think my crazy aunt Bettie will win this $1000 scratcher hasn't been paying attention".

There’s about a 75% chance Chicago does not win the lottery.

Good for Maatta, hopefully he's finally found his consistency

I'll order you a red cap and a Speedo.
Haha, they did that during the last Kings game vs Buffalo. They showed a service dog on the jumbotron, everyone cheered, and then as soon as play began the Kings scored a goal. They showed the dog again and everyone went crazy and then they alternated between the dog and Buffalo fans with the same boos and cheers.

How could Blake have known?
If any of Chicago, Arizona, Montreal or any team with terrible odds wins, people will cry conspiracy.
The oft cited reason for Chicago bias is the 2007 Kane draft, but it’s conveniently forgotten that in 2004, Chicago fell from #2 and missed out on Malkin (considered to be a much better prospect than Kane) and ended up with Cam Barker.
Ernst & Young runs the draft lottery process, they are one of the big four accounting firms with a client list that makes the NHL look like a mom&pop burger joint. If anyone thinks they are risking their reputation to place unproven 18 year old kids in certain markets you are nuts.

Still want to live in that alternate universe where the Kings win the McDavid lottery a year after winning the Cup

he's referring to the fact that the league would prefer certain teams to win the lottery ie new york.

I'll just point you to the Rangers and Blackhawks moving up 10 spots in the lottery. then there was the draft where they went from 5th to 1st and got Kane.

Nah, screw the Blackhawks for the Kyle Beach situation. The last thing that franchise needs is to be rewarded
