I'm pretty sure the picks, aside from the last round, were pre-determined already. They likely did the draft off camera and just made it so players can choose the ones they've already selected in any order. There's no way they would've gotten the jersey names AND numbers to the players so quickly unless there is a magician off camera...

Or maybe they have all 4 jersey’s duplicates  and ready to go? That’s another way…

Imagine a star player getting hurt in that tournament... how hard are they really going to play?

Canada Cup's were brutal.   Doubt we will see any Suter like cross checks to McDavid or McKinnon.   Or ankle breakers like Bobby Clarke in the 70's,  won't see me complaining about the format though.    Looks to be a re-match of 96, if they come out playing like it means something anyways.

Not including the Captains and the last round, you think they made 128 jersey variations for this? Come on.

Possibly, but they looked really disorganized and hence the cringe factor.  

 

I think they had Velcro stick on name plates.  All were same color and small.

Except Lindholm is not in the pic.  Maybe they thought Bublé was Lindy?

It was a joke. The poster has too much mushrooms though.

Easy mistake to make thinking a guy smiling that hard is someone leaving the Flames to go to the Canucks

Also picking teams must have been embarrassing for the 4 players left that nobody wanted.  That part wasn't well thought out especially if your aim was for a relaxing, laid back atmosphere. It's like No, this is the part where you're publicly shamed for being trash.  The unintended result was uncomfortable.

Dude......the last 4 went at the same time.  That was so not public shaming.  Not like if one guy was picked last.
