Got no love for the leafs, but rather you get Matthews than a western team, and the oilers could use laine/pulujarvi/chycrun more anyway

Good luck tonight peeps. You'll need it

The Oilers could use a good swift kick in the gonads for even being in the draft picture.
Get a team already would ya ?



These words are all in fun and meant from the heart, & not meant to antagonize, at all.

It's behind closed doors..so Ari / Oil / Habs would be my guess

Well, each team sends a rep to the lottery draw to keep it absolutely above board.


If not, then you know that Bettman would repay Montreal and Arizona with the top two picks...

What is really the funniest is that Toronto fans keep coming back to this and try to keep making it it a thing.

This is for all that Gretzky has done for the league though. Thus the behind close doors. Betman's getting a bit anxious as teams are starting the question their suspicions. Next season when they allow all teams, including playoff teams a shot at the 1st, and Edmonton win again, poops gonna go down. They will have to do it geographilly, we're we work top left down to bottom right (starting with teams whose names begins with a vowel)

I have no idea why they don't do an actual lottery jambolla (think that's a word? ) thing. Why the pre packaged envelopes?

I am pretty sure if the situation was reversed, you would never mention it!

Nope. It's funny on it's own.

The NHL reserves the right to establish whatever draft order they wish.

This draft is going to be extremely hard for anyone picking 4-15.

Watching Jost,Keller,Logan Brown rise so high lately could cause some distractions.

I really would like to see the leafs jump into the 7-14 picks with the Pitts 1st

@TLNdc: Nikita Zaitsev is a step closer to signing with the Leafs. Here's why that's exciting: theleafsnation.com/2016/4/30/last… pic.twitter.com/6H70VAOJhP

I wouldn't doubt there's been some tinkering in the past (or mulligans)

Iggy would never take advantage of an opportunity to laugh at anything to do with Toronto.

Dead funny

It is. 25 years from now when McDavid is retired and never played a game for the leafs you'll all still be looking back and whining about it.

Well.... because multi-million dollar business models are almost always corrupt, and our glorious american lawyer commish & his posse are no exception. My 2 pennies.

Pitts 1st and Winnik?

Are we currently owning Winnik?

Of course it's a thing. Though I'm somebody who actually likes the city of Edmonton and very much enjoyed living there, so I don't see why people would hate it. Sure it gets cold in the winter, but this is (frank)ing Canada; nut up and deal with it!

Agreed. Although I do wish he would (frank) off back to his own weekly thread

Can't be doing with clowns like him today
