Perfect, we can watch our team draft 1st overall live!

 

[bukwas]

That's one event i haven't attended but that'll change.

 

[GodEmperor]

Benning will probably trade his 1st rounder that year thinking that hosting the draft ensures him the top pick.

 

[NyQuil]

So Canuck fans, who will be booed aside from Bettman?

I'm going to assume they will boo the Leafs, if they don't trade their 1st round pick in 2019.

Fifth

 

[Superlative Soup]

The boos for Benning are going to be incredible.

 

[rent free]

The sedins can announce their retirements on the draft floor. Perfect.

Boston
Toronto
Calgary

As of today Edmonton wouldn’t be just because of indifference and a lack of important games. The kings probably would though.

This is actually an exciting and smart choice to have it be Vancouver. Very cool.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I think Vancouver is a good choice. Beautiful city

We aren't your rivals. Edmonton are our rivals. Give it a rest.

Flames will still get booed

My predictions:

Flames, Blackhawks, Bruins, Leafs, Benning, Bettman

The imaginary rivalry is strong out west. But congrats to Vancouver!

Been meaning to go on a Kelowna-Van trip again. Summer of 2019 it is.

Interesting to see if Seattle will be participating in this draft

Ha! Joke's on you suckah! Flames don't have a first rounder!

 

[Tavares91Stamkos91]

I wonder which GM is gonna forget who to pick when they are about to announce it
Flashback to 2006 in Vancouver when the Flyers GM I think it was forgot who he was gonna draft.

Calgary does not have their 1st round pick in 2018.

They still have it for 2019.
