Marner is a buy low candidate, but even thats too low.

If Bettman could rig it...it would go to Utah. His job is to expand viewership. Maybe CHI to get that large market going again, but Buffalo isn't on his list of teams.

Celebrini got dropped from Team Canada...guess CHI wants to save the Bedard-Celebrini show for their season opener.

Utah would more likely than CHI. Just 1 man's opinion, but I very much doubt CHI wins it even though they have the 2nd best odds.

Maybe, but considering the quality of players/prospects that UTAH already has and the fact that they will likely become a prime destination for UFAs, I don't think they would need the help. I would agree that if the goal was to increase viewership to grow the Utah market in particular, then Celebrini to UTAH would make the most sense. Celebrini to CHI would be more about helping CHI build another dynasty and milking that fanbase, but there's also the potential to grow national viewership in the long run if they end up building a dynasty,

I just think keeping all the elite of elite out west isn't smart. Mcdavid, MacKinnon, Petterson, Eichel, Bedard, and Celebrini? Idk.. That just seems like too much... Outside of Toronto w/ the big 3 forwards, there's not much ELITE in the East. Especially Centers

Plenty of elite wingers and goalies in the East, but that's a good point that most of the centers are in the West but to be fair the East had Crosby, Malkin, Giroux, Bergeron, Stamkos and Tavares. East also has Jack Hughes and Barkov. Also...Eichel was drafted by an eastern team, ehm, Buffalo, and they blew it. Yeah, no rigged draft for you.

If Buff wins the lotto tonight does this prove there is no meddling? Maybe Bettman will rig this one FOR buf to make people spreading the "conspiracy" believe it is not rigged. He can then continue to rig in the future without suspicion. In my opinion, this is what Betts should do

If BUF wins, then yes, it means there's no meddling with a small chance that KA bribed or blackmailed Bettman.
