Im thinking Tuomisto is going to be the guy with Edvinsson this year. Yzerman guy, and doing it the way Yzerman wants. Im excited to see a big, mobile defense. Once they all get their top heaviness kinks worked out, it will be fun to watch.

We need to add Nylander. That's a must. 7x11 is fine.

I like it

We need a good lines thread

Edmonton sucks

I miss Feds

We are fine at D. We need O.

Everybody is saying this draft class is so special. Im not seeing it. I think Fantilli is going to be the best of it. A leon draisaitl typle. Bedard is going to end up like Mitch Marner. Really good,but nowhere near generational type.

Is our #17 and (3) 2nds worth a top 10 pick?

Id like trade 17 and our 3 2nds to WA fot #8.

I dont think Bedard is going to turn out to be as good as everybody thinks, tbh. Fantilli is the real deal, tho.

How many players in the draft do you consider sure fire top line forwards?

yah, thats nice.

The FACT that this is not LIVE and the list of combos is NOT available is enough for me to say you're just WRONG. This s*** sucks really bad. Would you buy a lotto scratcher if you knew someone had scratched off the foil of 14 of them and seen all the numbers already, and then said they'd read one of them to you one box at a time? What if you and your sibling bought one each and you didnt get to scratch them and your dad scatched them himself without you getting to see. And then read the first one to you "Play Station - Play Station - Lunch Box. Sorry Son." And then read it to your brother "Play Station - Play Station - Play Station!!!" I'm sure you wouldnt be suspicious at all. My ass. And can someone please check the two watches in the lotto video? Im curious if the time is what Gary said it was.

According to your mom, it's all good

Lidstrom's only serious injury at the WORST time. That sucked.

yup, 2nd behind phoenix/mesa in population. Houston Hockey Nuts. The fans would love it. You guys are nuts! Yah, we're nuts!

Ok, so I totally misunderstood the ball draw. I was thinking order of balls was important, and its not. Its just teams percentage chance of pick X number of 4 ball combos (1,000) = how many combos each team gets. So the statistics argument cannot prove the lottery is rigged. And so we are only left with the following: Why is Betman doing the newspaper thing at the beginning? Why does he have to provide an "Im not lying" statement right at the start? Why is the sheet with the combos not made available to all before the balls are selected and the balls selected a live event? Of intetest - When Betman introduces the individuals, you can see the faces of 2 of their watches very clearly. I cant make out the times on them from my phone. Can anyone else see them clearly and verify the time Betman has given is acurate? Would be interesting if both of them read 10:30 and Betman lied about the recording time.

Anybody know anything about Willander? Seems like word is out on Reinbacher and he willbe long gone by pick 9.

Kip, youre way off here. Watch the video. Every team in the league did NOT have a rep in the room. And nobody in the room had ever been seen before besides Gary Betman. And the Chicago Blackhawks guy in the room didnt get excited when the last ball was called out. And the other teams guys in the room didnt gasp when the last ball was called out. Thats cuz there was only one guy with a magic sheet. And he whispered "Chicago" for some stupid reason. And the sum of the balls ended up being 31, which one of the MOST LIKELY sums statistically for a 4 ball pull from 1 to 14 after eliminating the 24 ways 11,12,13,14 could be pulled from from the accepted pool. Sums of 10 to 49 being the least likely, sums of 29 and 30 being the most likely with 29.5 being the mean over an infinite amount of draws. This draft lottery is RIGGED. And it matters. If it's rigged, it could mean that we never had a chance in any of the previous years. This shouldnt just be an oh well situation. It hurts the integrity of the sport and fans of teams like ours that have been shoved down draft positions continually should be upset.

He knows Arizona is on its way to failure. See my post above.

Why do people say things like "Chicago sells out every game"? https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2023/04/17/Leagues-and-Governing-Bodies/nhl-attendance-regular-season.aspx 20 second fact check. Attendance down 7.2%. If they ended up with Red Wings luck and got the #6 pick, where do you think 2023-24 ends up? NY, LA, Chi, Edm, and Tor are the markets Betman is making sure thrive. As a testament to Detroit's fan base, they go into a "Dead Things" spell for 8 years and still fill the arena up 95% of the way. The Chicago move was the correct one. And why havent any of you NERDS answered me on the statistics? Youre all f king tool bags that should be able to easily figure that out. IT'S FOOKING RIGGED IS WHY!!! Why isnt the sheet with 1000 number combos on it made available online before the draft if it's real. The whisper suit guy with his secret combo sheet is rslurred as it gets.

agreed. The ONLY challenge for Boston is their prospect pool being short winger, defensemen, and goalies. They have 4 centers in their top 7 prospects tho, so this "hole down the middle" stuff isnt going to be permanent. And as I said before, replacing 38 year olds with 22 year olds isnt always a negative despite the talent and experience drop.
