General talk ab Lafreniere. Talk ab where you want him to go or crap your pants about where you don’t want him to go idc.
Personally, I’d like to see Minnesota or Blue Jackets win him. If one of the 4 I mentioned in the poll win him I’ll lose my mind.

Minnesota would be great, since they haven’t drafted top 3 since they drafted Gaborik in their 1st NHL Draft. Also they play in the western conference. Other than that WPG might be good, because they would’ve gotten him if not for the expanded playoffs.

CBJ would be my second choice after MIN, but I don’t think they’re going to lose to the Leafs. NSH wouldn’t be bad either.

Edit: If I were Lafrenière, the Rangers might be one of the teams I would hope gets me the most. Or EDM/WPG.

That last statement makes me cringe since I’m an isles fan, but ur probably right. I’d imagine them or maybe Nashville since they could be great contenders w Laf

I’d be worried about big contracts and goaltending for NSH. The Rangers have a great young core that will be really good for a long time. Although Nashville does have the benefit of having all their contracts locked in, while the Rangers will have to give Kakko & Shesterkin more money on their 2nd contracts.

Not to mention the amount they’d have to pay Lafreniere after the 3 years, if Laf goes to them it’s cap hell for them in a couple years

For the sake of the forums, I hope he doesn't end up in PIT, EDM or TOR.

For the sake of his career, I hope he doesn't end up in FLA.

For the sake of my own personal satisfaction, I hope he doesn't end up in NYR.

This likely leaves either MIN, NSH or WPG. If he goes one of these teams, I'll be so freaking relieved.

So if the NHL had decided to wait until after the play-in round to do the lottery, and the results were the same, Florida would have the 1st overall pick.

As a Devils fan, I pray he lands in the West. Anywhere outside the Metro is actually fine. As a hockey fan in general, I was hoping to see him in MTL. Imagine if PIT gets him? MTL fans will be heartbroken...unless MTL goes on a run, of course.

It would be more depressing if the lowest seeded team gets him (whether that’s MIN or WPG), since that means we would’ve got him if we lost to Pittsburgh. But, whatever. There’s nothing that can be done about it now. The only thing to focus on is the playoffs for the habs.

I can't believe people think it's rigged when they literally show the lottery itself. People that say that are beyond help.

Let's look at some scenarios.

If the Rangers beat Carolina, Nashville would have 1st.
If Minnesota beat Vancouver, Vancouver would have 1st.
If any one of Arizona, Montreal, or Chicago lost their series, Winnipeg would have 1st.
