Sabres GM Tim Murray says GMs have agreed to change draft lottery but not as early next year. So he's obviously pleased with that.

What?

I'm busy watching my team play for the Cup, Not the draft lottery...




But if you would like I can give an opinion.....

The NHL will not allow McDavid to go to a small market team like the Sabres.

You will NOT be picking 1st next year no matter how crappy this season goes.

The NHL decides who picks 1st, This years lotto went something like this.

Mr Viola thank you for buying the Florida Panthers, Here is the 1st over pick for your efforts.

Yeah, its not a conspiracy.

He's going to a larger media market to help sell the game.

He can't sell the game playing for Buffalo.

Half the country never heard of the Buffalo Bills, You think they know who the hockey team is?

No points for finishing last either that's why the Sabres are picking 2nd.

Re: Lottery changes coming...NOT NEXT YEAR

i guess ill worry about it next year. i dont think anyone expects to win the lottery, as the best chance a team gets is 25%

but the rest of the conspiracy is rubbish.

We all know how this goes: Sabres suck again in 14-15 but don't get the #1 overall pick with McDavid.

The NHL changes the lottery rules for 15-16, but the changes would have worked in our favor and made it MORE likely that we would have gotten the #1 in 14-15.

That's how it works for Buffalo sports.

Yeah, its not a conspiracy.

It kinda is. After the Crosby/Malkin thing right when the Penguins were about to fold, I have a real hard time believing that it's truly random.

McDavid and Eichel are both going to be Buffalo Sabres.

Plus we will get Ekblad this year to round out the leagues most dominant and deep D units.

and floflo will eat our shorts.
