If they miss playoffs and all those UFA's leave in free agency, I genuinely hope they do win the lottery. That would be the one way the hockey gods could set things right.

One thing is for sure, If you do win the lottery and take Hughes, playing him on the 4th line would easily be one of those things that would give the hockey gods instant regret about using their divine power on you..

The Jackets are owed something, from hockey deity or from just plain luck. All of those 10 years or so , 2000-2010 they had top 8 pick every year and never won the top spot.

Hughes wouldn’t stay there on the 4th line long, it would be fun to have someone push Dubois and Duchene, who could both play LW.

Detroit hasn't had a #1 pick since 1986. With your logic wouldn't Detroit get the #1 pick.

No. We are talking about playoffs here. Detroit was too busy making the playoffs and winning cups to get high draft position.

Tortz has been playing PLD garbage minutes lately and you think he would use Hughes correctly? I don't even know if he would draft him. He's probably complain he doesn't hit anyone and isn't physical enough. Right before putting him on the 3rd line and saying he needs development with the Monsters.
