I mind because it feels like we fall all the time lol. Just once I’d like to have some draft luck.

I guess we could move up this year to 2nd..... but i feel like well be drafting the same guy at 2-4 no matter what spot we get lol.

For some reason I’ve just had a feeling all season long that we’re getting Celebrini. We shall see

I always liked him, albeit he's a luxury piece as opposed to a core guy. But pretty good pick in a shaky draft year. I wouldn't be surprised if this draft turns out similarly, with a lot of high picks not amounting to much. If that happens, even a Lupul like career might make Eiserman stand out as one of the better picks.
There's also years when it's just not that exciting a group, and the next talent dropoff is well after we pick.

We did have luck last year when you think about it. Obviously it would have been nice to get Bedard, but the odds were always against that. We did actually win the draw for #2. Now, maybe we would have still gotten Leo at 3, but you never know.
But as to this year, yeah like others have said, I think if we're not at #1, I don't think it matters where we draft. We would probably take the same player at 2 as we would at 5.

I still want to win #2 so we can get 'our guy'. Levshunov is the guy I think we are after but we would need some luck to get him. If not him then I think we end up with Silayev or Yakemchuk

This so much. I'd rather have the ability to have choice than to have that choice taken from me and the possibility of that player taken away before your pick.
Imagine if we picked #3 last year and "ended" up with Carlsson, then most of the board wouldn't be onboard before the season. At least with when we picked Carlsson #2, then that changed a lot of people's perspective to wonder what they were missing on Carlsson.
It's Serevalli, probably gonna be on 8th or smth
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the draft lottery has been cancelled and per NHL offices' decision the draft picks will be handed out in the order of whose arena can play Chelsea Dagger the loudest.
