Could Lafreniere be going to either Montreal or Pittsburgh?
It is freaking ridiculous...
It looks like favoritism from my point of view; or some kind of punishment for the team that did the proverbial "tanking" in order to land the better odds for Lafreniere.

It is so ridiculous, even though my team could actually benefit from this. I don't get why the last place team doesn't get the 1st pick. I get they are worried about tanking but in reality it is almost always just incompetence that gets teams to the bottom. In the NHL where the 1st pick is almost always more valuable than even the 3rd or 4th picks making a team like Detroit drop to 4 and likely keeping them in the bottom longer does not serve the league at all.
The idea that Pittsburgh who had 86 points could win the 1st pick is ridiculous.
I know it is easy to say now but honestly if Edmonton wins the 1st pick after all the garbage 1sts they have had and the McDavid lottery win they should have never won I am not sure I will stay a fan of the league. Again I know it is easy to talk big now but it is hard to want to follow a league that makes so many ridiculous mickey mouse decisions like this, especially one that could so badly affect the competition of the league. Giving a play-off team that was 2nd in its division its 5th 1st overall pick in 10 years is ridiculous in my mind.
But don't worry I would still stick with the JGHL, although maybe would become and even bigger sucker when it comes to trading so you guys may noe be cheering for the Oilers to win!

Red Wings fan here - I am livid.
Itβs not like we tanked on purpose. Look at the roster. The NHL needs to seriously revisit this system. The Wings should at the very least have a higher chance of top 3 pick.
