Does buffalo's GM drive an ice cream van as well?
And they will still suck next year
Why is this so sterile. Make snoop dogg host this.
Who gets it next year? That's when Bedard goes isn't it?
Just imagine if Marc Bergevin did not add top 10 protection on the trade for Christian Dvorak haha Arizona would have first and third overall!
TRASH draft to be at the top of this year. Next year though….
Congrats Montreal
Congrats Montreal , R.I.P GUY LAFLEUR
We won something!
Hard to get a smile out of the by'es. No.1 picks are often surpassed by picks outside the top 10. A few top picks busts as well.
Rigged Montreal went to the finals a year ago now get first picked so Rigged lottery Drafted I hated the lottery Draft poor vancouver Give vancouver a chance Buffalo has 2 us none
Jt Miller Trade for number 2 picked I will be surprised if Devils trade there picked away to Vancouver
Habs sucks
I want to see Zegras zorro behind the net and then no look lacrosse pass off the glass alley oop to give the 10th pick his first NHL goal on his first shot… let's go!
Lets Go 😎 Go Habs Go ! Shane Wright com in the Habs 😁
Who cares, they'll just take whatever french Canadian guy they can and go nowhere with him.
Rigged
The Price is Wright
Lou is just like 😐
Rigged
Nice. Hope they get a good player
And another rookie players career is ended before it starts
Rigged?
Didn't need to watch the lottery draft when every year the prediction lottery draft spoils it.
GO HABS GO ! 🇨🇦 🇲🇶🍁
It’s too bad it’s not the Bedard draft… hopefully Wright will be what the Habs need.
rigged
Go Habs go 2023
Love the eye roll from the Canucks rep.
The noises the foam squares make as he slides them about and touches them against each other makes me uncomfortable.
Devils 3 top 2 picks in the passed 6 years. This team is close to being a wild card playoff team. Desperately need goaltending.
How tf do they devils get ANOTHER pick
As a leafs fan this is exciting the battle will be back on in a few years
Every single one of these guys seem like they hate life so much not even a crack of a smile
Okay should the Habs trade the #1 selection to the NY Rangers for Alexi? The Habs might need to throw in another player (although probably not Cole). But I’m sure the Habs want a top notch player from the Quebec League.
I wonder which player they're going to trade away in 5 seasons…
Let's go Canadiens
Surprised they didn't change the rules and just give the oilers another first round pick. Lol
Sorry… no one wants to play for Ottawa or New Jersey Devils.
Poor Shane…
Finals the first overall definitely a lucky run last year
Congratulations to you Montreal
So they stopped doing the actually lottery ball thing after they made it obvious they gave it to New York. Nice.
Montreal winning this draft is proof this lottery is rigged
