GDT: 2015 NHL Draft Lottery - CBC 7:30pm Edmonton Wins McDavid

[bigred50]

McDavid's career is over.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

The look on Mcdavid's face.

Guy pretty much died on the inside.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Buffalo gets the shaft again, ROFL

Hopefully we get Strome, no idea who Arizona will target, but guess we'll find out...

Not at all. They get the best American prospect since LaFontaine. They've been whistling dixie since the season ended.

 

[Leaf Lander]

This system is a ****ing joke, how does 1 team get 4 first overall picks in 6 years. Hall RNH Yakupov and McDavid. i am beyond pissed off, such a joke. That embarrassment of a team wins another lottery, as if they didnt have enough first overalls to begin with. **** this

Looks like another new rule should be implemented to stop that!

 

[i1]

My God...

 

[carko32]

I think that Edmonton trades one of their centres, probably for up and coming 1D.
They'll still need a goalie, that might be a problem to find.

Hopefully McDavid pulls a Lindros

 

[Snow Dog]

Soooo.... I guess the Oilers aren't picking Hanifin anymore

you never know

 

[Trapper]

Conner about to cry.Wanted to be a leaf.

I beat him to the cry.

 

[rojac]

Absolutely disgusted. The most incompetent franchise gets rewarded yet again. This whole thing is a joke.

Yeah, I guess drafting 4th is a reward.

Oh, you meant the Oilers.

 

[Erdinger]

Wow if we tanked and let Edmtonton pass, that could of been us.

A lot of people here loved Bozak's hat trick game

 

[CalgaryLeaf*]

Leafs get Hanifan or Marner.

F Edmonton AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[senor martinez]

The drafting system will change for the next year right?

Edm is trading hopkins or hall for the maple leafs? Who do we want? Yakubov too is open minded.

 

[TML1]

Typical leafs miss the 1st by one position!!

 

[Drew75]

Maybe the only good thing to come out of Edmonton winning the draft is we will likely get to pick Dylan Strome

Actually less likely - if Buffalo or Arizona won, Edmonton would have taken Hanafin #3 - giving us the choice between Strome / Marner.

Now, Edmonton takes McDavid, Buff gets Eichel, and Arizon may take Strome / Marner at #3.

However - we'll still get the choice between 2 of Strome, Marner, and Hanafin.

Also - anyone else notice McDavid looked like he wanted to cry?

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

The only consolation is that this will keep Edmonton management from getting fired, so they'll never build a good enough team around him to win anything.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Safe to say we get Hanifin now.

That would be amazing.

 

[LeafSteel]

Beyond disappointed to see Edmonton drafting first again.

 

[Liminality]

To everyone crying that if we were 3rd overall instead of 4th we would have won. If you changed that what else would change? Butterfly effect my friends.

 

[Space Coyote]

What are the chances of McDavid pulling a Lindros on draft day?

 

[TribalPhoenix]

I have long championed the idea that if you cap the number of top picks a team can have, and I championed it BECAUSE of the Oilers.

I still think that if you've picked 1st more than 3 times in 5 years, you can't pick higher than 5th. It stops rewarding colossal mismanagement and ineptitude.

 

[Steven1562]

Those late wins during the season are really sweet right now

 

[LeafsMonster]

Their management get's rewarded AGAIN for their incompetence.

I knowwwww this is not ****ing fair. They continue to suck fr a couple of year and great players just fall in their lap.

We've sucked for almost 2 decades where is our generational talent?

 

[ULF_55]

Leafs get Hanifan or Marner.

F Edmonton AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rebirth of the Battle of Alberta

McDavid, RNH, Draisaitl

Monahan, Bennett, Stajan
