NHL Draft Lottery

Retaining #4 is very, very good.

Yes it is.

All you people looking on the bright side to this can buzz off.

Retaining #4 is very, very good.

Yes it is.

Yup.

I wonder what this means for Strome and Hanifin, really. Arizona needs help pretty much everywhere. I can see them taking either or them, or even Marner.

Edmonton - 4 1st overall picks in 6 years.  No pick worse than 7th.  Unreal.

"The Edmonton Oilers picking 1st overall for the fourth time in six years...an incredible run".

Ummmmmmm....

We stink dudes...

I guess could be worse.  Buffalo fans must be crushed.

Retaining that 4th is indeed quite good. Practically 1st overall in many other draft years.

I think Edmonton was taking Hanifin for sure there. Arizona opens that up to a different possibility, which could leave Hanifin available for us.

THIS STILL SUCKS THOUGH

Haha...I love you, barney...

Same with Arizona.

Also, I wonder if Edmonton might be open to moving Draisaitl or RNH now.

Yeah, this was the one scenario that makes you think Strome could go 3rd.  Will make things more interesting, I think.

Right on queue

It's probably one of their best opportunities to truly improve their team.  They can afford to move a good, young center or prospect, now.

And Leafs haven't since 1985.

And, with a significant need for improvement on the blue line, do they maybe make a serious run at Phaneuf? There's potential for this to really have played out pretty favourably for the Leafs.

Hall, McDavid, and Eberle.  Welcome back offense.

You've got to think they are - their defense needs a ton of work. Can I start the Phaneuf for RNH rumours?
