GDT: Draft Lottery

[YandlesMother]

Not to diminish from his disappointment, but I absolutely do. I have had the good fortune of watching this fortune be **** on from above on a semi-annual basis for nearly forty years. He suffered a moment of disappointment, and he's going to be rich. **** him.

I was speaking in jest, but yea I get it.

I feel for you guys. Was hoping you'd get one or two.

 

[Desertdog214]

As a fan of this franchise since they started in 1972, I think this is the saddest "dirty trick" that was ever pulled in this league. Change for change sakes? [mod]

 

[Bonsai Tree]

We're nothing more than a place keeper for the NHL. They want us marginally viable. Nothing more.

 

[Desertdog214]

Sorry Yotes.....it was fun while it lasted!

 

[DocWest]

You guys got ****ed. It makes me sick to see the Oilers get the #1 yet again. The lottery system is broken. I wanted to see you or Carolina get rewarded.

 

[Shepard]

If this is the case, then I don't like the long term chances of the Yotes staying in the desert.

I will say it again: as of right now,

We NEED Austin Matthews......... for the purposes of survival.

We won't get him. Our franchise has garbage luck and even if we were the worst team in the league we would draft third under the new lottery.

Trade us Sam Reinhart. I made a thread.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I'm sure I'll feel a lot better about this when McDavid leaves Edmonton as a free agent.

Not being an American, I don't know if that is in poor taste or not, but I think this comment is Buffalo, with PSG's rt dinner fanfic being Edmonton; great stuff all around.

 

[Matzel]

And McEichel would've been the best player this franchise has ever had. Let that sink in.

Selanne?!

 

[Flyotes]

NHL is the laughing stock of the sports world right now.

 

[RemoAZ]

I don't consider this Franchise the old Winnipeg. They have a team. They should have their history.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

Everyone send DM an email thanking him for signing Dave Moss, who was instrumental in our fight to not get to draft a generational prospect

 

[drgregg]

I was speaking in jest, but yea I get it.

I've only put up with this crap for 20 years. Can't imagine what 40 would be like.

Ditto.

Oh guys, I'm mostly in jest too. You couldn't be a fan of this team for any length of time without a great sense of humour. That's why so many of my fellow Winnipeggers couldn't hack it, they take themselves too seriously.

 

[Muppet]

DM needs to trade the pick. Strome and Marner won't see NHL ice for a year or two, or make that several years with Tippett at the helm. Going through with it and picking Hanifin would literally be the most comical suicide in history. Trade the pick for an NHL ready C, or it's sipping latte's in Seattle. Literally cannot afford to tank another season.

The Royal Half ‏@theroyalhalf

I’m not saying he doesn’t want to play in Edmonton but Connor McDavid just hired Eric Lindros’ dad as his agent.

 

[drgregg]

They do, they just don't want the Atlanta history because it is terrible.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

It's not that I want them to have their history. I don't give a rat's ass what they have. There's been enough acrimony regarding Winnipeg and I'd just as soon forget that they exist when we don't play each other. It's that I don't want US to carry Winnipeg's history.

Getting Reinhart and ROR would save this team next year and beyond. Just make it happen. Price be damned.

We are of the same opinion in that regard. This franchise started when they became the Coyotes as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

So, what's the skinny on Marner? Does he really have a concussion?

 

[Jakey53]

I've only put up with this crap for 20 years. Can't imagine what 40 would be like.

Were you in diapers when you stated watching the Coyotes? I'm not trying to be a smart---, just wondering, as I thought you were a student.

 

[Matzel]

It hasn't moved yet because they were waiting for a major shot in the arm to make the local market worthwhile. McDavid or Eichel could have not only been a huge boost on ice next year but likely would have sold a couple thousand season tickets all on their own.

Marner or whomever just becomes another player in the system for a team that's not going to be ****** enough to pick Matthews and not good enough to make the playoffs. You know what those teams do? They lose a ton of money in weak markets. That's us. The writing is on the wall.

Sounds about right.
