Predict the Lottery!

[GoldiFox]

1) Ottawa
2) Carolina
3) Buffalo

 

[McShogun99]

Why? They were battling for a playoff spot and still were sellers at the deadline. Seems stupid to reward them for throwing in the towel.

It’s because they’ve been a good team for a long time but just never seem to get anywhere in the playoffs. Then, Washington and San Jose are teams that deserve to win a Cup soon.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Oilers win it. Guaranteed.

 

[Sabresruletheschool]

1. Ottawa senators
2. Phoenix Coyotes
3. Buffalo Sabres
4. Edmonton Oilers

Can Oilers pick 4th?

 

[The List Of Jericho]

If the Islanders somehow get the first overall pick or even a top 3 pick from the Calgary pick it's going to be an epic shit show on the Flames board.

Ran the simulator just once:

1) Montreal(God I hope not)
2) Islanders with Flames pick(haha)
3) Flyers with Blues pick(yikes)

 

[GordonGecko]

Rangers haven’t had a #1 pick since 1965

It’s time

Don't let the facts fool you into thinking there won't be Uncle Gary outrage if it actually does come to pass

 

[Kragclank]

I'm hoping . . .

 

[lwvs84]

In no order, I think top 3 will be some combination of Edmonton, Chicago, Detroit (probably 2 of them) and 1 of Arizona and Buffalo.

I'd like to see Ottawa, Calgary's pick, and Carolina in the top 3 though.

 

[PensandCaps]

We all know who's winning it.

 

[BlueBaron]

I don't think there would be the "melt down" people imagine if the Oilers win.

The only downside is HF Oiler fans bragging uncontrollably and declaring Dahlin the best D of all time before he's even played. No doubt this will be followed by the assumption they are cup favorites again.

Really, we are talking about a lot of sad comedy.

I'd like to see the Red Wings and Habs do well. Beyond that I don't care.

That would be a nice break from all the Matthews is generational threads.

Trust me, this place will melt if the Oilers do get another first OA. It will be utterly ridiculous and they should have to forfeit said pick

Is there such a thread? I know you were trying to be funny but failed badly.

Amusing how fans always complain about Leaf threads overlooking that most of them started by Western Canadian fans.

I don't trust you. Seriously who gives a crap?

 

[McFlash97]

As long as Edmonton doesn't have the chance to ruin Dahlins career before it gets started, I'd wanna see one of Montreal Vancouver or Arizona draft Dahlin. Even the Islanders would be interesting, as Dahlin is hyped up to be a high end D like Karlsson esq. it would be wild to see that potent offense with a back end driver who's young and ambitious.

Dahlins best seasons will come as a member of the Oilers. Passing to McDavid/Draisaitl as opposed to Boeser/Horvat or Drouin/Gallagher or Domi/Keller. Good one.

Ahhh shucks, you got me. Your joke was funnier.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Come on Uncle Gary, hit us up with a top 3 pick! Let lady luck smile upon the New York Rangers for ONCE in their history

 

[pomx]

1. Chicago (Betman’s golden egg)
2. Buffalo
3. Oilers
4. Arizona
5. Ottawa
6. Vancouver

 

[Hasek]

Is it possible to bet on this anywhere?
I want to put my life savings on:
1) EDM
4) BUF

 

[CanuckGame39]

We all know who's winning


Oilers fans on draft lottery day be like

 

[Atoyot]

Imma predict about an 18.5% chance Buffalo wins it.

 

[oconnor9sean]

Scary defense right there if it becomes a reality. Even without Dahlin the Stars blue line looks like it'll be really good.

Yeah even without Dahlin, I’m pretty pumped about the state of our D group. Lots of mobility, puck movement and potential point production, especially if Gavin Bayreuther continues to progress and can take that 3rd pairing LHD spot at some point soon.

Reminds me of a certain team

 

[TGWL]

I'm on the mindset that the lottery is rigged, no matter what is said, and I just can't see NHL not trying to fix a big market team like the Habs. Think they take the 1st or 2nd. with Buffalo getting whichever they don't end up with. I think it'll be another year or 2 before Rangers get a top 2 pick.

 

[mouz135]

I don't trust you. Seriously who gives a crap?

Not you, apparently. But the rest of HF will care. Although you're getting a little worked up over it, so don't worry too much

You have quite an imagination.

Yeah some guys will freak out with "OMG they won again, how do we fix the lottery?" but I suspect it would only be fans of rivals and the teams that lost out.
