Buds Board Keepers League

Oh. Nvm. It's koomz.

The bitching on Twitter about the format is sad...is this how losing fans always react? Yeah, sucks the Wings pick 4th but it's a lottery system. Why even do a lottery if the best odds has to win.

nm koommz not dave lol

Weird they said 12 to 1 given the team in position 12 doesn't get to make that jump in the NHL, as it's a group win for the bottom teams until phase 2.

Yeah, that's why that went over my head when it was first mentioned. But at least we know.

Good that we all understand what's happening

Our lottery would have been so much more confusing

you guys have GOOD options outside of laf/byfield/stutzle

Lundell to Detroit confirmed

Leafs gonna get bounced by CBJ and draft Laffy.

Hope you're all ready for Lafreniere in Pittsburgh next year

My hunch is Drysdale.

Flat 12.5% odds for the field...that lottery reveal will be bonkers.

I think most fanbases think the league has it out for them. I call them idiots. I am a Wings fan but I'm not a zealot. Things happen...deal with it and move on. I don't think Stevie-Y cares.

The Wings are more than a player away. You don't have a season like that and think an 18 year old makes it all better.

TANK IS ON FOR THE LEAFS

Cuz the fanbases aren't paid millions of dollars to watch their teams lose and then get fucked because of a stupid lottery. GMs don't care cuz they get paid either way.

You don't think the Jackets need that pick?

What a test of pride for teams in the play-in round. You get bounced and have a 1 in 8 shot.

Here's the real irony: the NHL primarily did the draft lottery tonight so that the non play-in teams could have something to talk about, generate some buzz in those markets. The only buzz generated tonight was in the play-in markets, and it's the wrong kind of buzz.

My money is on the draft lotto being re-jigged for next year.

If we have a normal-ish season, they won't carry this format over. Sounds like a lot of this is a one-off.
