(There are extra draws - more than is likely to be necessary - in case the 2nd/3rd draws pick the same teams as the 1st and/or 2nd draws.)

30 minutes till the draft!

[BLUESGM]

within the links it says it will draw in 28 minutes - but says the draw is scheduled for the 28th. Which is right?

[DevilsGM]

MRW the Blues wins the all 3 picks.

By my reckoning its

1. St. Louis
2. Arizona
3. Minnesota
...
4. New Jersey
5. Colorado
6. San Jose
...etc.

[BLUESGM]

I have no idea how to read this lol.

[Edmonton Mike]

I have no idea how to read this lol.

You got the 1st overall pick.

[DevilsGM]

I have no idea how to read this lol.

You got the 1st overall pick.

And if he didn't win the 1st, he'd have won the 2nd or 3rd, the 5th, and 7th draw or something. Really you won quite an extraordinary number of the lotteries.

[SharksGM]

It figures that Arizona would get #2. Sigh. At least I didn't drop down a spot.

Anyway yeah, it's STL-ARZ-MIN.

[BLUESGM]

Good stuff! Fallin' for Dahlin complete.

[The-Boss-GM]

Rasmus Dahlin's agent has made it know that he does not plan to play for a hot weather franchise.
Being used to the chillier temperatures of Sweden Rasmus has been quoted as calling St. Louis "mostly hellish" and Arizona as "a complete hellhole".
To make it easier on all parties and to save Franchises the embarrassment of a "Blake Wheeler type of holdout" Dahlin's agent is requesting that he is allowed to fall to the 3rd pick where he would be more than happy to live in the Northern climes of Minnesota.

[SharksGM]

I think the only fair solution is to divide Dahlin into 30 pieces so everyone gets a share.

Boston is closer to home.

[The-Boss-GM]

“Obviously, it’s tough to say that we’re excited to have him because we haven’t drafted him yet, but if we were to get a player named Rasmus Dahlin, I think it would be great for our team, our city,” Eichel said


Just saying...

[DevilsGM]

Your keyboard is having an epileptic seizure mate.

...Piece of Dahlin
