This has just been reported on sportscentre.
BUT... all they are going to do is report the results it looks like.

RLC said:What you do is this.
draw the balls behind closed doors.
for the draft anouncment. post order but cover them.
start by uncovering #30, then wait 30 seconds ( new drum roll ) bing ! #29 and so on until you get to the last three ( have your commercial) ok eveyone this is it. pull the last rope uncovering the last three teams ( bring up the NHL music ta da, tada , tada)followed by " we will we will rock you " and eveyone yells the NHL IS BACK.
It's only good TV because you can see the reactions of the team reps live. But in this presser you will only see Bettman's reaction.. :\shekki said:I bet this is exactly what they do. (minus the music) The NBA does it and it's good tv.

Well at least you'll get the American audience to watch...The Iconoclast said:Sounds great! Maybe the NHL can get Ryan Seacrest to host and have Simon Cowell make rude comments about each team after it is uncovered. They can have Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood sing real cheesey songs and then have a bad tour after the fact where they re-enact the lottery in each NHL city later this summer!

Someone is calling in sick.
