Amazing fans and just no real success to speak of. Let them win this. They've also never really tanked.
Agreed. Most deserving team. They've pushed for playoffs and made the most of a middleing roster talent-wise for a number of years. They're not a team that you ever see throw in the towel by January.

I'd be happy for them + their fans.

So does Gary just throw the lottery ball at the tv camera today if he picks the Oilers?

I'll be honest. At this point, even if Leafs, Pens, or Rangers win, I'll just be thankful it wasn't Edmonton.

ya, I agree, the Oilers can't be gifted this prize. IF they do happen to win it, they need to trade that pick for a #1 dman.

I turned on SN hoping to see the result. I watched a full segment of analysis like a sucker. They aren't going to milk this for half an hour are they?

Personally don't want the Leafs, Oilers, or Pens to win it. Those teams have enough firepower. Let one of the true struggling teams get him.

Apparently you're not the only one. Shows how pathetic the Oilers are that even Elliotte Friedman said that if they win, everyone will be pissed.

They will even have to make a new rule, no doubt.

Edmonton rule v3

Gary Bettman looks really rough. Hope he's alright.

Yep.

Talking about how if certain teams win today there will be outrage from around the league and the overall fan base, with Edmonton, Pittsburgh and Toronto's logos on the screen.

Every team in this lottery today was pacing for 90+ points. It's horse #### that one of them will get Lafreniere.

It's triple horse #### if Edmonton, Toronto or Pittsburgh get it.
