You can add the League office personnel to your list. How the hell are they going to market the next Hockey great superstar to the USA when he'll be playing in Edmonton?

They deserve it. Their lottery is stupid and something stupid happened. I find it hilarious and easily the second best result to us winning

That's like Mike Trout playing for the Rays, LeBron James playing for the Jazz, or Peyton Manning playing for the Raiders.

Richmond Hill is 36 mins from Toronto, 1 hr 57 mins from Buffalo and 32 hrs from Edmonton.

He'll be in Buffalo

Well then! Isn't it time to change your HFBoards name???

18.9%
18.2%
27.3%
Loss

Using vcv's simulator, fourth ball odds (5-14-6-#) were: BUF 27.3%, EDM 18.2%, TOR 36.4%, CAR 9.1%, CBJ 9.1%

Sweet, mine does actually have a use

He's got to see where our Islanders pick lands. Travis Konecny with a picture of Daniel Sprong.

Better not let Connor see that, probably his two favorite choices had the best odds going into the last ball, makes it even worse for him.

He'll end up fine but sure he's not too happy right now.

 

[vcv]

Toronto had a 4 out of 11 shot
Buffalo had a 3 out of 11
Edmonton 2 out of 11

Carolina and Columbus also had a 1/11 (~9.1%) chance

You made the best one to be honest. Slap some ads on it and design one with 2016s system. We may need it.

 

[Moskau]

Truth be told Edmonton is going to be good. I was never high on RNH but man did he make me a believer this season.

 

[JackTheRipper]

I like to think that this was GMTM's reaction after the lottery

 

[26CornerBlitz]

4-18: Jack Eichel, Connor McDavid, Dylan Strome, Noah Hanafin react to Lottery (14:47)

Funny part is.... It's said NHL Draft Lottery was changed because of Edmonton ...

And they wind up winning again.. lol


Tuth is...the whole lottery process is dumb. Should be no lottery. You wind up with luck determining ****** results.


They need to end the lottery.

Also NBC, for the same reason.

Or add a rule that says a team can only pick first overall X times over a Y year span.

The old system they had was completely fine. 50%. Team can move up 5 spots. Hell even take that down to 30% and it's perfect. If you finish last you have your 30% + the % of the teams that can't slide up far enough to get #1.

Could easily have an impact on their next TV rights deal as I'm sure you're alluding to.

 

[Terrier]

Not sure the drama around our tank is over. If Eichel ends up back at BU next season, there will be many fans questioning if the tank was worth it.

Agree.

Wouldn't it be great if the NHL gave up on selling the game to everyone who doesn't want to buy it altogether?

They could then return it to the glory it used to be, for those who actually like hockey.

I personally think it's great that McDavid will be playing in front of real hockey fans who know what icing is.

The poor kid could have ended up in, God forbid, freaking Phoenix, AZ for Christ's sake.

Make a gif screen-capping you type in 5-14-6-1. ??? Profit.

The whole idea is to grow the game's audience and imprint in non traditional markets, not give it a boost where none is needed.
