It's rigged

Just can't believe this is going to be Edmonton's 4th(?) number one pick in the last 10 years. A shame that the new rule of not being able to pick number one more than once in five calendar years wasn't implemented sooner

I hope the generational talent pulls a generational move and demands a trade if they draft him.

Shall we start the Tanev Lack and first overall to EDM rumours now or wait?

Yea I like the idea of being ineligible for the lottery for ten years following a win

I'll be a man and admit it, I'm very jealous.

That's a start....have to add more obviously

You all should be happy tho ...tanking did not work ...buff lost and Edmonton was just terrible

One of their core forwards just become touchable to help address that.

Yup.

More like Horvat + Virtanen + Lack + Tanev + 1st

My thoughts exactly. The systems needs to change tonight

I wonder if Pitt throw out Malkin and a Dman for the first overall

R.I.P

Arizona Coyotes

The drop off from 2nd to 3rd in talent is massive

If this pick turns things around for EDM I will be livid, and if they ruin McDavid I will be livid. Basically I'm livid

They won't trade it. Bet your house on it.

You're forgetting a few firsts

Biggest losers in all of this...even though Hanifin/Strome/Marner are great prospects but not locks to change a franchise like the top 2.

Next to Toronto, worst possible scenario.

It's kinda depressing that the Canucks literally have no realistic offer that would even get considered

Malkin is more valuable than the 1st OA IMO. I don't care how good he is projected to be Malkin is a superstar.

fifteen first rounders and Mark Donnelly

- Marwood

I was hoping he'd go to CBJ or NJ

If we take out Donnelly it only has to be 12 1sts

I hear you, as I'm sure most of the hockey world. This is ridiculous - how many franchise type of players can one team get (and still not be competitive)

2-0 Comets

I wouldn't be surprised if Arizona put together a MASSIVE package

OEK, Domi, Duclair, etc etc etc

They won't trade it. Bet your house on it.

You're forgetting it's Edm in 7 years he'll be somewhere else.
