....nice lottery rules. Not a single team in the top 5 gets a top 3 pick.
Canucks of course continue under the Campbell #11 curse.

Fook it.

The only way it could have been better (worse) is if Buffalo had won
the first overall pick.

The whole thing is ludicrous the way they stage manage it
with the team reps sitting on nicely aligned chairs for
the camera, saying nothing, doing nothing (except looking
very uncomfortable). What's the point? Let 'em stay home
or off camera.

What might be interesting is actually SHOWING how the selections
are made in the back room. Transparency. Having Bill Daly
out there making like a bald Vanna White is just plain silly.
Although dressing him up in an evening gown might bring a few
chuckles.

Do the selections, post 'em on a website somewhere, and
give 'em to the reporters to report. Period. Trying to make
something dramatic out of it *without* showing it actually
being done/calculated is a waste of time and flipping fancy
cards.

I like Bill Daly and would rather have HIM as commish instead
of the Count, but parading him and the team reps out on
stage for this is a waste of time and effort.

Nyssa, who just wants the facts not the meaningless production
frills

That's funny. :-)

Exactly. Have the spinning transparent container with the ping pong balls
and pop em out like bingo live and visible. Of course by having it done
behind closed doors makes it easier to conceal the fix--see Patrick Ewing
and the Nicks under Bettmans mentor Stern.

Oops, you added an unnecessary vowel in that word.
