Yeah.  They will get a generational Defensemen,  a goal scorer or a play maker.  Prefer 1st but 2 and 3 are good prizes.

Yup. Obviously I want #1 but at least we got 1 of the big 3. 

 

Dahlin is obviously our biggest need (potential #1 defenseman). But Zadina would fill a huge area of need too - pure goal scoring sniper (like ovechkin but a lefty). 

 

IMO Svechnikov is less of a need with eichel, Reinhart, Mittelstadt all being god play makers but I'd take him as a consolation prize! lol

Canada owns the NHL ! Montreal has No.1 on a BS Lottery ! The only reason Edmonton won the lottery was because they were opening a $850 million arena and they wanted the Canada McDavid ! I'll be shocked if we win !

That’s the amazing thing about the NHL. They were more concerned with keeping Edmonton happy than sticking McDavid in Boston or NY. Now they have playoff games on the golf channel and half of the US has no idea who Connor McDavid is. The NHL had a chance to develop a star in a major market and potentially attract interest throughout the country.

 

It is mind-boggling that Bergman worked under David Stern. He was being trained by Yoda and ended up as C3P0.  I hope that arena is really turning out big bucks.

Originally I thought they were doing picks 15-4 during the 1st intermission and picks 4-1 during the 2nd intermission. 

 

But then they did picks 15-4 before the start of the game, so I am assuming they will do picks 4-1 during the 1st intermission. 

 

Ugh, at least I hope they do. My stomach is in knots waiting to find out. I am a nervous wreck.  I hate how much I am controlled by these Buffalo sports teams! lol

From NHL.com

 

The Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes and Montreal Canadiens have the top three picks in the 2018 NHL Draft.

The order of the top three, determined by the NHL Draft Lottery, will be announced during the second intermission of Game 2 of the Western Conference Second Round between the San Jose Sharks and Vegas Golden Knights (NBC, SN, CBC, TVAS).
