justdo3043 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I think it had something to do (theoretically) with a first rounder in 2012 being worth more than one in 2014 even if it was a higher pick just becasue you have the asset longer. Not defending it, but I think that's what it was. And I heard the draft next year isn't good but I'm not exactly qualified to answer thatit was stupid move...shouldnt have chanced it and what if we're a bottom ten or worse next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Buffalo winning today, that'll kick us to 9th, but pretty tenuous with two games in hand and games coming up against the Flyers and Panthers. Nashville will tie us with a win today, but again, two games in hand. That, and they probably won't win.

Triumph Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Philadelphia and Edmonton both have tiebreakers on NJ - I think the highest we could draft is 7th, barring a lottery win which is of course extremely unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I swear, knowing this Devils team, they'll win out here and end up drafting a relatively insignificant player at like 15th overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevsftw Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm not really up to date on the specifics on how the lottery works.. How high could we theoretically draft if we win the lottery? (Assuming we end up on a "natural" 7th.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevsftw Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Oh I see. That's new from this year? How do they do the lottery? I assume the worst team still has the best odds of drafting first.. Anyone know the specifics of the odds? I guess this is probably info available on some nhl website.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpower Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) The Flyers win tonight bumped us to 8th. Any Oilers points will send us to 7th. But Minny just scored to make it 2-1. Tampa is also heading to the SO, if they win, they go to 39 points. So, who knows. Edited April 17, 2013 by maxpower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he'll be a good role player for the team probably... In a way he couldnt get a spot on a stacked u18 team... But got a spot as an 18 years old on an NHL team with bad depth... He's projected to be a 3rd line winger and will likely always have to live with the fact we picked him when we should have forfeit the pick so if hes not doing enough, we'll hear about how a bad decision it was... All depending on what pick we'll have to give up next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the same age as Markstrom and Florida is willing and confident in him giving him quite a few starts when some vet we're down and even when they we're healthy Edited April 17, 2013 by SterioDesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah, you know Matteau is pretty insignificant, since he's a 29th overall..... He's no worse than Corrente or half dozen other first round picks we've selected. It's early but, again, he's no Corrente Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah, you know Matteau is pretty insignificant, since he's a 29th overall..... I'd say it's way too early to tell one way or the other about him, but he surely didn't show anything during his brief stint here that screams "first line forward". He probably projects to a 2nd-3rd line power forward type, similar to Zubrus. It's a pick I wouldn't have been upset forfeiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably projects to a 2nd-3rd line power forward type, similar to Zubrus. It's a pick I wouldn't have been upset forfeiting. He's also only 18, so it's early to be making any final decisions. The team will need a zubrus type in the future. That being said, I'd rather have forfeited last year than this or next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldply123 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 With the remaining schedule we have, it's certainly not out of the question that Buffalo and Philly could overtake us. We're probably going to end up with the 8-10 range. I don't see Calgary dropping below us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravityFat Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 judging from the oilers' ridiculous luck, they will probably win the lottery, and we will get the second overall pick from our ridiculous luck at the larsson pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
