Now other teams' fans will try and pin this on us as saying Matthews is as good as Gretzky.

But you'd just be horny again an hour later.

And 2nd place in the "Post of Thread Category" goes to smellmyfinger!

Seriously lads, this is mental.

Matthews
Nylander
Marner
Rielly
Zaitsev
Brown
Soshnikov
Hyman
Carrick
Timashov
Nielson
Dermott
Bracco
Lipstick
Johnson
Another 1st round pick
Pick 31
Gauthier/Lindberg/Loov/Valiev/Kapanen

All within about 2 years. Now all of them will not be superstars or even pan out but holy poop. That takes quite a bit of work.

Sit back for a minute. Remember the organization we have had this last decade and re-read some of those names.

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but doesn't anybody find it interesting that Toronto won the lottery. Buffalo didn't win the lottery for two straight years. They only won the lottery twice in 46 years. Toronto gets it on the first chance. Brendan Shanahan is the president of the leafs and he also worked under Bettman as NHL's Vice President of hockey and business development, then NHL's senior Vice President. Coincidence?

Every single one of those kids has a very high chance of become something special thanks to the way they manage them. We might as well ice the Marlies next season

I love reading the Nucks thread when we won the lottery

"this thing is rigged"
"they dont deserve it because they tanked"
" "

Hope we draft a G with our 2nd 1st rd pick or at least package the pick for a goalie .

drafting wise, not much out there, but Carter "The Hitman" Hart seems good.

Dude, the 2nd cousin of bettmans wife once wore a leafs jersey at a Halloween party 37 years ago. Add to that fact bill dalys great great uncle Silas had a brawl in a saloon with a distant ancestor of the pegula family in 1894 over a stolen pig. Reparations for the lost pig were never made...

Coincidence ??! I think not.

Where did this moronic post come from. I feel like we didn't win the lottery a good 20 times before we finally one. First chance? what is he talking about?

Yeah. Zeitsev should slot in nicely on the 2RD eventually, but we really need that 1RD and goalie.

We don't need to draft a goalie in the 1st. There is no rush to get a franchise goalie. Build the team and find a stable goalie,a nd when time comes find a goalie if need be.

It's cray cray. Gotta imagine Babcock is looking forward to coaching these guys. Work to be done, but damn, what a start

Yeah, no rush.

It would be (frank)ing awsome to get Anderson and Vatenen/Lindholm. But what do we send them? I'm not willing to part with any of our strong prospects.

start with powder puff JVR

poop. I didn't do that did I?

over the years has taken us down a narrow winding road of possibilities since the sundin departure. But gents we finally now have our franchise #1 center. . And of course the rest of the cupboards are stocked quite nicely to date . Cheers to moving forward.

- pinksocked

I think we should keep JVR. He's a good top 6 forward on a good contract. Package bozak and whatever else it takes to get Anderson.

It's just butthurt drivel. Ridiculous.

Because if the lottery was rigged, the NHL darling Oilers would have won 4 out of 6 times, right?

If the lottery was rigged the Cyotes would be winning those lottery. It was the last thing that could save their franchise.
