Steven M. Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Outshot 44-15 and win 5-4. That's like some divine intervention or something for us. 10 more games. So damn close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrolled through the thread but might have missed it; anyone have a breakdown of how the lottery system works this year? Also including Vegas? As far as I understand it, they're not locked into anything other than having the same percentage chance as 3rd to last. So if we were to finish right where we're at, we'd have the same chance at the lottery as Vegas. They're guaranteed to pick no lower than 6th in the first round. https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-expansion-draft-rules/c-281010592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derlique Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It looks like this draft certainly has more talent at the top than most people are giving credit, at least in NA. I wouldnt mind taking Cody Glass or NIck Suzuki at 5th OA, at least based on numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so the third place gets pushed back to 4th. I have heard it said this way on nhl radio on sirius when discussing race to the bottom as well as Talking Red and Devils Insiders podcasts although neither are the actual be-all end all. If it means two teams get the same odds, that's fine by me. but since it also says they can only go as far down as 6, it means that the devils (assuming they are third worst team) would go as low as 7 (because if lets say 3 teams win the lottery that are above the worst 4 teams - well everyone moves back). example: end of season finish (worst to first) col - arz - njd - det - dal - van end of season draft odds (worst to first) col - arz - las - njd - det - dal - van draft order after lottery assuming det/dal/van all win det - dal - van - col - arz - las - njd so since vegas is getting put in the 3 spot, you'd assume they get 3 spot odds and they're not giving more than one team odds at each slot. it would mean that there is no 4th place odds. and that is something I haven't seen anywhere. edit: tankathon.com has vegas and 3(4) spot w/ same odds. that's not NHL official though. you could be right but it hasn't been 100% verified as far as I'm concerned.

Triumph Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Dallas won and Detroit got an OT point. Sportsclubstats now says: 11% chance of finishing 25th or above 15% chance of finishing 26th 32% chance of finishing 27th 37% chance of finishing 28th 5% chance of finishing 29th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 If Boucher becomes a solid NHLer, I'll be happy - I always liked him. Vancouver is capable of blowing a 4-0 lead, so I won't post yet on the implications of a Vancouver win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know opinions here vary, but I would GREATLY enjoy seeing Parise and his ranch buddy Suter retire without a cup. ------- So it would seem we're destined to finish 27th or 28th. Not bad, would be something if the lottery balls broke out way again. Edited March 25, 2017 by Devilsfan118 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Gabriel Vilardi has been moved up to 2nd overall in the draft. I think he's the top pick this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
