GDT: Draft Lottery 5/8/2023 8 PM

I'm not mad about 3; I'm mad about Chicago....

Look, it’s a messed up situation, dude was an NHL player and grown man though.

You guys should be more upset with USA hockey and all affiliated teams he was involved with and the untold amount of people who brushed things under the table for many years. Or the actual offenders themselves.

Anyways….Carlson’s two way game…….

 

[Youngguns80]

Openly tanking, hell. Kyle Beach.

I thought that point was painfully obvious.

 

[ViD]

Time to tank again.

I mean next year we’re not fighting for a play off spot. The metro is completely loaded

 

[MissADD]

I am happy to get Carlsson but pissed that Chicago won it. Chicago shouldn’t be rewarded for openly tanking

Kyle Beach is infinitely more of a reason why they shouldn't get anything. I would have taken Bedard on Washington or Philadelphia before Chicago.

I am in fact more upset with those folks. But that doesn't excuse Chicago's actions (and deliberate inactions) or the complete lack of consequences for the organization for same.

It behooves them to be bad 1 more year.

tear it down to the (young) studs by the trade deadline. Compete the following season.

Alright, I’m team jarmo again. Dude is unhinged and it’s hilarious.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[Viqsi]

Y'know, I had that thought, and then decided I wasn't going to look because why torture myself further...

(And to be fair, the way the drawing works, that "one ball away" kind of thing can apply to potentially damn near every team that was in the drawing. If you have to go by the highest number only so it looks like the "last digit", 4-5-9-12 was Vancouver.)

 

[ViD]

If you think about it, Chicago needs to seriously load up or I don’t think Bedard draft year will be anything spectacular, he’s got no support

 

[DarkandStormy]

This league sucks.

Oh no, then too.

They all deserve some kind of punishment

The last generational player chosen was-obviously-McDavid in 2015. The 3rd pick was a center named Dylan Strome. Time to drink ourselves to death.

 

[Fred Glover]

If Jarmo really wants to shake things up he pays the price to move up to two

 

[CBJWerenski8]

“I always try to remain optimistic, but I look at the odds, and you know the odds weren’t great when you have a 13.5 percent chance at winning the lottery,” Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen said. “It’s just the reality of it. It’s out of our control.

“You hope for the best and keep your fingers crossed. The results are here now. We’re going to get a real good player at (No.) 3.”

Kekalainen said that last phrase repeatedly in his post-lottery media conference call, but the tone of his voice and his body language didn’t match that optimism.

 

[Static]

Hope you guys take Carlsson and he makes some great chemistry with Johnson. Glad you didn't drop out of the top three.

Matthews in 2016. We got PLD at 3 and then traded for Laine

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

We still need a goalie

You won't find him in the draft.

 

[MissADD]

UTree always has great videos

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Just f*** all.

Eat shit, hockey gods.

I wouldn't consider him generational, but for the sake of argument I will. If a Laine equivalent is the aggregate gain of the last season of shame, then the drinks need to be doubles.

 

[MissADD]

Of course he did.
