The Worshington fanbase has seen this movie too many times and it never ends well for us. All these years of the lotto hating us would all be forgotten with the arrival of Connor Bedard though. Please sim gods.... please

And the big winner is .........








The Vegas Golden Knights

Jamie's team finished dead last and had the best odds of winning the lottery and takes home the big prize. Congrats!


Tough luck for teams that take some big drops in an important draft.
