I have decided it shall be the Pens to make my misery of today's golf league and the draft on a crappy Monday

My money is on either Leafs or Pens because that will piss me off the most. Going to think on which of those really yanks my chain for my final prediction

Can we get him and stretch him an inch at least?

I agree the move of Mrazek was bad. I do think he benefited from the fresh start and different voices from the Carolina coaches. I also think playing behind a better team helps. If he messes up in Carolina there is a higher chance of the team bailing you out so that has to help him mentally. If this goalie is the absolute second coming of Price or Hasek or Roy then I would be okay with it ...I guess.

I think this article sums up my view of the draft bs.. https://www.mlive.com/redwings/2020/06/nhl-should-alter-draft-lottery-odds-more-in-favor-of-worst-teams.html and the last sentence shows that change is needed in the process.... "The worst team has landed the No. 1 pick only twice in the past nine years."

Slow and steady and even keeled doth our GM go...... https://www.mlive.com/redwings/2020/06/steve-yzerman-red-wings-will-get-great-prospect-with-fourth-pick.html based on that article which has snippets of the presser he never thought we would get 1. So my guess the staff has been prepping for a 2-4 pick already and they are ready to say X name unless someone offers up a too good to be true trade. While disappointed in the drop much like last year I am putting my big boy pants on as someone said earlier and watch us overcome the walls that have been built in front of us...

basically heads or tails....which is stupid as hell. IMHO The bottom 6 should have the chance to get the top 6 picks shuffling down 2?spots max. Then in order as far as points for the next level. A playoff bubble team shouldn't be able to jump to top 6. System is grossly flawed

Dear Heavenly Father Please hear our plea. We have suffered Lord and shown through the vast desert of losses we have shown our love for our team. But Lord we are pleading that you deliver us the #1 pick this year. You know the NHL has conspired against your Winged Wheel children by only giving us 18.5% of a potential game changing player. We need you almighty one to put us in the 1st spot. If you will deliver us this pick we will not complain about the coaching or goaltending till the All-Star break In thou's name ...amen

Can we take a guess on who?...

So this will be a televised zoom meeting? Will all the potential teams be on line? Or just the 5 lowest ones. I am going to bet on Stevie barely blinking if we get 1 or we get 4.

I am prepping for a worst case scenario i.e. 4th. Therefore when we get anything above 4 I can be super happy. If we get stuck @ 4 then I have already prepared so my day isn't ruined.

A nice look back at drafts past.... https://www.mlive.com/redwings/2020/06/red-wings-all-time-best-drafts-picks-in-each-round.html

sad and yet funny at the same time.....
