I'm generally not one of those conspiracy theory type of guys. But the last time a generational talent was drafted (Crosby), the NHL used a pure lottery to determine draft order because of the lock out.
A lot of people speculated that it was rigged to help save the Penguins. I think that seems ridiculous. But if the NHL brings in this roulette wheel just in time for the next generational talent (McDavid) even I might be thinking that something fishy is going on.
