If The Season Ended Today, Which Bottom 5 Team Would You Prefer See Win The Lottery?

[Adam Spylo]

Buffalo with Edmonton getting the 2nd pick. Buffalo then trades the first overall + Bogosian for the second overall and Hall.

1.Columbus
2.Arizona
3.New Jersey
4.Carolina
5.Buffalo

I just like the CLB team a lot, they are a team going to a right direction with a clear identity on a growing market. ARI and NJ are teams with no proper number 1 C in years, its a thing i can sympatize as a Preds fan. Carolina is a team that hasnt had much of a constant success, and McDavid could make that a lot easier. Well Buffalo just because as a finn i like RR55, with Armia they would've been higher on my list. Outside the list i could tolerate Philly or Florida, if he goes elsewhere (Ottawa, Toronto or a western team), I dont like it.

To all of those saying Toronto. McDavid can not make the Air Canada Centre any more packed on game nights. He should go to a franchise like Arizona or Carolina. I would rather see him in Toronto over Edmonton though.

Personally I would be upset if McDavid ended up in a market that needed help drawing attendance or was at risk of moving. It's happened recently with Crosby going to Pittsburgh and Tavares going to the Islanders. So if Arizona wins the 1st pick without the worst record part of me would think the NHL wanted it to happen.

Coyotes but I'd rather see them get Auston Matthews

 

[Kale Makar]

Columbus, because that'd be awesome

 

[Wolf Without a Howl]

Buffalo or Arizona. Ideally, one gets McDavid and the other gets Eichel

Anybody but Buffalo, sack of **** game throwers. They had a top 2 pick last year that they purposefully sent down just to lose more games and not have him being a difference maker.

For me, Carolina and Arizona are deserving organizations, they haven't had top picks in quite some time and that could really help them out. Hell, I'd even prefer Oilers to win McDavid over the Sabres.

Breaking news: 19 year old Sam Reinhart would have ruined the Sabres tank
