What if this draft class is perceived as good because a limited number of fortunate individuals were able to keep playing hockey during the coronavirus event, and now those individuals are substantially better than their peers, but are actually behind previous draft classes in terms of development. This exists for two reasons, because coronavirus impacted them to some degree, and also, because their competition was very low having taken a year plus off.

It would be quite easy to dominate if your competition was half what it used to be, eh?

"I still have a lot to offer an NHL team, I'm still capable and I want to continue to play and help the kids. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks and then make a decision."

Corey Perry.
Is he a good fit for the Ducks? Homecoming?

Dallas could use him. The Minnesota and Seattle matchups have shown that we are lacking some grit.

They made the NHL lottery combinations public. I don't remember them doing that before.

Rejoyce, Habs fans. I've ran a lottery simulation on Tankathon for 30 straight days, and MTL hasn't won one single time. The probabilities are now severely cranked in our favor, a win tomorrow is almost guatanteed. You're welcome.

Odds for 1st place after lottery…

1. ANA 25.5%
2. CBJ 13.5%
3. CHI 11.5%
4. SJS 9.5%
5. MTL 8.5%
6. ARI 7.5%
7. PHI 6.5%
8. WSH 6.0%
9. DET 5.0%
10. STL 3.5%
11. VAN 3.0%

Easy to pick Anaheim looking at those odds. But looking at differently…

1 = 25.5
2-3 = 25.0
4-6 = 25.5
7-11 = 24.0

…and I’m betting on a 7-11 team walking away with Bedard tomorrow.

Canucks jumping from 11 to 1 would make headlines. This is what you want Gary

If Gary were to “fix it”, I’m guessing he would pick East Coast, big market…Montreal, Philly, maybe Detroit or Chicago. As much as the hometown team would be interesting, I doubt Gary would be your ally on this one.

(I don’t think lotteries are fixed)

I want him in either Vancouver or as far away from Vancouver as possible. Bedard in Van is the best outcome for the league.
