Game Thread: 2019 NHL Draft Lottery

[Judge Fudge]

You know me groo. I try not to be funny but......

It just comes naturally

 

[Judge Fudge]

Im sure benning will try and trade the pick

We need to keep him away from the phones.


Now where did I put that Baseball bat.......

 

[Judge Fudge]

Now that was a good fair lottery!

Kaapo to New York. Make it happen.

No....

All lotteries are unfair Zook

 

[Judge Fudge]

Think he's NTC protected now so I doubt he'd waive it to go to a rebuilding team.

Maybe Vancouver can try for Shea Weber.

 

[Judge Fudge]

The Athletic was already done a mock draft.

If we get who they suggest. I can be happy

Cool thread.

Who will be this year's Henrik Zetterberg?

Who gets the honor of being the Olli Juolevi?

Who?

 

[Judge Fudge]

Who?

Matthew Boldy USNTDP LW

Botchford: Call this the Elias Pettersson draft pick. The young centre needs a left winger who can score and Boldy is a sniper who can make plays too. That second part is so important because Pettersson has the best shot on the team, giving this potential duo a lethal ceiling. Boldy has elite hockey IQ, which is huge for anyone hoping to keep up with Pettersson over the long run. Boldy also has a pro level shot and is elite in and around the net, a skill that Jonathan Dahlen has and he was one of Pettersson’s favorite linemates in Sweden.

- glad the big 2 are going out east
- glad the avs and kings got fucked hardest
- canucks down only 1, not the worst case, so that's better than expected
shame we won't get a chance for Byrum
- they should really send the mascots to represent the teams

Top 2 picks coming into the division...yay....

 

[forty_three]

Why do we need an hour to figure this out?

AD REVENUE

Oh good delaying this more lol

"Let's go back to Katherine to ask the same questions of a 17 year old kid who is definitely not trying to look down her shirt!"

Woohoo hughes in the east

Top two in the Metro. God is dead.

Hughes isn't going first. BOOK IT!

I still remember the cringe-fest from the Seth Jones year. They kept talking to him, and tried to make it all "what a lovely story, Jones' hometown Avalanche are picking first - Seth, how will it feel to go home?" Seth handled it well like "Uhhh, no guarantees"

He went fourth.

Sad Jim Benning on tv right now.

Best part of the night.

Kings drop to 5th

Fuck Jeff Carter

- they should really send the mascots to represent the teams

Would be worth it to see Gritty lose his shit when they aren't first.



Also, is Joe Sakic melting?

Sucks to have Kaako in the East.

I'm not so sure that I'm gonna lose any sweat over Hughes being in the East. He's going to be a very good player but I don't think he's an Eichel or Matthews level player. I think he's a slightly better Clayton Keller. Maybe I'm wrong and he'll be an elite C in the NHL but I'm far from convinced. He's going to be fun to watch for sure though.

Hasn't been the same since wrestling with his snow blower.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Friedman: The numbers were 12-4-2-10, a combination that lined up with New Jersey. After the first three were drawn, the odds favoured the Devils, who had four of the 11 possibilities for the final ball. Philadelphia had three. The others belonged to Colorado, Los Angeles, the Rangers and Vancouver.

i think we need to trade for Taylor Hall

worst winning % in the past four years combined
picked 5, 5, 7, 10

I'm just glad the Canucks selected the defenseman from the London Knights instead of the forward.

Maybe Vancouver can try for Shea Weber.

That would work for me. From one team I dislike to another...
