So if offered to stay at 5 you would roll the dice
17 % first or second; 58.2 % sixth or seventh

I’ll take 5 and be happy

Great question. I guess it would be let’s get the best player available so I would go for 1-2. Just the thought of an opportunity to get Misa makes me giddy

I kind of wish we could do a zoom ping pong ball meeting with everyone. Beer and Bruin fans would be great. Winning the lottery with everyone on line would be nuts.

Leverage the position to see how much number 2 wants Schaefer and pick up additional assets

This is the play. Especially if you have the Sharks and Blackhawks at 2 and 3, both of whom would kill for a franchise defenseman since they already have their center in place.

Ideally wouldn't go down past #2 unless you're absolutely certain that the team who would be sitting there would opt for Hagens or Frondell over Misa at #2. But you might be able to scare the Sharks enough into thinking that you're talking to Chicago (or vice-versa) and they'll give you their second rounder and maybe next year's first to flip picks.

It's basically what Danny Ainge did when the Celtics got the #1 pick (and history proved him right).

How could there be bad vibes?

Worst case scenario? 7. And far and away the team’s top prospect. That’s WORST case.

I’m stoked! I can’t wait!

If the Bruins ended up @7 and there’s no good Cs there, I’d almost they rather find a malcontent young top 6 C that’s already established in the league and flip it.

Team needs to take advantage of Pastas prime now. Cant pick a player that doesn’t project to pan out for 3-4 years with a ceiling of 2C imo.

Ernst & Young administer the lottery. One of the Big 4.
I highly doubt they put at risk a multi billion dollar company to fix a draft lottery.

I used to work for EY. This kind of thing is a fun prestige thing that pulls in the audit practice. But they do take the accuracy of stuff like this seriously. As someone who has worked in the Big 4 most of my career, they take firm image EXTREMELY seriously. I almost guarantee you if the audit partner pulling balls somehow f***s this up, they would send him to the accounting equivalent of Siberia (i.e., Wichita).

Option B with the top pick would be to draft Schaefer anyway and then flip McAvoy for a comparable #1C.
 
Is this only being broadcast on ESPN in the US or is the NHL streaming it as well somewhere?

I canceled cable once the season ended

That was also an insider, who intercepted the pieces before distribution. Access is everything (and those folks got caught, too). The key to stopping that is to not let anyone unfettered access to vulnerable points in the process. The subcontractor who ran Monopoly game didn't analyze the process correctly, and a vulnerability was left open. Those pieces should have never been entrusted to one person for distribution. They should have been behind a double blind so nobody could know what pieces were going where.

Oh I know and I’m not 100% serious about this being fixed but it is hard to get excited over something that probably won’t happen.
