The odds of having a ping-pong ball fall in our favor doesn’t excite me, but with a little lady-luck on our side, it is possible the Detroit Red Wings could end up in a position to land Jack Hughes. I mean, the Ottawa Senators would forfeit the right to choose him as their first round pick goes to the Colorado Avalanche.
They had a choice to either give last years pick to Colorado or push it back to this year in their agreement at the time sent Matt Duchene to Ottawa. They decided to select Brady Tkachuk, thinking they wouldn’t be as terrible as they are and in a spot to pick first overall.
