The way Norris trophy voting goes nowadays, I doubt Seider wins it with just 40 points.

Actually, the 1st round will still have 31 picks because Arizona is giving up theirs.

The draft has 32 teams next year.

I went back and looked at the last few lotteries. Considering the placeholder that originally won this year's 1st overall pick belonged to Winnipeg who had the 12th best odds, 12th best odds has won a top 3 pick 3 years in a row. I also find it funny that The Rangers and Jets have both moved up from 6 to 2 in previous lotteries, and now they essentially both won the lottery this year.

Sad to read, but true nontheless.

I wonder what number Perfetti takes if he's the pick. Cause I'm pretty sure he won't be wearing 91.

If Yzerman is taking Perfetti, I really hope it's for no other reason than him believing he's the best a available.

I personally don't see Cole Perfetti as a top 5 guy in this draft, but I'm preparing myself for him being the pick.

I'd rather "get screwed" next year and save our luck for Shane Wright

I just finished taking the Wings on a 16-1 2028 stanley cup run.

My only problem with the Rangers getting 1st overall is, as I mentioned earlier, that division has been WAY too lucky in the lottery that last 4 years.

The Metro wins another top 3 pick, and they get 1st overall for the 3rd time in 5 years.

Awesome. We have their 2nd round pick.
