Description

Did anyone notice during the draft lottery show, before they announced the top 3 picks on ESPN, John Buccigross state the top pick is between Chicago and Anahiem. Problem is that the 3 top pi ks were not known yet, as when the came back from the commercial Bull Daly wished luck to Columbus, Chicago and Anaheim. Now it could be nothing but seems strange.

They did all the lottery balls ahead of time, and the draw is witnessed by an independent 3rd party (last year it was Deloitte, not sure who it is this year). I'll bet some of the media are given a heads up in advance so they can prepare their graphics for the reveal, on the condition that they don't reveal it ahead of time.

Of course it's rigged.... would you rather have Bedard (a generation talent) go to a market like Anaheim or Columbus if your the NHL, no you don't.
