I'm ok with mittlestadt, glass or necas. Would be pissed if we pick a dman, huge hole at c. Could see Dallas taking a dman possibly or trading down for the dman

Bullshit... so rigged, how these guys with 2, 5 and 8% chance of winning get it?
5. New Jersey Devils, 8.5
13. Philadelphia Flyers, 2.2
8. Dallas Stars, 5.8
They should do it like back in the day for the live televised lottery draw. All the balls in a drum and draw it 1 by 1 live.
The other way is to have the bottom 5 or 10 teams be eligible for the lottery. This would also prevent tanking to win #1.

Good, save the luck for next year when there seems to be a solid first overall franchise player.

I don't even care if we take a D man, if we stink long enough maybe Juolevi and whoever we draft this year will be relevant once we start adding some offense since they take so much longer to develop.

You know why the draft lottery draw of the balls in the lottery machine is not done on TV? The system is rigged!!!
Linden should have flipped tables at the end of the draft lottery. Then Aquaman yells at Billy Daly "What the fuck man???"

top 2: tanev, juuolevi
3-4's: hutton, stetcher, brisebois (tryamkin)
5-6/7: subban, mceneny?
compare that to our centers who will likely be on the team within 3 years
2c horvat
3/4c sutter.
4c gaunce

if the man you are drafting in the top5 is not an elite franchise dman like doughty, ekblad, karlson ect then don't draft a dman that high.
Canucks need scoring and need a centre to replace hank!

The result of this years lottery dictated whether I would be interested in next years team.
Needless to say, my interest level is dropped completely.

Canucks need scoring and need a centre to replace hank! | Karlsson was a mid-round pick (7th dman selected) that was chosen behind Doughty, Bogosian, Pietrangelo, Schenn, Myers, and Teubert.
Karlsson wasn't expected to go until late in the 1st round due to his size (5'11" 165) and defensive game.
Unsurprisingly, some weren't impressed with the Karlsson pick. http://slam.canoe.com/Slam/Columnist...47311-sun.html
Note: Don't hire Alfredsson as a scout.

He said that AQ was actually in the room when the draft balls were being selected. They had to hand in all their phones while the whole process was playing out, so it appears that owners of their teams either have the choice to be there for the whole process or it's mandatory.

Canucks last chance of winning the lottery was riding on #11 
In the lottery for hometown McDavid, the Leafs had the most balls (4) remaining in selecting the 4th ball. If I recall correctly, one of those four balls actually got jammed in the tube before the Oiler's ball was drawn. So I know how it feels to be so close. We got Marner out of it, so that took some of the sting out of it. At least this draft is pretty weak, so you aren't missing out on someone like McDavid.

The same process is then repeated to determine who picks second and third.
The winning combination for the New Jersey Devils proved to be 1, 5, 6, 12. The Canucks and Red Wings had the first three, but that wasn't enough to win.  |

What's worse? Jets jumping from 6 to 2 (Laine) in such an great draft year, or Philly jumping from 13 to 2 in what appears to be a lesser draft although they should still get a great player there.
