Its draft lottery game day in the NHL. Once again.
We did this as soon as currently, back in June, and the outcomes were … well, they were intriguing. Having a placeholder team win the very first general choice developed a bizarre situation where the possibility to choose left winger Alexis Lafreniere would be “won” by a certifying round loser.
Its a crucially important moment due to the fact that Lafreniere is an extraordinary possibility who should have an instant effect on whichever group lands him. Now, rather of ending up on a genuinely needy franchise like the Red Wings or Senators, hes going to go to a group thats already good– and maybe great.
That appears like something worth breaking out a ranking for. We currently did this part too, back in June, when we were rooting for unintended funny and Team Chaos.
