It's kinda crazy really to think that 14 teams have a chance at getting a franchise-altering player tomorrow.

Redleaf I don't have a handgun but could have posted you a Valium, not enough time now. I will be sure to have some on hand for tonight and some Bacardi to wash it down.

If the Leafs win the McDavid lottery, I'll expect the world to explode minutes later!!! :'(
Bettman will MAKE SURE we don't get McDavid!
If only Bettman would realize how much more MONEY the NHL would make from McDavid Leaf jersey sales alone. It would be an INSANE money maker to have McDavid as a Leaf! ;D
Put McDavid in Phoenix Bettman, he'll make that franchise more profitable than the Leafs! ???

I'm willing to sacrifice all my future 6/49 winnings to guarantee the Leafs win the lottery. That's pretty much multiple millions of dollars I'm going to forgo just for the Leafs. I hope I'm justifiably given my due karmic reward for this noble sacrifice I make for all of us.

4. Toronto Maple Leafs
Odds of Winning Lottery: 9.5%
Connor McDavid?s Nickname If Drafted: Jesus Christ
Why We Should Pray They Win Lottery: McDavid joins the Leafs. Mike Babcock comes over from Detroit to coach him and the city of Toronto actually gets to plan a parade and not have the rest of the hockey world mock them for their unearned hubris.
Why We Should Pray They Don?t Win Lottery: Unless you like to literally hear a young athlete?s soul crushed by expectations and the unwavering scrutiny of the Toronto media, best not hope McDavid is a Leaf.

Nah. This kid is not even a kid. He can handle us, and he WANTS us:
"At the end of the day it's the NHL, it would be awesome to go anywhere, any team," McDavid said. "But yeah, there are a couple of places you maybe think about more. It's not for me say but, obviously, the fact I grew up in Toronto as a Maple Leaf fan speaks for itself. Maybe you think about some places that are a little closer to home or whatever..."

Yeah, the look on his face when we win the lottery in 6 hours is going to be amazing.
