[bluebleeder38]

I also saw on the Hawks website that the Blues are 1st...it says Chicago is 3rd.

Blues have #1 Chicago 3

 

[SuburbanRhythm]

Obviously player contracts are in tact but not coaching. They said on the Radio that he can be bought out under new ownership etc..

I hope he stays but Patrick was the first and most likely others will follow.

Right, CAN be bought out...but the contract is still binding until that happens. Without an ownership change, he could still be bought out.

Not happening either way.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

.......just checked it, and it is there. Kessel here we come!!!!!!!!

Yea the key word there is BOUGHT OUT, meaning we'd have to pay him the contract without him doing anything, so I'd say that's a pretty big obligation.

Blues have #1 Chicago 3

so essentially the order is exactly the same as the final season standings

Boring!!

 

[King'sPawn]

Come on!!!

I know it sucks to wait, but remember how they described the lottery? Over a thousand balls bouncing.

Plus, there was that .000001% chance of a particular number combination belonging to no team in particular and if they got it, they would have to redo it. Maybe they got it?

Or, to feed the brains of conspiracy theorists... maybe they already have a winner, but they want to keep redoing the lottery until Pittsburgh wins

 

[reidy]

Wow... Crosby / Malkin / Kessel.

That's scary.

Yeah, they will have to pay Therrien. I hope he stays but what can you do? I am very excited about the future.

NUMBER 2 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on Johnson.

I didn't know they had ever won the lottery I thought Pittsburgh won it.

I think St Louis takes Kessel at #1

They need a marketable player with new ownership and Kessel fits the bill.

 

[AdmiralPred]

OK Blackhawks site updated for me.

 

[Realm]

Who would have guessed Chicagoblackhawks.com would be the 1st source on this

 

[reidy]

If Kessel goes first, who does Pitt take? EJ?

 

[SChan*]

hey guys, what't the top 10 list?

 

[pmanning1969]

Lottery

I completely agree about Kessel to St. Louis.

I think this guy Johnson will be a beast with Welch and Whitney. Johnson is the perfect fit.

At worst, we get Kessel. Another great day for Pens fans. The future is certainly looking incredible fella's.

 

[acr*]

So Bruins keep #5...that means we get Mueller most likely...sweet.

Adam Kempanaar does a great job running the site.

Kudos for beating out TSN, NHL.com, ESPN ... everyone!

 

[The Old Master]

yep...steal of the draft

 

[Stuy]

Adam Kempanar does an amzing job on that site. No doubt he was sitting right there with the laptop ready to break it.

 

[Wisent]

Any chance that Pittsburgh trades down if Johnson gets picked first? They would rather need a defence man than Kessel.
