GDT: 2018 NHL Draft Lottery

[Shaman464]

Yay for what will likely turn out to be a middle pairing D-man!

 

[ZDH]

Burke was talking about it today the current lottery gives too much weight to those teams who just missed on playoffs - NJ last year and Car this year....

 

[ricky0034]

eh could've gone better could've gone worse

all in all pretty solid,should have a choice between a few very promising looking Defensemen and the possibility of taking Tkachuk shouldn't be a thing

 

[Martinez]

I’m happy with 6th

 

[RedWingzz]

******* garbage.

I hate these damn lotteries. I guess I want him to go to Carolina at this point so he's out of the division. Welcome to the Wings Quinn Hughes.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Bring on one of Boqvist, Bouchard, Hughes or Dobson... I'm pumped for a highly drafted D-Man coming into the system!

 

[Red Stanley]

Please do not be montreal

That's what I tried to type when the lag monster ate my post.

 

[Oddbob]

Kinda sucks for sure, but the spot I thought we were getting!

I honestly don't want any of these three teams getting Dahlin. Carolina, doesn't even really like hockey, can't stand either of the Sens or Canadiens, so for sure annoying that one of these 3 are getting Dahlin.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

NHL is seeing what Laine is doing in WPG, what Matthews is doing in TOR, I’d be shocked if Dahlin didn’t go to MTL...

Bettman is too easy to predict with their jump in draft order..

If this does happen, it confirms he’s rigged the NHL for himself

 

[Christien]

Trash

Yeah i'd be happy with any one of those 4 wearing the winged wheel.

 

[ZDH]

It’ll be Hughes.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Okay with this. Really hope Montreal doesn't get #1OA, that's basically all I'm scared of.

6th is an awesome position for us. High likelihood of 1-2 of Bouchard/Boqvist/Dobson being around.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

With the #6 overall pick, The Detroit Red Wings select?

 

[Orthodox Caveman]

Bring on BOQVIST

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I will like whatever player we get at this point. Pretty happy with any of the guys we are likely to take.

Hope Dahlin goes to Buffalo.

Him and Risto could be what Stevie blew when he passed on Jones next to Hedman.

 

[Leronziia]

Get me Boqvist pls.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I'd be totally ecstatic if one of Bouchard/Boqvist/Dobson is around when we pick.

 

[Heaton]

Pretty disappointed we didn't get a top 5 pick, but it's still the highest pick we've had in a long time. I hope Holland doesn't get cute and trade down.

The 'silver lining' is that we'll have a chance at a top 5 pick again next year assuming Holland holds true to his word and starts the rebuild.

 

[FireBird71]

Think he ends up being in Buffalo with Montreal and Carolina next

so Bettman hates Canadian teams but now he's also rigging the draft in their favor?

man Bettman haters really need to get their stories straight

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Get me Boqvist pls.

Same here sounds like Detroit is pretty high on him.

 

[ZDH]

It really sucks that we were battling Montreal for the fifth spot And got edged out at the end and the fifth spot turns out to be a top three

 

[RedWingsfan55]

Unfortunately we miss out on an elite player like dahlin, svech, zadina or tkachuk.

But we still get a top6-9 forward or hopefully top 4 defenseman with the potential to be elite.

 

[Frk It]

#6 is awesome, should get us a very good defenseman.

Cheers everyone!
