Had to give this one a 1 - and I had to round up to do it. First draw that broke my (total arbitrary) rules and resulted in a negative number.
Negatives:
-5 for Vancouver winning the lottery
-2 For Toronto being in the top 3
-2 for Montreal being in the top 3
-5 for Calgary not being in the top 3
Total Negatives: -14
Subtotal -4
Positives
+ 3 for Edmonton being out of the top 3
Total positives: 3
Total Value: -1
3 Canadian teams in the top 3 spots, and with Vancouver winning the lottery at 1. That's ugly. 6 months straight of Mathews interviews, what he ate, how he feels about humans interbreeding with martians, and how he thinks McDavid would feel about it. Then Toronto talking about Laine and how he might be better than both McDavid and Mathews because he prefers blueberry scones over chocolate chip scones. Then every single day we would be hearing one more tidbit out of Montreal on how Puljujarvi is embracing the French language, and how he won't eat a scone since only English speakers like it.
Every single day.
Yep, I think my -1 is about right for my own personal dislike of those teams, and the nauseating media frenzy it would create on a daily basis.
The only positive in this scenario was that Edmonton got pushed out of the top 3.
