5 days until the draft lottery.
I've started to fill in the picks on the first page using prosportstransactions.com
Shouldn't I also have a pick (at the moment) at 22 since Ottawa got Pittsburgh's 1st in the Brassard trade?

You do...22 belongs to Ottawa. Check the first page.
Picks 15 through 4 will be revealed during Hockey Central Saturday beginning at 7:30 pm ET / 4 pm PST, with the top 3 picks being revealed during the second intermission of the San Jose vs. Vegas game.
I, Ken Holland, am very inept and have actively been running this franchise into the ****ing ground for years.
Even so, since this is the NHL, you idiot's actually just gave me a contract extension.
Thanks for the paycheck's *******s.
Detroit selects...
Evan Bouchard. Because why not? Life has no consequences.
I'd hate to put an autopick in so early. Joe Veleno is the next player on the autopick list (The Draft Analyst | 2018 NHL Draft: Top-500 Rankings for January).
We need to stick to the 12 hour selection window or we will never make 217 picks in 53 days. Please remember to PM or @ the next in line to pick.
If we don't see the Blackhawks GM in the next couple hours, Veleno will be his selection. Any objections?
For the integrity of our fake fun mock draft, I do think Veleno — not talking my opinion of him — going at #8 is rather high, even for an ardent supporter. This early I don’t want to see things get blown up.
I think more realistically someone like Quinn Hughes or Oliver Wahlstrom or dark horse Jesperi Kotkaniemi would go here. Fits Chicago’s drafting style and needs too. They really need everything, especially offense creating. Big time USA hockey drafter, unafraid of smaller players, and even used a 1st on Teravainen out of Finland several years back, so all plausible too.
I’m all ‘bout dat INTEGRITY yo.
I did message him right after my post
As per the rules of last year we had a list of players that were to be used for auto pick. Now we’re saying that way isn’t good enough and we have to vote on the auto pick player? That could get annoying. I think we should pick a list and stick to it. JMO.
