[fieldset=SOLI'S SHORTSIDE]
- 11.5% McDavid; 33.5% Hanifin; 55% Uncertainty.

- After TSN made the draft lottery reveal a televised spectacle, we'll see how Sportnet handles the event.

- The Oilers representative will be assistant GM Bill Scott, and he'll be packing something special [LINK].

“I gave Bill Scott something very special,” said Bob Nicholson, the former head of Hockey Canada, who is now the umbrella boss of the Oilers organization under owner Daryl Katz.

Scott said he’s under sworn secrecy when it comes to revealing the lucky item Nicholson has requested he take with him.

- If you're interested, you can see the ping pong ball numbers designated for the Oilers. [LINK]

- Some prospect notes: Draisaitl and the Rockets eliminated Chase and the Royals, winning the series 4-1. Doubtful Chase gets to OKC for their game tonight against the Iowa Wild, but he'll probably see some game action when the playoffs kick off April 20th. Stauffer reports that contrary to some reports, Anton Slepyshev has not signed another KHL contract.

- Stay tuned after the draft lottery as the New York Rangers look to take a 2-0 series lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins. It's not about the Penguins tank, its about cheering on the glass cannon Rangers.

- Winning the lottery would be of epic proportions.

It's today! It's today!

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

Finally!

 

[Tarus]

The lucky item that Nicholson gave Scott is probably a bobblehead Tambo toy.

 

[ElFossum]

Its a new season boys! we're tied for 1st out of 14 teams!

may the odds ever be in our favour

the bad karma of this team means we're probably picking 4th

 

[ohheyhemsky]

I seriously think New Jersey is going to win. Everyone will leave mad.

 

[tiger_80]

11% chance. Well, they should be able to still draft a very good player at 3 or 4. Hanifin or a big centerman would be what the doctor ordered.

 

[PBandJ]

I seriously think New Jersey is going to win. Everyone will leave mad.

Was this the year Jersey wasn't supposed to have a first?

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

Excited for tomorrow but I long for the day when I won't be

 

[The Nuge]

Just don't be Toronto. I know a couple guys who'll make me want to shoot myself if they win it. There's a 45% chance that us or Arizona (my 2nd team) get a part of McEichel, so I'm not minding the odds too much...

 

[Da McBomb]

Go Oiler Lottery Balls!

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Please not us

 

[yukoner88]

checked out the link, my first time playing the lotto game, I draw....... the Leafs.....ugh

edit: 2nd try I pulled the Oilers LOL

 

[PBandJ]

LA needs to win for the lulz.

 

[T-Funk]

LA needs to win for the lulz.

I drew LA, Sharks, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina

 

[PBandJ]

I drew LA, Sharks, Carolina, Carolina, Carolina

I would actually be totally ok if LA won. They're my 2nd team. I love the Kings.

 

[Slicknitty]

Sharks are gonna win it.

It is known.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Arizona will win.

 

[McRpro]

I'm excited that the Oilers might win it, but damn I am terrified that the Leafs may win it. That would just be....ugh.

It's the same way I felt during the Crosby draft.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

I'm not sure why it's assumed we take Hanafin at 3

 

[Board Gordon]

Wouldn't it be something if LA won.

I'm excited that the Oilers might win it, but damn I am terrified that the Leafs may win it. That would just be....ugh.

It's the same way I felt during the Crosby draft.

That's a nightmare scenario as well.

 

[yukoner88]

With the tanking Arizona did, I would laugh if the draft order was

1. Buffalo
2. Edmonton
3. Arizona

1. Buffalo

3. Arizona

It can't be this way though.

Either Buffalo keeps the 1st or drops to the 2nd pick
Arizona wins the 1st, keeps their 2nd or drops to 3rd
Oilers win and gets the 1st, stays at the 3rd or drops to the 4th - we can't ever get 2nd.
