GDT: 2016 NHL Draft Lottery

[Richer's Ghost]

So it's official now - Lou was part of a tank.

 

[Bleedred]

''Blah blah blah, we earned this the hard way. Blah blah blah, purposefully tanked, blah blah blah, it's a big help, blah blah blah, rabble rabble rabble. Organization hasn't won a cup or been in the finals since 2 years before I was born. Blah blah blah. We didn't get here without support from our ownership for tanking. Blah blah blah, rabble rabble rabble''

Nice to see tanking get rewarded...****ing shameful

 

[The Wumpus]

Edmonton didn't win, we didn't get moved back.

Anticlimactic, but 11 is a good place to be.

 

[Devils Dominion]

I hope Laine ends up the better player for wpg.

 

[Hellraiser]

Matthews pulls a Lindros and gets traded. Book it

 

[britdevil]

That was really disappointing. Would rather the Oilers won again tbh...

 

[Ripshot 43]

so the big American star player gets to play in.... Canada.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

So who are we looking at around pick 11?

 

[ghdi]

Not a chance.

 

[Lateralous]

Me too

 

[Bleedred]

We're just salty cause Toronto tho bruh.

What do we have to be salty about? We've been in the finals since the Nixon administration.

 

[ScottyK]

Keller or jost

 

[Cheddabombs]

It's the self-pity that was ****ing disgusting among Leafs fans... "I expect to drop down to 4th, nothing good ever happens to the Leafs blah blah blah." Like shut the **** up, stop crying.

 

[britdevil]

Really hoping Jost is there when we pick.

 

[Colin226]

Welp, I already started drinking hard at Shad Fest in Lambertville so I might as well continue..

 

[mike30]

i think laine will be a better player than matthews

 

[Burner Account]

11th was (well, should have been) the expectation coming into the lottery.

Purgatory for life.

This is what I don't get. Change the lottery so more teams get a shot to win. Did it stop teams from tanking? Nope. They should just change it so all that miss the playoffs have the same shot. It's better than seeing this same crap every year

 

[njdevils1982]

just saw results

it is what is ….moving on

 

[Ripshot 43]

Really hoping Jost is there when we pick.

Jost, Keller or Brown and I'll be happy at 11.

 

[ghdi]

We didnt drop. We basically broke even.

No excitement but not going to complain either.

 

[britdevil]

****ing Jets...

That franchise was blessed with Kovy, now they have Laine. Yuck.

 

[HobokenIrish]

Much like everyone else said, at least Edmonton is out of the top 3.

We should be getting someone very good at 11.

Let the mock draft stalking begin!!

Give me Jost please!

It wouldn't stop tanking inasmuch as non-playoff teams are still going to sell off everything that isn't bolted down to the door at the deadline to get assets back. The only thing you'll stop is silliness like Buffalo trading all of its goalies last year to get worse goalies, but even that doesn't usually happen except in a McEichel year.
