Proposal: We win the lottery... would you do...?

[Engineer]

well a company with 29 billion in revenues and over 200 thousand employees would not fix it.

Don't see how revenue and moral compass correlate, but sure.

Fair enough.

That being said, I think watching lottery balls floating around and getting picked qualifies as "garbage filler"

I guess - if they didn't reveal any of the team names. The Sportsnet people must figure that viewers want to see the top draft picks and the GMs interviewed.

It has nothing to do with morality

Everything to do with risk aversity

When you make a lot of money, you want to keep making a lot of money

That's funny that anyone thinks this is rigged in the Leafs favor. The Leafs are the last team the NHL would rig this draft for, they'll generate tons of money regardless of how good they are.

Also Toronto hardly cheated, and Ottawa did the same thing multiple times in the early 90s.

Better than Gretzky yeah, but better than Morgan Rielly?

Hmm... close, but yeah.

Rielly >>> Orr.

Seriously? We were an expansion team in small market in an era with no salary cap.

This might be the single most idiotic thing I've ever read on HFboards, and thats saying something...

An expansion team of players nobody wanted, tanking... LOL okay.
