Draft Lottery: Who do we cheer for?

Detroit made the playoffs for 25 straight years... #### the Red Wings. Ditto the Rangers, they're in the most lucrative market in sports. I'd be fine with Montreal, NJ, and Florida.

But let's be honest... this season everything that could go wrong for the Ottawa Senators has gone wrong and I think having the pick they traded away end up as the #1 overall will probably be the moldy cherry on top of their #### sundae of a year. I'd rather it go to the east but it'll probably be Colorado.

Rangers tamper and pretty much get their pick of prime NCAA Free Agents. Rather see the Devils win the lottery. I could live with a team like Columbus winning it and being able to keep their pick. Other than that screw everyone else.

Anyone outside of the Pacific. Ideally, we avoid the Canucks getting the opportunity to continue their re-build with a top 3 pick, or for LA and Anaheim to get a shot in the arm with a top draft selection to extend their competitive window.

I'd be okay with Buffalo or Florida getting that last little push with a good pick this year to finally not be trash, or Philly getting a top choice as a thank you for giving Gritty to the hockey world (I'd even let him make the pick).

I'm also rooting for the Devils to win the lottery as well.
