Prospect Info: 2020 NHL Draft Thread: Part III - June 26th Lottery Confirmed by League

Ottawa walking away with stutzle and Drysdale

If anything this should motivate Steve to look at every possible way to improve this team. We will be bad regardless, but cut the dead weight and let some kids get a chance. I can handle picking 4th overall with Svech, Ras, and a couple other young players sprinkled in.. I can't take another year of hot garbage with Abby, Nielsen and Co. to finish dead last and pick 4th. Don't get me wrong 4th overall is great but the fans needs something to enjoy.

are you kinndding meeee

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Yoooooooo what the f*** is this make-up-as-you-go bullshit I just watched?????!!! "A team to be determined" Man 2020 is the devil!

 

[bedtime20]

are you fing kidding meeeeeeeeeeee1!!!1!!

 

[lomekian]

Only the NHL could come up with such a sh*t show scenario. Literally the most unfair possible outcome.

 

[Henkka]

Another thousand years of waiting.

Like I already waited for one ice-age for this point and nothing changed.

 

[golffuul]

Worst possible outcome for the NHL. Watch the Penguins get #1 in another “rigged” draft

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

So Lafrenierre ends up on a losing team somewhere in this group.

5. Pittsburgh vs 12. Montreal
6. Carolina vs 11. NYR
7. NYI vs 10. Florida
8. Toronto vs 9. Columbus

OR

5. Edmonton vs 12. Chicago
6. Nashville vs 11. Arizona
7. Vancouver vs 10. Minnesota
8. Calgary vs 9. Winnipeg

So, who are the losers of these teams in the play-in?

And did I hear correct that EVERY play-in team has a 12% chance at getting that 1st overall? f*** looks like a fix if there ever was one.

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I'm just disappointed. I thought the league would never do this. I said they didn't do it before.

I think they did it for real this time.

 

[Henkka]

double post

 

[GOZetterberg]

Sigh. Very disappointing to say the least, but it was the most likely outcome. Looks like we're getting one of Raymond/Rossi/Drysdale.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Hey Edmonton, f*** you. If Kevin Lowe wasn’t such a f***up that he literally pissed away three 1OA in four years, we would have been guaranteed top two.

[Vladdy84]

Stop spending your money on this league. This is ridiculous. At this point I hope they sell the team.

 

[Snuggs]

Most unfair outcome, almost, possible. Rigged system for ratings. They need a new TV deal. Wasn't that guy but now, you can't convince me otherwise.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

From now on, we just have to pray that Ottawa really, really likes Drysdale.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

I for one welcome our new Russian Goalie Lord.

 

[theYman]

4 yrs in a row we've dropped down in the draft. How's that even possible?

each draft has individual odds. One does not affect the next. It is pretty ludicrous that we have lost 11! draft slots in the past four years though (Vegas bumped us back a slot in their first year, too)

 

[Oddbob]

If we have to watch another offseason and season of low end changes to the team, I don't think I can handle it. Let's face it, we will get a decent player but not even close to likely we get a game breaker and being as putrid as we were this year isn't worth it, and the thought of watching another year similar makes me not even want to watch.

 

[K1900L]

Yzerman just stated that he will go for best player available, not for a specific position.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Is there a chance that a team could win the Cup and also get 1st overall?

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Is there a chance that a team could win the Cup and also get 1st overall?

No I believe they're doing the lottery part 2 once all the play-in teams have been eliminated.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Is there a chance that a team could win the Cup and also get 1st overall?

I think the Rangers own Carolina's without conditions. So they could even knock them out and get the pick... Not sure on that though I think that was the one circulating today in terms of ultimate disasters.
