Just excited about the Celebrini sweepstakes. T-minus 3 days until we find out!

I have this horrible gut feeling Chicago or Utah wins 1st Ov.

[Guess]

Absolutely no way this happens unfortunately

No surprises, we'll pick #5, all eyes on Hughes and Molson, because I think Demidov slips to us.

 

[PavelBrendl]

Celebrini to SJ is fine.

The thought of Demidov to Chicago makes me want to vomit though.

 

[sampollock]

CHICAGO will pick the Little Russian

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

DEMIDOV!

 

[The Great Weal]

Habs have had good lottery luck in recent years in that we haven't dropped. It still sucks though because I wouldn't be surprised if Hawks go for Demidov and Jackets go for Lindstrom.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

I'll do cartwheels naked, then, Imagine if we pass on Demidov...

Is the knee not a real concern though?

Genuinely asking.

 

[SOLR]

Chicago is picking a D.

 

[sampollock]

You never know what the Hawks do

 

[jj cale]

This has got Cayden Lindstrom written all over it.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

If San Jose didn't Win they wouldn't have much hope and maybe end up in Portland or San Diego in a year or two of the NHL bailing them out ala Arizona style

 

[Naslundforever]

ooops 6:30 , not 7:30.

so 5th!

 

[V13]

Chicago is picking a D.

It's certainly possible but Demidov on the wing of Bedard must be tempting as hell

 

[Tuggy]

This also means the Habs will be able to win the McKenna lottery

 

[MarkovsKnee]

well CHI will get Hagens and McKenna anyway.

Pittsburgh will get McKenna. They'll definitely be bad by 2026. Chicago will be improved by then with all their prospects coming up.

 

[FrankMTL]

Happy that San Jose won if it wasn't Montreal. They need Celebrini the most.

I would have lost it if Chicago won again.

 

[Rob Sense]

Habs have had good lottery luck in recent years in that we haven't dropped. It still sucks though because I wouldn't be surprised if Hawks go for Demidov and Jackets go for Lindstrom.

some of these teams are taking Ds

 

[26Mats]

Good no Chicago

But they get Demidov.

 

[The Great Weal]

Chicago is picking a D.

I think so too, but drafting Demidov isn't entirely out of the question for them. They got like no forwards after Bedard.

 

[Whitesnake]

This also means the Habs will be able to win the McKenna lottery

Hagens-McKenna....let's go.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Glad we didn't drop. Don't put it past Hughes trying to move up to 2, as Chicago could use a D, and the extra assets may be enticing enough to them.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

The least exciting “lottery” of all time? Not one team changed position. Good for the Habs to hold their spot, but less entertaining than watching curling, poker and darts.

 

[jaffy27]

Chicago is picking a D.

Agree…Buim or Silayev

 

[domiwroze]

So they leaked it and said '' f*** it let's just cancel that whole lotery thing ''

 

[SOLR]

It's certainly possible but Demidov on the wing of Bedard must be tempting as hell

Not an awesome pair. Bedard is a puck hog, he needs grit with playmaking ability and that's not Demidov. If they get Demidov its to have a threat on 2 lines.

 

[Habaneros]

SJ !

So happy it isn't Chicago

So , the leak earlier was 100% right...San Jose was first on the board... ..and won.

DANG...San Jose was 4 to 1 odds to win 1st overall....could have make a few bucks on that leak...lol..
