Why doesn’t NHL broadcast LIVE the draft lottery number draws?

Who’s Bob Ross lol.

He had a television show called The Joy of Painting for about 10 years where he would teach viewers how to paint a different landscape image each episode. He was known for very calm and peaceful demeanor.

You could “watch the paint dry” because he would do a full image from start to finish in one episode. Amazing man and show.

To be fair to the people who roasted you, their point was that it would make for boring TV and that concern has hardly been put to rest.

Nah I actually I addressed how they could make it more exciting, but everyone just went with the ‘there’s a reason nhl doesn’t want to do it, it’s boring, watch paint dry instead’ all based off the videos of the actual lottery that they released.

The fact the NHL is entertaining this at all and looking to capitalize says enough, the point was there was potential and it’s happening, and the posters over here that fancy themselves as expert don’t know jackshit

It would be, and was boring, like watching paint dry, though.

Let’s see what this rendition looks like…I’m assuming they’re accounting for the boring factor of drawing random numbers and finding new innovative ways to keep it interesting

As long as it’s not a number 17893, and then look team up on chart, and then flip the card.

they did it once IIRC (Dahlin/Svechnikov draft I believe) and it was boring as f***.

Its watching powerball but you didn't buy a ticket

Fans are not going to know what they hell thr 4-6 number code means

If the league wanted to fix the lottery, McDavid would have gone to Philly a decade ago and played five times a year against Crosby.

He would’ve gone to Arizona and salvaged that franchise

I knew it - it's rigged! The league already has it figured out.

OP is owed a big apology because seeing the balls pulled and the odds change was significantly more exciting than seeing cards flipped over
