I will be enraged if Chicago gets it and will call bullshit if Utah gets it. Beyond that it is what it is. Would love to see the Sharks get it but if either of those two teams get it, I call shenanigans

 

[The Nemesis]

All the images in the first post are broken for me. Feels like bad omen but also fitting for the state of the franchise.

Tabled out, odds are... not terrible?

what images?

My conspiracy theory rankings, in order:
1) Utah. Bettmann just won't let them die.
2)Chicago. Too obvious for #1 but the NHL has never been subtle
3)Montreal. Canada needs a favor, right?
4) Seattle. New toy needs some of its shine back.
5) Sharks. Oh yeah, we're still here?
6) Ottawa. When we said "Canada needs a favor" we didn't mean you.

Good news, league rules say Toronto wins. Turns out losing in the first round this many times counts the same as not making the playoffs. I can't explain it, but I think it's kind of like when you hit the shift key half a dozen times AND IT COUNTS AS CAPS LOCK

 

[Mafoofoo]

Gary before you rig the lottery just think of the potential Sharks - Warriors marketing money

 

[Alaskanice]

My goodness, have some hope people. We have the best chance, under these rules, to get the first overall pick. I’m hoping we get it.

We are all hoping we get it. There’s a likelier chance we don’t get it than do though.

Looking at the scout poll, if we aren't #1 overall, I feel like a trade down would be really ideal. Sounds like Montreal is really focused on the forwards, and if they think their guy will be gone at 5-7 (Demidov or Lindstrom), it would make sense, I think.

Ofcourse, for all we know Grier could be excited to take one of the forwards, but I think most of us feel it is Celebrini or dman.

Sharks drop to 3rd, trade their whole draft Ricky Williams style, to the #2 team to move up a spot, draft Eiserman. Grier & Burke high five and take the rest of the weekend off.

stop it

Ok. They trade the rest of the draft except the pens pick. Draft Eiserman. Draft Dickenson. Then high-ten and take the weekend off.

 

[mogambomoroo]

I'm ready for #3 pick, just so I don't get too disappointed. But I will go crazy happy if we win it. Crazy that it's tomorrow.

 

[ThorNton Apologist]

This team could really use a lucky bounce…

 

[sharski]

which bar is the meetup at

 

[Juxtaposer]

Are y’all seriously gonna watch his live? I’d have a cardiac event. I’m gonna lock my phone up and go for a half hour walk. I’ll find out when I find out.

 

[LilLeeroy]

I hope Rick is going to be absolutely furious tomorrow night

I’ve been thinking about doing the same.

 

[sharski]

I demand they play this publicly at SAP Center so we can meetup there and our collective response can be livestreamed and preserved

He literally got interviewed by Sheng and said he’d be happy to see Macklin go to the Sharks.

Chicago? Scam
Anaheim? Scam
New Jersey? Scam
Utah? Scam. Do they even have a name?

The rest are kind of OK.
