In all honesty, is it fair if Toronto or Edm get the #1 ovr pick if they lose?

No they just don't have the depth after McDavid and Draisaitl.

If they get the #1 pick they will be on top of he West for the next half decade.

Chicago even traded Lehner.

No, they're losing because they forgot how to play defence. I'm sure they want to win and not disappoint McDavid; they've tanked enough.
The 1 OA pick is just a consolation prize if you lose, I'm sure teams aren't going to deliberately tank (with exception to Montreal) for the pick.

No, Edmonton and Toronto are playoff teams, they don’t deserve to get the 1st overall pick. The only teams that deserve it in the playoffs right now are Montreal, NYR, and Chicago

If edmonton gets another 1st OA then i might as well quit watching the NHL cause within 10 years Edmonton will have had 5 1OA and they wasted 2 of em

Hall - traded in a robbery
Hopkins
Yakupov - gone
Mcdavid
Lafreniere

Yeah I mean I don’t want to automatically lose two or three games a season, and just so tired of watching them get 1 OA if it was a defenceman who was the consensus #1 then it would be different because they clearly need some

Let’s give Chicago some credit they are all over the puck moving their legs unlike oilers so far. Hopefully they show up and play the second period.

When the NHL did the Lottery and it was revealed the 8 teams that lose the Q Round would have a 12% chance, I immediately thought of the Oils and Leafs. Neither of them are a bad team and have had amazing picks in the past. IMO the NHL should not allow a team to draft #1 ovr more than 1 in 5 years or something...

These are pro athletes they aren’t purposely losing for 1st overall.. Towes is just playing like it’s 2013 again.

The Leafs drafted 1st twice in the last 50 years. Don't lump them with the Oilers who drafted 1st 4 times in the last 10 years.

To be fair the pens are getting older so I wouldn’t be as mad as a couple years ago. I don’t expect CAR to lose but they wouldn’t be bad. They are a very hardworking team and exciting to watch. They would be lethal if Laf joined them

They got Matthews. I'm lumping Matthews #1 ovr with McDavid #1 ovr.
