But you got to separate the thoughts of the lottery...

and the direction of the franchise.

And I was going back and forth with Texter Dane.

It's just like the lottery is just an opportunity.

As we've done for weeks here and simulating it, and it's worked out okay for Vancouver in our simulations, but you're still only promised a 25.5% chance.

That's all you're promised.

There's no certainty.

And you're still just rolling the dice of, I wonder what's going to happen here.

The certainty of having the prospect wherever you are and the direction of your franchise, that's what you're in control of.

And a top three pick is something that's positive.

This recent run here of teams, they're not all just built on singular first overall guys.

Drew Doughty wasn't a first overall guy.

go through it here.

Like, Jonathan Tays wasn't a first overall guy.

The recent Cup champions, they're not only just exclusively first overall guys.

You're going to... Alex Petrangelo.

There's fantastic players going two, three, four.

yes, you want the ultimate reward, but it's still a positive direction.

It's still a positive step, drafting third.

Yeah.
