Thank god Edmonton, Pittsburgh, and Toronto all lost. No complaints about the Rags winning.
(That said, with the Rags having picked #2 last year and now #1 this year, they’re now firmly on the “Teams that don’t deserve to win a draft lottery” list, IMO.)

It’s better than that. Leafs gave up a 13th overall to dump Marleau — can’t imagine they ever thought it would be that high.

We don't want to trade Eichel for anyone.
We want our owners to get their heads out of there asses and change the way they run this team.

I’m just glad it didn’t go to Toronto or Edmonton! I’d have preferred it to go out west but it is what it is.
Rangers are going to be good. Gorton has done a great job quickly rebuilding.

Agree. They are a bit light at center and on defense. Very good wings though. Didn't really help them and Andersson hasn't panned out yet.

I think they've done a good job but most of it has been luck.
#1OA, #2OA, Panarin forcing his way there, Adam Fox forcing his way there, Trouba forcing his way there (although that one isn't helping them much).

I don't know how you can call it great when they dropped a LOT in two consecutive drafts to get #2 and #1 and then have Panarin basically say, "SIGN ME PLEASE!" 6 to 2 and 7 to 1 is 7.8% and 12.5% due to the virus, right? Crazy good luck.
Does he get some credit? Sure. Great though? No. Luck and the luxury of being an appealing city to superstars has been more important than Gorton.

Yeah for sure. The NYR may be the #1 player destination in the NHL. They are in the running for basically any free agent they want (college or pro).
Must be nice. I’ve always been a Buffalo sports fan so I have no idea what that even feels like...lol

I’m just saying that Gorton has added quite a bit of talent in a short amount of time is all. Much of it was just NYC being a destination for players but he’s still the GM so I have to give him some credit.

The best part about this lottery is it gave us a chance to tune the servers under load while all the techs were still at work.

Agreed. Panarin is a great winger. Laf will probably be a great winger. They're still missing elite talent at the 2 positions you actually need it at to win anything meaningful in the NHL.

This is phenomenal. Thank you for the reminder. What an awful season for Leafs fans. Of course, as a Sabres fan I can't really be throwing stones, but at least we ended up exactly where many of us expected.
