2020 NHL Draft

Really rooting for "mystery team" to win big at the lottery tonight.

There's a part of me that wants as-of-yet unidentified teams to win all the possible lotteries.

If it ends up being like Arizona, Carolina, and Minnesota I'll love the pure chaos idea of it. If it's Chicago/Edmonton, Montreal/Pittsburgh, and NYI/Florida I'll regret cheering for it.
 
Detroit was on pace for just 45 points this season, easily the worst in the shootout era of hockey (Colorado's 48 points in 16/17 was the next lowest). Their level of crappiness really didn't seem to get talked about enough. And for that they get the 4th overall pick.
 
The "This proves the draft lottery is rigged!" takes popping up on Twitter are pretty special. The League clearly rigged things so Lafreniere wouldn't go to LA or an original 6 team like Detroit, no, they rigged it so they have no idea where he ends up so that people will watch a second draft lottery.

I think I know why some people still won't wear masks.
 
If the RTP happens and the Leafs wind up with the first overall, would you trade down with Ottawa for 3+5 and their 2nd?

Instead of Lafreniere, it?ll be two of Byfield/Stutzle/Raymond/Rossi/Drysdale and someone like Wallinder/O?Rourke/Niemela

No. I'd trade the pick out of the division for good, young NHL-ready assets.

No. I'd trade the pick out of the division for good, young NHL-ready assets.

The tricky part with that would be finding those assets while still managing the cap. Especially since there's a good chance it'll essentially be flat for the next 3 seasons. I think I might be tempted to keep Lafreniere and try to make the most out of his ELC years.

Yeah, an absolute breath-taking tank-job should garner you at least top-3. Luck-o-the-draw. Oilers and Devils have done much better with those ping-pong balls. Leafs even.
