- Draft lotteries are unfair in the NHL & NBA and here's why. I cannot trust the integrity of either league to maintain that sort of thing. Just give the best teams the first pick and move on

You think it is rigged. Every team have specialized lawyer at the draw, no way a owner would let the league steal Bedard.
The NBA would be absolutely horrible without a lottery. The #1 and 2 picks in the NBA are SOOOOOOOOOO much more valuable than 8-10, your team has almost zero chance to win a championship without getting a superstar or 2, and most superstars are top 3 picks. Tanking would be 1000x worse in the NBA if the lottery wasn't a thing.
There's more parity in the NHL and it might be OK without a lottery but you still don't want a team picking #1 3-4 years in a row.
The lottery in the NHL and NBA discourages tanking but teams still tank. If there wasn't a lottery and its just the team with the worst record or lowest winning percentage gets the #1 pick, there would probably be 7-10 teams per year actively trying to lose games.
I agree. The point of the draft is to help bad teams get better. A team that finishes 11th should have no shot at the number 1 pick. If the NHL wants to keep the the lottery to prevent tanking, they should go back to where 1 team moves up three spots and everyone else moves back one. It isn't hard. The NHL keeps it the way it is now because it is "exciting". The purpose of the draft is to help bad teams, not add excitement.
Nice pov!!! I like it bc it gave the Knicks P. Ewing lmaooo 🏀💀

i mean for at least the nhl it is done buy a private company and is composed of like 4 drawings that decided who gets first and is not rigged like if it rigged Arizona would have gotten a 1st pick and they never did Chicago jump up two spots and rangers just got lucky to say the nhl wouldn't want the ducks to get the 1st pick is just not true and if you dont have a draft lottery then teams will make there teams not nhl level to get prospects like McDavid Matthews berdard like the bad teams have much higher odds then anyone out of the bottom 5
Hot take: the lottery should be completely random but still exist.
Chaos giving a winning team another dominating superstar is preferrable to teams tanking for top talent.
Then how would bad teams realistically be able to improve? FAs would never want to come to a team that finished 15-67 drafting 5th overall
The NHL didn't throw Chicago a bone. They were terrible in 2022-23 and were actively tanking (tear down/rebuild). They had the 3rd best odds at the #1 pick and got the #1 pick. No bone throw. No rigging. Just good old fashioned tanking and luck.
Chicago should’ve never had that pick in the first place. They should’ve had it (along with probably others) stripped for blatantly covering up a SA scandal. Bedard becoming a Blackhawk just proves that Karma isn’t real
@@Kodiakkcry more Jesus
@@Kodiakk Look at Ottawa when they got their first round pick taken from them. They get to pick which year they lose it over the next 3 years. Same thing would have happened to Chicago and they still would have got Bedard. Cry some more about it.
hawks were the 3rd worse team in the nhl that year they weren't thrown a bone it wasn't like they were the middle of the road team honestly if your going to make an example of the lottery being bs use the 2007 nhl draft lottery as a better example where the hawks a young team having almost all the pieces for a future cup run a team might I add who already gotten lucky with Jonathan Toews in the draft gets gifted the number 1 PATRICK KANE with only the 6th best odds at 7.5% where as in the Bedard lottery they had 11.5%. Now note I do agree with majority of the things you said in this video I just wanted to point that out real quick
As a guy who primarily watches football and basketball I personally don’t think the lottery is a bad idea. Experiencing the NBA for 10 plus years I’ve never seen a team outside of a bottom five record get close to the top two picks. After the top two picks the chance of that player being franchise changing crashes drastically. Also there are many famous examples of tanking in the nfl. I remember week 17 in 2015 it was my saints vs the bucs and they sat all there starters out 90% of the game to get the number one overall pick. The same thing happened week 17 next year with browns vs steelers. And i know for certain the texans tanked for jedaveon Clowney because that team wasnt bad enough to get the number one overall pick. But those are just my thoughts have a good day
Appreciate you & appreciate your comment 😎👊 it’s not necessarily a bad idea in practice but I think the execution of it completely fails in how it screws over the teams who genuinely are bad and could utilize talent. The problem with the NBA is there’s only 5 guys on the court at any given time and 12-16 guys on a roster so the draft and luck weighs so heavily into construction, whereas in the NFL there’s 53 guys on a team and premier prospects at pretty much every position and the #1 overall player on most team’s big boards may not be the same throughout the league. The idea of a Caleb Williams or MHJ esque prospect going to a team that just barely missed the playoffs is absolute appalling to me and why I never think the NFL should implement a draft lottery.
With all due respect, this video was a bit of a nothingburger with no real evidence to support your claim and just repeating the same talking points of "it doesn't discourage tanking" and "there's no reason for the lottery to exist".
The NHL literally shows videos of them doing the draw, and before they even start the draw they showcase the time of day when the draw is being done (The commissioner holds up his phone to showcase the time) and they also prove what day of the week it is (showcasing the front page of 2 different newspapers.).
It happens in a 12x24 room an hour prior to the TV broadcast, and no one (except the commissioner and the NHL's CCO) is allowed to leave the room until after the broadcast is over.
There are 20 people in the room where they do the lottery pull, no phones are allowed in the room outside of Bettman's (for the purpose listed above), and they invite 3 journalists from vastly different markets to attend the pull process, each media member getting a printed out packet that showcases the exact sequences that can potentially be drawn and who possesses what sequences; said packet has 1,001 potential sequences.
Rangers never won twice in a row to draft first overall, they won the lottery in 2020 to draft 1OA and won the second drawing in 2019 that got them the 2OA pick.
Chicago moved from 3OA to 1OA to draft Bedard
The only time the lottery was really "suspicious" was between 2011-2015 when Edmonton won it 3 times; even then, they were still a pretty bad team and nowhere near the playoffs; sense then, they changed the rules to you can only win the lottery twice every 5 years.
Even a team that "barely misses the playoffs" like you said, they can only move up at maximum 10 spots; so a team that finishes 16th (literally the closest you can get to missing the playoffs) hypothetically wins the lottery (a 0.5% chance for that team), they only can draft 6OA at best... and such an occurrence automatically guarantees the worst statistical team in the league will draft 1OA. Additionally, the statistical worst team in the league can draft no lower than 3OA.
Then on top of that, you have to still draft the right player (we've seen plenty of duds or disappointments).
If the lottery was rigged, Arizona would have won lotteries because that was the most struggling market in the league that Bettman refused to give up on for decades... now the team had to move because they finally realized it was a lost cause. If the lottery was rigged, they would pull strings to give expansion teams that pay up to a billion dollars to join the league special treatment in the lottery.
Yes, the lottery sometimes gives us less than favorable results (no one wanted Bedard to go to Chicago merely because of the recent org wide sexual assault case)... but that doesn't mean its rigged; suggesting so is just insane amounts of copium.
McDavid would NOT be in Edmonton if it was rigged 😭
Clearly a Ducks fan. Before the lottery teams would go for last to win the lottery. This gives other teams a chance to win it or at least move up in draft pick.
