The new three tiers really sets up for some pretty epic television.

Duthie at the podium ... selecting 14th is Detroit (and with that it's one less team that can move past Calgary ... selecting 13th is Colorado (another bullet dodged) ... selecting 12th is Carolina (3 down) ... selecting 11th is New Jersey (4 down)

then it happens ...

selecting 10th is Arizona (what? wait? where is Ottawa? Then you realize they have one of the top three and the Flames have only 2 left to win. But the Oilers and Canucks are less likely too, the torn feelings!)

9th is Montreal (good Calgary isn't heading down 3 spots!)

8th is Buffalo (ditto!)

7th is Winnipeg (that's it, Calgary won one of the lotteries OMFG!)

Too much fun.
