I told you guys last year that the Flyers would draft Sotheran. I also said he would be a guy who would play for this team regardless of his draft position. Watch and learn Mjl etc.

The best thing the Flyers could do is follow Dallas. Draft and hope for some higher than expected impact from players in early rounds.

Buying and trading for solutions always end up terrible.

Yes because the league agenda is to give the Sharks of all franchises the 1st overall pick

Couldn't give Utah the first pick, too convenient. So they got the second

The funny thing is that if the Sharks DO win, because they have the highest odds, there are certain people who will scream conspiracy.

Oh my god, it happened just like it was supposed to.

As an aside, if the NHL wanted to "fix" the draft, they wouldn't want another superstar playing in a place where no one watches. The majority of us never get to see McDavid and Draisaitl as it is because most of us are in bed by the time they start.

That franchise has touched so many young boys lives they deserve it.

I really hope so. They were certainly held to account for abusing players. Really well handled by the nhl tbh.

Ugh. I hope not.

Habs can’t win either. Most annoying fans in the league.

They should allocate a pick to the coyotes for when bettman tries to force it to work again

Is this gonna be another lotto show where they talk about the playoffs for an hour before they do the lotto 🤮

Draft order leaked,

Sharks 1
Utah 2

Flyers 12

I saw earlier but refrained from saying anything. Bucigross took off of Twitter immediately.

It would be so on par for the NHL to leak the results of the lottery. The sport is awesome, the NHL management just sucks.

Hockey names are like no other. Even last names I've never heard. Never had any Buekeboom's in my neighborhood.

Can the Flames really pass on Iginla @ 9?

If I were picking 5 thru 8 I’d tell them we’re taking him unless they make a trade lol

Their fans will riot if he’s there and they pass on him.

The leak was BS. Or they re-rigged it after

It would be pretty funny if the NHL screwed over Utah because of the leak-we'll never know
