Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime.

880-CHAN. 534 in oil countries. So here are the NHL draft lottery results. Capitals hold their pick at 16. St. Louis as part of the Justin Falk trade with Detroit. Steve Reisman did not protect that pick. St. Louis holds their pick at 15. The Blue Jackets draft 14th. The Islanders draft 13th. The Devils draft 12th. St. Louis is at 11th. The Nashville Predators will draft 10th. Florida drafts 9th. The Jets at 8. The Kraken at 7. The Calgary Flames, I know you're heartbroken by this, did not move into the top three. Their highest ever pick? Their highest ever pick?
What were the NHL draft lottery results discussed?
Sam Bennett. That's their highest ever pick at fourth overall. So they do not get into the top five of the draft. Flames draft six. Rangers drop a couple spots. They draft fifth. The Blackhawks, who have had a lot of high picks, they drop from two to four. Vancouver, and I know there's some of you laughing right now, they drop from one to three. The San Jose Sharks, how far did they move up? Like from eight to two or nine to two?
I thought they were at nine. That's like the Vancouver thing. They held a watch party, Bob. Like they held a watch party. They were trying to stir up some hype for this. That's so painful, man.
For the Canucks? Yeah, big time. So the Canucks draft third. They drop it. Like they can only drop two spots. They drop the spots from first to third. San Jose gets a second pick. And the Maple Leafs get the first overall pick. Toronto goes up from 5-1. I'm going to give you your top three picks right here, right now. Okay? Mark this down. You want to write this down? Malhotra goes third to the Canucks. Okay? That'll be my... Malhotra third. Verhoff will go second to San Jose. San Jose needs a right shot defenseman.
How did the Calgary Flames fare in the draft lottery?
Dickinson's a left shot D. They have no prospect righties in their organization. And the Maple Leafs will take McKenna number one. There's your prediction. And the two guys that played in the NCAA last year will end up going 1-2. Let's not forget, you know, McKenna. What do you think McKenna would have done in Medicine Hat this year? 65 goals and 140 points. He had 50 points in the NCAA at Penn State. Fairhoff last year had 21 goals and 46 points in Victoria. Would he have scored 30 this year there with 75 points as a 6'4 right D? And you're going to see some other defensemen, Carson Carroll, Daxon Rudolph. Those guys are going to both go in the top 10. And we shall see. All right, we need to open up the River Cree Resort and Casino Hotline, 780-451-8800.
By the way, I bet you there are some people listening to, and this show is called Oilers Now, I bet you there are some people not disappointed that the Flames didn't end up in the top three of the draft, or that the Canucks fell out of two spots. I would be bummed in those markets. 780-451-8800. We're going to tell you Royal Pizza, Pizza Pasta, and so much more. Pick up their new spicy vegetarian pizza for a limited time. For a menu and a list of their locations, visit royalpizza.ca. I thought I saw a new liner. Can you check to see if there's a new liner for that? We are going to drop the puck with Travis on line number one. Hello, Travis. How are you doing? Not bad, my friend. Yourself? Good. What do you think?
Travis, you're on. We got you? Did we just drop two lines like that at once? Travis waited a while. Let's go to Dan on line three. Hello, Dan. How are you doing?
I'm doing great, Bob. Thanks for taking my call again. I'll make it quick because we talked for a while on the other day. Get some other callers in. So first off, I'm obviously as an Oilers fan, I'm beyond stoked to see Vancouver continue their success and fall. If I was their general manager, I would, you know, I'd try and contemplate a package and then you could bring in the Ruck Twins because we know they love their clones over in Vancouver.
