To me, Edmonton winning the McDavid lottery proved to me that the lottery ISN'T rigged. They had already had 1st overalls in three consecutive years prior to that and the league even changed the odds to stop that from happening ... gifting a generational talent to that franchise probably was the last thing the NHL wanted. If it was, in fact, rigged, they'd have given Arizona a 1st overall or two already. I mean, they've gone to extreme lengths to save that market for some reason, why not use the lottery if you can?
All of that being said, Sandman clearly made a joke there and that's where it should have ended.
