GDT: NHL 2023 draft 🎲 lottery 🎲 5pm PT, ESPN - Ducks will select 2nd overall

[George Binks]

It's pretty wild Chicago weren't even docked draft picks for the stuff that has come out there.

While Arizona lost a first rounder for asking about players diet in interviews outside the combine.

Bettman’s team

 

[Leonardo87]

We were rooting to get the one of the "best of the rest" now we get first pick of that tier. This is still a good thing.

Just disappointing that Chicago of all organizations are the one to win.

Fantilli is gonna be a Franchise player. I’m fine, just annoyed Chicago got the 1stOA again.

 

[HanSolo]

Everything will be OK, guys, can you imagine if he went to SJS?!? Ducks will be just fine, but yes of course it's frustrating how it went down

I'd rather he go to the Sharks. They may be rivals they may have more games to have Bedard f***ing both of my teams up, but to our knowledge they never covered for a player rapist in their organization. f*** the Chicago Blackhawks. This was the least deserved result possible.

 

[Trojans86]

If we got Bedard we would’ve been sooo small and soft. Fantili May end up being a better fit with our needs and all of the small skill guys we already have.

 

[Leonardo87]

Fellas, we got F’d again.

 

[Rasp]

At least we get to choose our guy

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

So do we make a Carlsson vs Fantilli thread now? or

 

[Ducks]

Fantilli is going to be one hell of an Anaheim Duck. He really brings a type of game that nobody else on the team has. I'm very excited to have him on the team.

 

[ORRFForever]

It's only 60% cope when I say that Fantilli fits our needs better anyway.

Let's hope Fantilli can spell "intense".

Joking aside, Fantilli will be great.

 

[Terry Yake]

the league was never going to have bedard in anaheim. excited for fantilli but it's f***ing pathetic that the hawks win 3 cups, all the beach stuff, and go right from kane/toews to bedard

must be nice to have that kind of luck

 

[All Mighty]

Chicago is the one team I least wanted him to go to. Recent dynasty, horrible scandal, and complete shell of a hockey team at the moment.

 

[jiggsawpuzzle35]

God, I knew those scumbags would get the first. Let’s pray to god Bedard ends up like Patrik Stefan. Probably a 99% chance that happens.

 

[AngelDuck]

If we got Bedard we would’ve been sooo small and soft. Fantili May end up being a better fit with our needs and all of the small skill guys we already have.

I'm a bigger Fantilli fan than anyone here. He's the obvious choice at 2 IMO.

But this logic just doesn't make any sense. The best fit is the best player. Bedard was the prize

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

On the plus side... i think how the team is built

fantilli and Carlsson are prob better fits in terms of the team

 

[Rybread86]

Not surprised, called it when all the tank discussions even started but still disappointing. The curse continues

 

[Goose of Reason]

I think it will be Fantilli and I'm over the moon about that. Just not the f***ing Kyle Beach team getting Bedard. f*** that.

 

[McDonald19]

More pissed he went to Chicago then that the DUcks didn't get him. Glad the Ducks will get their guy at 2 though.

Yeah, Bedard as a CBJ would have been fine with me.

 

[Ducks in a row]

I knew for a long time we wouldn't draft 1st overall that is only part of why I didn't want Ducks finishing dead last. So depressed from this past season with Ducks finishing dead last and made worse by a number of Ducks fans wanting them to and then being so happy when they did.

 

[HanSolo]

I'm legitimately more upset about Chicago winning than I am about not getting Bedard. The tease sucked too but them of all teams.

 

[AngelDuck]

Runner ups in the Crosby and Bedard drafts. Unf***ingbelievable

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I wouldn't be half as pissed if it were CBJ, but it had to be f***ing chicago who the league turned a blind eye to all the bullshit that went on there, and then didn't even punish them whatsoever and once again they just happen to get something to resurrect their franchise

 

[Mr Rogers]

Crazy that the Ducks actually did win a lottery just the wrong one.

 

[George Binks]

Don’t bullshit me and tell me if Chicago finished last we would have jumped them.

 

[Leonardo87]

This is why I F’ing hate Tanking!!!!!
