Yesterday was a farce. 19th overall and you get the first pick? NBC got what they wanted.

The Rangers are fine with me, anyone but Pittsburgh, TO or Edmonton.
The NHL draft lottery is the only thing more fixed than the NBA draft lottery. Such a joke.
There were other more rage-inducing choices that could have been picked. SO I will decide to be okay with this.
Odd how a good Rangers team means more viewership and thus more revenue for the league.
Not a tinfoil hat wearer trying to prop up a conspiracy theory, but thats quite the advantageous situation for the owners.
I'm happy Pitt didn't get the pick but I'd rather an authentic process in selecting who gets the pick instead of shenanigans..this puts every draft in question going forward. Give me the system the NFL uses and leave it out of the hands of the suits
Or Montreal, if they'd made it into the lottery.
Finally a valid point on why it was okay that they included Montreal in this year's playoff tournament. Because had they not, I would have bet vital parts of my anatomy they would have won the rights to draft Alexis Lafrenière.
Forget tanking or getting help from a bad season going forward. It won't work as the NHL FO decides who get the elite players.
If you really believe that, then please explain to us why Edmonton ended up with Connor McDavid.
Or why Auston Matthews went to Toronto instead of, say, Uncle Gary’s pet project in Arizona.

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't live up to hype he's getting and another prospect ends up being the steal of the draft. Chiarelli drafted Pastrnak in the late 1st round

Because Toronto being viable is more important to the league than AZ? And Edmonton ended up with winning the lottery 4 out of 6 years at one point, so they already got their freebies from the league?

Toronto is viable even if they are absolute horseshit, his point about them is true, and Edmonton won 4 lotteries when they were bottom feeders, how were they gifted anything? If they fixed it wouldn't they gain the most by letting a bad O6 team like Detroit win?Because Toronto being viable is more important to the league than AZ?
