Thanks for another great write-up Theo!

KD is a man with a plan, let’s hope he sticks to it rather than pulling a Stan and tries to rush the rebuild.

How are people feeling about the draft lottery today? Any predictions? I’ll got with: #1 Detroit and #2 Chicago.

Considering the Caps are going to move on to the next round, there's no way the Blackhawks will win the lottery tonight.

Well, how can this be? I thought he was no good!

Seth Jones was named captain of Team USA, while Nate Schmidt and Austin Watson were tabbed alternate captains.

well, don't forget Murphy was a Team USA captain too.

Have you seen the Team USA roster? Seth being named captain speaks much more to the poor state of USA hockey than to anything Seth Jones is doing.

In summary, he IS no good.

Posting this for no other reason than I like Dobber's love of Hagel and his comparison to Palat. If it's me I make that trade every day of the week.

Real impressed with Brandon Hagel on the third line for the Lightning. He's third on the team in playoff scoring with three points. That's with zero PP time and 13 minutes of ice time. I've said it here before a couple of times – he's their next Ondrej Palat, minus the injuries. Palat likely leaves for free agency in the summer.

I would call it the Gustafsson

Not the Rundblad?

Montreal,and Detroit will win the lottery

Does anybody knows where I can find a list of ufa goalies?

When they flip the lottery cards tonight, if it’s NOT # 1 or 2, will the card be the Columbus logo?

If it is # 1 or 2 I’m assuming it will be the Hawks logo.

Fingers crossed it goes to Columbus so we can officially move on from the abysmal Bowman tenure, draft slotting wise.

Exhale.

Like that time they unexpectedly jumped up to #3? That abysmal draft slotting?

Try inhaling sometime. You might like how it makes you feel.

You can sort by UFA vs RFA, by position, by team, by year, etc.

Former Blackhawks prospect Matt Tomkins is one of the goalies again for Team Canada for the IIHF World Championship. He represented Team Canada at the Winter Olympics, too.

Thanks for the information.

So does this determine who KD hires as head coach?

It's going to be tough cheering for them to lose but I don't think we'll have to cheer for that as it will just happen.

If Kane and the Cat are traded, I easily see a bottom 3 finish next year. If not, a bottom 7-10 finish.

As much as an impact a good coach can have. This roster is a lotto pick team. Specially with our goaltending

I enjoy the banter tnt has with Biz and Tocchet going back and forth about to shoot or not to shoot for the empty net goal. Good stuff

Tochett calling him an idiot and Biz saying you were so close to interviewing with the Islanders

Bullet dodged….

When’s the 2023 draft lottery?

Can’t wait!

Exhale.

That's a good point, probably resign Lanky just for that
