Punish a franchise because of a few bad apples. You people are pathetic
If we ever needed more evidence we are living in the worst timeline…
If you don’t see the lottery machine or the bouncing balls, it’s rigged. No transparency. They should have lost that pick anyway for the scandal they had.
Leaked
#rigged
Rigged! They screwed the Ducks.
If you thought anyone other than Montreal or Chicago was getting the first overall you’re nuts, NHL loved their original six sweethearts
So the team with sexual harassment goes from 3rd to 1st wow! At least keep them at best 2nd. But first?!
Rigged
Happy jackets getting Michkov or Fantili. Love what they’re building 🥰

If Chicago get bedard that would be amazing
Totally rigged. With Edmonton and now this. How come Arizona never got a #1 these past years blow my mind. Doesn't matter if u tank or not the nhl will always pick the #1 pick no matter what "formation" they use
Rigged
Worst case scenario just happened
Fix… lol sad really…
LOL!!!!! what a rig show.
If Conner Bedard is going to be drafted by an American team, at least it's one where there's an appreciation of hockey. An original six market. I look forward to seeing him play in that iconic sweater.
why people saying it rigged? Can someone explain me?
last thing I wanted was the habs getting #1
Totally Rigged
Thats rigged as heck.. blackhawks don’t deserve that pick. Redwings deserve that pock
Bedard better watch his butthole
I’m still wondering how every team from 4-16 picked EXACTLY as projected. I haven’t paid much attention to lotteries before. Is this normal?
I guess every team better start raping their prospects.
Прикольная лотерея когда уже таблички готовые вынесли 😂😂😂
And as expected my Ducks getting screwed over once again. Get rid of the lottery and take some notes from the NFL. The worst team of the season should get the first pick. I can only hope the second pick is a blessing in disguise and he turns out to be a player like Draisaitl
Fixed
Happy for the Chicago fans, you all are gonna have such a time watching that once in a lifetime talent. But lowkey I hate that the Blackhawks brass get Bedard after all the sexual assault/harassment stuff. They got the Toews and Kane dynasty, and now that thats ended they immediately get a player thats gonna be better than either one ever was. Feelsbadman
With the #1 pick in the 2023 NHL Draft the Chicago Blackhawks select Connor Bedard … let’s go baby! 🥵
League should of forced Chicago to relocate
I understand all the factors that play into it but I wish the NHL draft was like the NFL. The worst team gets the first pick simple as that. Anaheim got screwed
Rigged.

So changing the draft to stop tanking really help here lol Chicago still wins after basically tanking and trading everyone away lol.
😂
WE NEED TO SEE a LIVE drawing NOT PRE-SELECTED cards behind CLOSED DOORS that the NHL CHOSE. RIGGED!!!!!!
Ofc! This is what Chicago needs for their rebuild once they get rid of toews.
Where do I see the balls that are drawn to determine this? Or how do they do it now?
Traded Kane away getting the first overall….. yeah right
THE MOST RIGGED draft LOTTERY in Sports, the NHL.
One of the greatest sweaters in sports. How bout dem BLACKHAWKS! Here come the Hawks-The Mighty Blackhawks!!!
Rigged
I knew Montreal wouldn't get No. 1 Pick 2nd year in a row
I think Bedard will refuse to play for Hawks and will be traded to Van
As a Habs fan, I am very hyped for the Slapshot specialist Will Smith to join them!
Bedard should pull a 1983 John Elway and say I cant play for a franchise, and wont sign, that was willfully blind to sex abuse.
DECLARATION!!!TEAM BUILDING OLYMPICS..
UNTILL PEACE RETURNS
OR WAR NOCKS UPON OUR DOORS.
