The NHL will be holding it’s Draft Lottery on Tuesday Night 5/7.
I discuss the Devils chances at moving from their current #10 spot, as well as some past lottery wins and my vision for what the team should do with the pick.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

OH THE DRAFT LOTTERY IS ON TUESDAY-? I DIDN’T REALIZE-.
The internet will be FURIOUS if we win another lotto 😅 make it so, hockey gods
Sucks we’re even in the lottery conversation again, but obviously would love to see the balls bounce our way.
I would trade any other pick but #1. Draft Celebrini just in case Jack’s shoulder doesn’t heal properly or it puts him out long term.
Devils have other pieces to make a deal with. Plus any top 10 pick is a pretty good bargaining chip to add to a deal.
I bet the Leafs end up with Saros.
They may even end up with Brady.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Right now I’m 100% with my Bracket picks. Just need Dallas to win tonight.
I find it dumb that the second round starts before the 1st round ends. Nice scheduling NHL.

I'd be interested in drafting Anton Silayev a big 6'7" DFD who skates like he's 5'7", Sam Dickinson is also interesting he's 6'3" but looks like more of an all around Nemec, McAvoy TWD type. Otherwise yeah I'd be ok with using the pick in a trade.
Absolutely would trade the pick for Thachuck….you get him, and hey may even get Nico to drop the gloves and hit more….and then when your captain starts doing it, everyone does….and that is EXACTLY what the Devils need.
NJD also won the draft lottery in 2011 to draft Adam Larsson. NJD fans really got nothing to complain about when it comes to the lotto luck. I'll be happy if they just don't move down.
I’m so over high draft picks. Trade! Trade! Trade!
Man, to think that Nico is already 25 years old. When you put it that way, makes it tough even if we do get the 1, 2, or 3 draft picks.
Id trade the pick for sure. And im with you on Tkachuk. I also want a veteran defensive defenseman. A Forsling type guy. Curious who you would want and who you think we can get.
I like your idea, email Fitz…Call, Hell send smoke signals and get his attention!!! LOL
Pretty sure Celebrini was tanking himself so he didnt have to play with the Sharks XD
Dont forget Brady has family ties to Fitzgerald and his wife is from the Jersey shore. It could work.
All these years and I can’t figure out how the draft lottery works. For instance what is keeping the Sharks getting a high pick and not fall to the 16th pick? If it’s a lottery, how are the odds in favor of SJ getting the 1,2 or 3 pick, and nothing worse?
