I agree with McCagg is closely connected to the Habs and that may represent the majority of his contacts. He was the head scout at Mckeens for while. And he has had some interesting takes...I remember when he came on Ottawa radio and was totally bullish on Karlsson in 2008:
At the time....that was a wild take..I am sure people easily dismissed as absurd.
I believe that people not caring about fair is exactly the point I was making.my point is i dont care if we are handed increased odds because of the virus. or for whatever other reason. i wont feel guilty if the sens benefit from this new format. i dont care about fair.

Do you have McCagg's 2018 draft preview? Curious to see where he had Tkachuk listed, or his viewpoint on the player. Some of the HF posters here made it feel like they were talking about a 3rd liner when they were describing Tkachuk prior to the draft :.
I wouldn’t expect them to announce anything regarding the lottery today tbh.really excited to hear about the draft, kinda the same feeling you get when the sens are about to trade a star player.
He tweeted his top 10
bob Mckenzie said there is an possibility of only 1 draw, he's actually in favour of the ideaNot a religious Man but will be praying over the next 3 hours. Come on Hockey Gods, give us Sens fans some great news.
1-7 lottery only
Playoff teams can only move up 4 spots
Only 1 draw
Montreal has been withdrawn from the playoff, lottery and league.
Anyone of those scenarios and I'm helicopter dicking around my Condo.
I'll take it if it happens.bob Mckenzie said there is an possibility of only 1 draw, he's actually in favour of the idea
will try to find the link, but we'll find out real soon anyways.
the reason for having a june lottery is to create buzz for the 7 teams who aren't going to play again until next year most likely. i doubt the nhl will want to screw with them too much by having 3 top picks up for grabs.
btw on vancouver radio bob mckenzie was spitballing about only having the top pick up for grabs not the top 4. he said it was the logical idea. there has been discussion on the odds apparently.
I don't think we'd be getting "screwed", but the current lottery system is completely flawed, and I find it annoying the same bubble teams that voted for a 24-team playoffs are probably the same ones that took the biggest issue with not having a shot at #1 overall.the talk about getting screwed is funny, the stop in play couldn't have come at a better time. I doubt we finish with 2 picks in the bottom 3 after a normal 82 game season.
I’ve already made up my mind on Raymond and Holtz as Senators. The league gonna make sure we screwed.
I also agree that Byfield hockey sense makes me really worried about him achieving his potential.
