WTF
So the other team that was one ball away from getting first this year? Edmonton Oilers.
Goddamn...! Would've preferred to switch last year for this, but oh well.

There were actually 8 teams still in it at the final ball
We dropped from 20% to 9% lol

Brodin for Nylander.
Colorado getting the first pick would have been some absolute bullshit
Dopey's gonna come at you for that one

That lucky number 13 ball....
Praise be to Mats Sundin

Probably a bit, maybe not intimidated, but overwhelmed? Every single thing he does will be analyzed and talked about. Dude probably just wants to play hockey like he always has but now every shift will be OT in the finals. That dude could go anywhere in Phoenix and be just another person, in Toronto he won't be able to take a shit without someone trying to get his picture or autograph.

Thanks Mats, indeed.
Sundin's always been my favourite player. A true class act/very skilled centre. I remember how difficult he was along the end boards.
You cray

If we're talking during the lottery I think that was Kathryn tappen

I hope Matthews is good
Visiting my mom and friends in the Philly area. My mom and a friend of hers ran into a few French Canadian Phantoms guys at the social security office. I guess they were there for finance reasons.
Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Danick Martel. Those are the ones she spoke to... a few other dudes were there but she was surprised by the guys speaking French so that's what sparked the convo.
Any talent in these guys? Never heard of them.

I just got home. Respek to Calder and Jets-GAF for that 2nd overall pick. Blessings to Foggy for the 3rd overall pick.
Oilers can eat shit.
Leafs aren't going to be competitive overnight with Matthews, but I'm confident in the pieces the team currently has to make so,e improvements at least.

Leafs will finish the season with more points than Oilers, guaranteed.
Depends if we have a goalie... Leafs have a ton of talent but it isn't going to mean shit with the russian roulette tandem we have

Would be unhappy since it's a divisional rival but still not bitter if Edmonton had won it again.
Now Dreger is saying they would trade the 4th. Unless they're getting a stud defenseman back, they're fucking idiots if they won't use it to draft a blue chip D prospect.

Hoping for one of two things from the Wild perspective:
A) Trade away one of Brodin/Scandella/Spurgeon/Dumba (preferably Dumba or Brodin) for a top-10 pick in addition to the #15. Get two forward prospects with the draft picks. Preferably a Tkachuk/Nylander/Dubois + a Keller/Jost/Brown/McLeod. Good thing about this is that there are likely some teams willing to do a trade like this. Edmonton's pick is apparently in play. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Buffalo or Arizona deal away their picks.
B) Hope like hell either Keller or Jost falls to us at #15.
C) If Keller/Jost/Brown/McLeod are not there at #15, trade down to get a later 1st + 2nd or 3rd or whatever you can get. Or two 2nds. It doesn't matter. Wild have no 2nd or 3rd pick this year and the prospect pool isn't good enough to mitigate that.
I really, really doubt the Wild take a defender in the first round this year. There is no use to it. At all.

Thing is, the media would've went nuts and posted stories of the Leafs losing the 1st overall had the SNES won.
