I see no negative that would keep them from showing it. I just don't trust them.

Because it makes it way too difficult to fix if people are watching it.

Colorado wins and selects Jones leaving MacKinnon to Florida and Tampa takes Drouin

Still weighted too high for the lower teams, and I'm not saying that cause we didn't win. Why even have it at 14 teams if the top 4 are pretty much guaranteed to win? As was mentioned, we still saw a lot of diving for low spots this year again.

do you think if someone gets 1 who wouldn't take Jones the Oilers consider a big offer?

i.e one of the core forwards?

There's still every reason to dive if you can only get bumped by one spot.

If your team is tanking, the threat of getting bumped from 2nd to 3rd is not that big of a deal.

I hate this.

I know they aren't winning, yet here I sit, watching TSN's lottery extravaganza.

Why do we do this to ourselves?
