On the Draft Lottery …
Bob McKenzie: “Just saw the NHL’s format/timing for Saturday’s draft lottery. Picks 15 thru 4 between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. ET, picks 3 thru 1 in the second intermission of an 8 p.m. ET game. Huh. I suppose we should be happy they aren’t doing one pick a day for two weeks.”
On the Carolina Hurricanes …
Blake Price: Laurence Gilman said he didn’t see eye to eye and is no longer an active candidate for the Hurricanes vacant GM position.
