Draft Lottery - May 7th @ 6:30 ET, ESPN (upd: #1 SJS, #2 CHI, #3 ANA)

Congrats to shark fans... just glad Chicago didnt win it.

I heard that SJS are going to alternate between D and F every draft and since they got Smith last year they are going with D so Chicago gets Celebrini anyway. Sharks taking Yakemchuk at #1 according to Grier.

 

[57special]

Well, that was anti-climatic. Was fully prepared to storm the barricades after Chicago got the #1 pick.

 

[CupofOil]

I know I have a very unpopular opinion but I hate the draft. Players should go where they want.

Might as well relocate the Canadian teams in that case.

 

[Seb]

Super happy for SJS, they deserve it.

 

[SharksCyclops]

Funny thing people saying Sharks deserved first pick. Nothing deserving about suck ass for a full season.

Someone want to explain how drafts work to this kid?

 

[Speatleysson]

The odds that not one team moved are so low...

 

[robertocarlos]

Does not feel right that they won't let the NYR win it again.

That's what they get for cock-blocking the Leafs that one time.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Heard Grier really likes silayev

 

[SharksCyclops]

Who did he say his team was growing up? Girlfriend was yapping in my ear didn’t hear that part

Nucks

lol what? they aren't passing a consensus #1 pick who also happened to be a Jr Shark. They will pick a D at 14, and perhaps try to move that up

 

[CapSpace]

f*** that lottery system bs.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

No it wasn’t. It showed Utah winning #2. This played out exactly how the order was.

Okay. Good then.

 

[ES]

doesn’t this mean chicago can’t win another lottery for a couple years?

They can't but if Blackhawks is the worst team and team from 12-16 wins a lottery they will retain 1st pick.

 

[Ezekial]

Fans from 31 franchises rejoice that the Hawks didn't win.

Dont wish that evil on us, I wouldve been mad if we picked him at 4

I mean i feel like they can get a pretty good dmen at 14 still

Celebrini at 1

Feel like they can trade up from 14, and snag yakemchuk if he is around at 9+

No evil wished at all. Enjoy Macklin it’s your reward for a shitty year

That's right. f*** the Canadian teams. Put up or shut up.

f*** that lottery system bs.

Lol what? The lottery didn't even change anything

I know how it works moron. I still don’t think anything about this is deserved. The system rewards sucking ass. But congrats i guess. Maybe you won’t suck in a couple of years.

Grier hasn’t selected celebrini yet
