They should do that. I hope the Canucks don't get the 30th pick.Dark Metamorphosis said:29th through 2nd, and then 1st/30th would be even more tense.

It was confirmed Tuesday that the NHL draft lottery in New York will be televised Friday. But like the NBA, only the results of the draw will be shown. The actual drawing will take place away from the cameras. The original plan had been to hold the entire lottery behind closed doors during Friday's board of governors meeting, with commissioner Gary Bettman subsequently announcing the results at a news conference.
PecaFan said:Doesn't really alleviate the "fixed" complaints, if they do it the NBA way as described:
"The actual drawing is conducted by the NBA's legal department.
"Our event people do the drawing of the balls, they have a person with their back to the bin with a stopwatch that says, 'Now,' and then they draw four balls," said Frank. "That's how they make sure nobody's watching, to take away any of that suspicion, and then our lawyers are there to legitimize the decisions."
If I'm a GM, I damn well insist that *someone* from my organisation is in that room when the balls are drawn. You want to lock them in there until after everything is done, fine.
