This needs to be said. The lottery draft is absurdly fixed.

Every so often the NHL needs to correct things for a franchise or do what it takes to ensure a certain franchise doesn't go bankrupt.

They gave the penguins Crosby.

They gave the leafs Matthews.

They turn around and give NJ the #1 overall pick. All because a 1st round pick was taken as a penalty due to Kovalchuk. Now that Kovalchuk is coming back they feel the need to correct the wrongdoing by giving a very unlikely team that #1 overall pick.

Side Note.

Karma is a real bitch for the Avalanche. That organization needs to learn. when you intentionally throw games and end up drafting the 4th best player 1st overall you should learn that being so dishonorable isn't doing positive things for you.

Barkov. Monahan. Jones.

THREE players that will forever haunt you for drafting Mackinnon.

Now you get to draft #4 overall. I feel sorry for the #5/#6 D man they are going to draft. He doesn't deserve being forced to play for the pile of steaming crap that are the Colorado Avalanche.
