Fact … I was at the Duck watch party and was saying no way we pick higher than 2nd … the grief I took …. You just knew - MtL / Chi / Det or Van were winning it -

No way us or Cbus get Bedard -

Worst record in league picks 1st last 2 yrs …. Generational player - hawks jump 2 spots …. Coincidence… yeah right -

Oilers getting threefirst picks.. no problem. Rangers getting first pick and #2 pick.. no problem. Hawks go from 3 to 1.. fix. Get out of your mom’s basement

AN HOUR!!!! Do you know what can be done to get the results Bettman wanted in an hour? If your boy Bettman wanted this to be legit, then hold the ping pong ball drop live. It's 2023, it's not that hard.

Well there are four reporters there and about six or seven local papers being shown to show the date. But you probably believe the Earth is flat and that the moon landing was staged and Elvis is alive

My son is a math genius and of all the results that could have happened statistically to the final three teams, Chicago, Anaheim, Columbus was the least likely scenario, but that's where Bettman wanted Bedard to go, so it happened.
- duxcup07

LMFAO No one in your family is a genius. Half-wit is more like it

What do you mean chicago didnt deserve the #1 pick? They got lucky and went from 3 to 1… gee what a reach. But then you being from boston have your own problems coming up.. choke artists!

Lol you might be the number 1 reason I didn’t want the hawks to get him.

Troll on

Happy Kings fan here...
Everyone who does not win something always cries how it is rigged. pathetic. Tanking does not pay anymore thanks to Edmonton exploiting that.

The Ducks today became the first team in NHL history to have a prospect named Defenseman of the Year in each of the three Canadian Hockey Leagues (OHL, QMJHL, WHL) in the same season!


Completely Badass …

I do not think the lottery is rigged.

But damn isn't it convenient when a franchise(Pit,Chi) needs help to get out of the gutter they get it.

Anaheim lost out on Crosby and Bedard while having the worst record both times.
- J35Bacher

You cant have it both ways, you cant say the NHL rigged the Bedard lottery to favor the big market team and that Bettman rigged the Crosby draft to Pittsburgh when a team like the Rangers were near the top of the lottery odds to get him. Do you think the league would've preferred Crosby in Pittsburgh or NYC?

Uh, yeah! Pittsburgh was teetering towards bankruptcy and Lemieux was threatening to move the team to KC I believe. The Pens get Crosby and what do you know? Problem solved!

lol has not played a NHL game and already being called a generational player, they seen to call all 1st OA generational these days, let them play games then we can label them.

ANA needs to avoid being the 2015 Sabers when they make Eichel feel like leftovers, who knows maybe Fantilli will end up being better than Bedard, until they play no one knows and its only speculations.

Also i honestly believe the NHL draft is rigged

also funny how they know CBJ droped to 3rd before daly even flipped tha card before a comercial break, its almost as if they know in advance .

Youre a moweron if you still dont know the actual lottery is done before the broadcast. And you didnt get screwed agan… you lost the toss. If you had won then no fix… yeah right.

Further cementing my point. You must lead quite the sad life. I come to this site to talk about hockey.

Last I checked. I didn’t play for the Bruins. Asshat

Not feeling the draft is rigged after watching it on YouTube and all of the Seravelli media posts. Sure, see the suspicion there with a big market winning just like the Rangers did two years in a row.

Fantilli is an excellent number 2, would be #1 in almost any other draft. There's your Getzlaf replacement.

I think both teams should be happy that we don't have to wallow in the draft Michkov or not camp like CBJ, SJ, MTL and the Yotes have to go through.

Does losing in the first round & giving up #1 picks two years in a row count ?

Fck’d again… anyone who couldn’t see this coming is just ignorant -
- dozerD10

Like you

Arizona: holds pre-draft workout - loses first rounder.

New Jersey: signs Ilya Kovalchuck to a contract legal at the time - loses first rounder.

Chicago: covers up sexual abuse for a decade - Connor Bedard.

Typical Buttman BS -

Boo hoo

I am sure that had your team won the lottery you would not consider it fixed

Lfs your kind of a diickhead aren't you

your team didn't deserve the pick but they got it.
boston will be better than chicago next year.
You deflecting everyone comments shows how much of a nipplehead you really are.


In short Chicago is a pos team and your a perfect fan for the team. GO HAWKS!!!! lol

So Cronin replaced Eakins

While an improvement cause well it was Eakins dunno about a first time nhl coach. Guess it is a wait and see thing there.
