GDT: "With the _____ Overall in the 16 NHL Draft the Leafs are Proud to Select..." 8PM CBC

[Anthrax442]

I'm not going to watch. I want to be disappointed once, quickly. As a Leaf fan I have no faith in our luck.

 

[Diddy]

Got a bout 2 hours of sleep tonight. Hoping I can stay awake to watch this thing when it's on.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

funny if hockey gods punish toronto for tanking

Ya think! I'll take 4th and run with it. Not a problem. I would be happier with first.

 

[Drew311]

I'm thinking 4th overall and PLD or Tkachuk.

I'm predicting they take Nylander at 4.

 

[A1LeafNation]

I'm predicting they take Nylander at 4.

burke not gm anymore

 

[Picku Materinu]

Bettman has this thing rigged so that Buffalo or *insert crummy non-traditional american market* could get even more. Ain't mad cause Puljujarvi wouldn't look bad for the leafs.

 

[Drew311]

burke not gm anymore

Nylander has the potential to be a top 3 player in this draft.

 

[A1LeafNation]

so does dubois and tkachuk and puljujarvi

 

[Kelly]

Can **** just work out once for us.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Can **** just work out once for us.

[LighthouseKeepr]

All 7 Canadian teams are hoping and praying to win the opportunity to select the kid born and raised in the desert, the place where hockey does not belong!

NHL draft lottery: Five things you might not know about this crazy process

http://news.nationalpost.com/sports...s-you-might-not-know-about-this-crazy-process

There's a video on how they picked the Oilers in last years draft and I think that process will be repeated this year 3-4 times, to select the top 4 teams in order of picking.

 

[Kelly]

babcock?

Ok, other than that.

Can **** just work out twice for us?

 

[ConnorTO]

at the end of the day in poker

you always take the higher number

 

[Damisoph]

Bettman has this thing rigged so that Buffalo or *insert crummy non-traditional american market* could get even more. Ain't mad cause Puljujarvi wouldn't look bad for the leafs.

Not sure if serious.

Can we stop with the "rigged" talk?

 

[Kelly]

If the lottery was rigged it'd be in the NHL's best interest to get us rolling again... Us and ARZ would be at the top. But it's irrelevant because it isn't rigged, take the tinfoil hat off.

Maple Leafs keep doing things the right way, expect to be rewarded by hockey gods

The Toronto Maple Leafs are clinging to last place by a thread.

Finishing 30th in the NHL brings with it the greatest odds of getting the first overall pick in the entry draft – a measly 20 per cent. So maybe it should not come as a surprise that the Maple Leafs are not tanking down the stretch. There are those who would suggest the Maple Leafs are shooting themselves in the foot by winning. It could cost them the
No. 1 pick.

With the Maple Leafs having won four of their past five games, including a thrilling 6-5 overtime victory against the Stanley Cup contending Anaheim Ducks on Thursday, their hold on 30th is suddenly tenuous.

This has not escaped the attention of coach Mike Babcock. Asked following his team’s victory against the Ducks if he’d like to see the Maple Leafs run the table in their final nine games, Babcock was diplomatic:

“I’m like everybody else, I like to pick first. There are 30 teams in the league that would like to pick first. In saying that, I like to win every night, too. I’m a big believer that in life if you do good things, good things happen. If you cheat the system, it cheats you. So it’s, do what you’re supposed to do ; do your job the best you can. ".

Give me a damn top 3 pick and I'm happy. Difference between top 3 is not that much.

With the 2nd overall pick
The Toronto Maple Leafs are proud to select

I work, but I'm going to have my girlfriend load up the results and scroll through them from last to first.
