I agree and have been saying it for a while now… if there is a lockout, the Wild could benefit from it the most. All of their young talent gets to play in Houston and they would have a great chance in landing a top pick.

Adding someone like Mackinnon / Jones / Barkov / Monahan / Shinkaruk / Lindholm … could just put them over the top….

and more than likely Columbus would get screwed over seeing as they should be a almost certain top 2 pick if there is a season.

The Wild with 3 balls entered is a scary thought

If there was a lottery like the one in Crosby’s draft year, following the same rules as back then it would look like this …

And by lottery, I mean a full 30 team lottery like in 2005, not the 14 team lottery they have every year.

Anyone want to bet that, if there is a lottery, the Coyotes end up with MacKinnon?
