GDT: Draft Lottery: Habs Picking Top-3 (Wish for Very Few Whistles in Sharks/Knights Game)

[Adam Michaels]

I know there is an NHL Draft thread, but with some details about the Draft Lottery specifically is out, I thought its own thread could be started.

According to Jared Book of EOTP, the NHL will broadcast the Draft Lottery's picks 15-4 before Game 2 Golden Knights vs. Sharks. The Top-3 picks will be revealed in the second intermission.

Holy tease

The Plan unfolds on Saturday

Anywhere but Brady range pls

Even that still worries me. In all seriousness, if we land #1 or #2, I freaking hope common sense prevails.

Kinda lame about #1-#3 being revealed during the second intermission. I guess they want to maintain viewership for the game.

 

[Jay Wolf]

Is it too late to pick Connor McDavid?

 

[habsfan909]

Part A of Bergevin's 2 part plan will finally fail on Saturday. Part B is Tavares and that will fail later.

We have a better chance of landing poster Frank Drebin, who has been posting sporadically this season.

In order to avoid any potential disappointment with the Lottery, why not ...

With this teams luck, the Habs will get pick # 11. And i am serious.

That's not possible tho

Unless we trade down, the worst that can happen is we pick 7th.

The lowest they can select is 7th. They can't fall lower than that.

In case some of you don't read the 2018 draft thread, if you want to have some fun, check out Draftwired: http://draftwired.com:8888/apps/dwNHL

Yesterday I managed to snag Svechnikov at #4. Today I settled for Zadina.

Also, ~2 days, 11 hours and 39 minutes to the lottery.

BTW: I pointed out "to have some fun" with Draftwired, because I'll go make out with Bergevin if this happens in real life:

So dumb that they make teams wait to see who's going 1-3. If somehow the hockey gods smile on us and it ends up being us in the top-3 the suspense will be unbearable for those few hours

lol i was exaggerating geez. We both know it will be 7 haha

 

[WeThreeKings]

Fine by me. Tkachuk won't be there.

 

[Nedved]

ah shit. nfl draft and we find where we draft? great weekend!

 

[Whitesnake]

You know that this is exactly who we will get. And we will have to hope for the best. At worst, we will have truculence. At best...he might flourish into a fine 2nd line winger. Thing is....we will still need some freakin C's....'Cause I don't see him as a generator. At all. BUt could be a fine complementary.......Anyway, trying to convince myself, but I think we won't have any choice to be honest. We will be in that range. We are not winning anything this year.

ah ****. nfl draft and we find where we draft? great weekend!

Who's your NFL team?

I'm a Packers fan and I hope they get some help on D tonight.

 

[DXStriker]

Lol @ holding the top 3 not only for 1 intermission but 2 ...

Well here is to hoping we see no Habs logo until after Vegas and the Sharks hit the ice

If we fall to 6 or 7. I'm confident he will be gone. Our franchise isn't the only stupid one.

 

[Habsawce]

Top 3 would be great, obviously #1 would be ideal. Honestly, I don't expect much; and pray for the best.

 

[Montreal Impact FC]

guys I will watch that with the full conviction that we will get the 7th pick...

i wont get more deceived for the habs this year if we get a better pick then amazing cant allow myself to think about the top 3 now let alone the top pick just even considering it for a sec9nd leaves me a bad taste on my mouth thinking MB would still be there.. #discusting

For me it won't be. Though Dahlin would be great....Svech or Zadina would be awesome too. But somehow...we all know that's not going to happen. We are drafting No. 6.

I'm a Packers fan and I hope they get some help on D tonight.

I'm a Jets' fan and I hope they don't draft Baker Mayfield tonight.

Anyway, I think this will be the first time the board all agrees to cheer for the Habs since October.
