The Enigma plays for the Habs now. Montreal is just torching the league, too.
No. 9: 2000
Last-place team: Atlanta Thrashers
Lottery-winning team: New York Islanders
First overall pick: Rick DiPietro
How much did it hurt?: A ton for the Islanders. It's not often that you can use the phrases "disastrous lottery win," but such was the Mike Milbury era. The Isles jumped from fifth to first and did a jig about it, then used the top pick on DiPietro. It's fair to say it didn't work out. Not only did DiPietro eventually get one of the worst contracts (and later one of the most expensive buyouts) in NHL history, but the Islanders made room for him by trading a young Roberto Luongo to Florida.
How the hell do the Stars lose to Toronto twice in a week?

14. The NHL’s Player Safety Department met with several repeat offenders in an attempt to reign them in. One was Zac Rinaldo, who escaped suspension a week earlier for hitting Sean Couturier, much to the department’s chagrin. While in Arizona during camp, Chris Pronger spoke with Steve Downie and John Scott. New Jersey’s Jordin Tootoo was offered the opportunity after being fined for a dangerous trip. Now on the radar? Washington’s Tom Wilson. Several teams have complained about his hits. As of yet, no meeting. But it’s been requested.
Great news everyone, my work is no longer blocking Sportsnet!
So here is this week's 30 Thoughts: Try bigger nets in the All-Star Game.
(Oh lord, more scoring in the All Star Game?)
Apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't like Tom Wilson:
Calling more penalties won't fix NHL's scoring issue
Speaking of, where is SnD?
