The actual lottery is on YouTube. Bettman even shows the day’s newspapers to limit, but not prevent, the tin foil hat brigade.

We meet our players at the airport with wings. Do you guys do this poop too with pizza

Probably. Such a lame offering considering some other Chicago staples. Deep dish is ok once in a great great while. Should bring him a beef sandwich from Johnnie's...and a packet of napkins.

Deep dish isn’t pizza.

Wow. #1 pick.
Seeing the season ticket sales ramp up really shows my hometown has some serious, serious hockey fans. I love it.

I hope they draft for guys they know have off the charts compete levels. That's what got then to the promised land last time.

I read a comment from someone that Bedard brings Toews compete, maturity and leadership and Kane’s compete and skill.

Casserole? Definitely not my goto when ordering pizza.

If he doesn’t score in his first game I’m betting the BOD starts the comparison.

First shift if he doesn't register a point he'll be labelled a bust and #kdfail.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but another benefit of winning the lottery with a clear 1st selection (and especially with so many picks in the top 60) is the amount of research and hours it frees your staff to deep dive options for the lower picks.

Imagine if they were drafting #4 or #5 the amount of energy and time working through different scenarios, deciding if Michkov (sp) is worth the risk, if they should go the safe route, if Smith will have the same results in the nhl? All of that time and research and discussions now be reallocated to the #19 pick (speak it into being) as well as the 2nd rounders, and deciding if the opportunity arises what to pay to move up.

Dividends all around.

Great point.

Now let’s let FL lock up #19 for us tomorrow after we locked up #1

Also KD can get creative, perhaps use some of the draft picks to move up if a certain player is available.

Well obviously!!

what an exciting time to be a hawks fan. this is THE draft that puts us back into contention. Lets see how creative KD can be with lots of assets to make moves and all that glorious CAP Space!

The NHL draft is totally rigged, and I will gladly turn a blind eye, because at least they know where the most important market is! LFG!

So this morning I'm reading the news on yahoo and there's a picture of Bill Daley holding the card with the hawks logo and he has a wonderfully disgusted look on his face.

How is it rigged? What’s your proof?

I have no proof, guy. Just happy to wake up and have hope. Go back to bed.

I grew up in the city and all we ate was thin crust from mom and pops pizza joints. My wife grew up in the suburbs and loves deep dish. I haven’t met anyone from the city that prefers deep dish over thin crust. When we fly home I go directly from O’Hare to my favorite mom and pop, pizza in Florida sucks. Back to hockey, can’t wait to see what KD does on 6/28. Go Hawks!
