Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

Is the Draft Lottery the same as last year, to be held tomorrow based on NHL results?

If so...

25.0% Ottawa Senators (NHL-CBJ)
18.8% Minnesota Wild (NHL-EDM)
14.2% Colorado Avalanche (NHL-MTL)
10.7% Dallas Stars (NHL-NYI)
08.1% Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL-TOR)
-----------------------------------------------
06.2% Detroit Red Wings
04.7% New York Islanders
03.6% New Jersey Devils
02.7% Florida Panthers
02.1% Edmonton Oilers
01.5% Anaheim Ducks
01.1% Tampa Bay Lightning
00.8% Vancouver Canucks
00.5% Buffalo Sabres

Yes. We will follow the NHL's lottery results.

Sounds like I'll have to cheer for Toronto to get Yakupov in both leagues. Oh well, he can't possibly have as horrible a rookie season as EHEC Taylor Hall or as mushy a brian as NHL Taylor Hall, right?

Congratulations, Chris Breidenstein. The Minnesota Wild will have the first overall pick in the 2012 EHEC Entry Draft.

Our top five draft order:
1. Minnesota Wild
2. Ottawa Senators
3. Colorado Avalanche
4. Dallas Stars
5. Toronto Maple Leafs

Funny that EHEC Wild could have Yakupov & RNH together, just like the NHL Oilers. The NHL Oilers are still a more pathetic organization than any previously-orphaned EHEC team.

Grigorenko is looking pretty sweet in our file though, probably better than Yakupov especially if you need a center.

Hey thats MY Oilers you are talking smack about. We're gonna be much better moving ahead then we have been in the past. We've never had a top 4 pick till Hall then we get 3 in a row - Which NHL org would you rather be - Flames or Oilers
