FYI, rank tankathon.com 50 times... Washington won the 1st pick 14 times and the 2nd pick 5 times. I'll bet when the NHL fixes this lottery the contenders will be: * Montreal - history, young core of budding offensive stars, etc. * Chicago - obviously a league favorite of old. The fan base disappears if they suck for long. * Washington - the hand off from Ovi to Bedard. Bedard riding shotgun when Ovi breaks the goals record. The fairly tale BS about a changing of the guard., etc All of these teams are in the East, or will be with a Huston expansion. I don't see them allowing the current top star and future top star of the league both being in the West, out of sight of the east coast prime time viewership. It goes without saying our 5% chance is really 0% since we're not allowed nice things in Gary's NHL.

Apart from Toews being sacked and the Leafs impending doom, the next best thing has been the Pens pissing the bed. Now theyve fired their president and GM lmao. Glorious. I smell a classic Yzerman trade coming at the draft or the offseason... Pens, Flyers, and Preds are suddenly under new management. Do they want to shed some pieces? NYI, Jets, and Leafs might have total meltdowns this summer, especially if they exit the playoffs early. Ducks have the worst defense in like 20 years. Does Verbeek wanna give us a roster player for one of our glut of LHD prospects he would be familiar with? Erik Karlsson is still availble in SJS. NYR, Boston, and Edmonton may be forced to release or trade some good players in the offseason. Our goaltending failed us again this year. Is SY going to go out acquire soneone yet again?

Bah..... practically every other major sport has ties like this decided by who was worse the prior season. We should be 8th.
