BOOOOOOOOOO!

Haha, I was really hoping that I had picked the winner so I could gloat, now I will sit in the corner and feel shame. However on the flip side if you were your regular speedy self and got in first flames would have won as well.

I've always hated the concept of the draft lottery, where one team moves and Everything else just falls into place. I fell like filling the whole draft order with the draws is fairer.

One suggestion, if they are going to do this live, they should do it Deal or No Deal style. And have 42 suit cases with the teams pictures in it. Then have each of the 14 GMs select 3 suit cases, and take turns opening whichever of their 3 suit cases they want.

Then have some kind of slot machine aspect where getting 3 all the same automatically jumps you to 1st overall.

The looks on their faces would be priceless.

Great fun, thanks for hosting.

I had a great time catching up and would consider getting up to watch live even at 5 am. It will be interesting to watch this whole Edmonton thing play out, last live update I saw on CNN had these pictures:

cool stuff. Would prefer this to the current system, there'd probably be less tanking if every pick would be up to the lottery, not only the first overall. Thanks for doing this, GS.

kinda torn because of the result. Sucks that my #13 belonged to the Coilers, but on the flip side, I'm also glad that it contributed to them getting a lower pick than the Flames

Seems rigged.

[Trailer Fire]

That was cool. I felt a stab of shame when #02 was picked so early. I would totally watch that format on TV.

Sound like something the commissioner who rigged the lottery would say.
