I like the Anze Kopitar comparison for him, 70 point, all-around center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M. Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 A lot of people are including Hischier in that conversation now too, presumably cause Patrick keeps getting hurt this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Devils did what they had to do but Arizona is not cooperating, they're up 4-1 in the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Insane to win 3 of 21 and still only be in 27th. Vancouver sucks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M. Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I guess either side winning was good but really wanted it to be in overtime... no idea what's going to happen this weekend. Don't see Edmonton losing to Vancouver and Arizona could easily not get a point out of Minnesota. 1 minute ago, Triumph said: Insane to win 3 of 21 and still only be in 27th.

Triumph Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 No, we clearly wanted Vancouver to win this. It was so much less likely that the Devils could catch Arizona. The Devils have a game in hand and are a point up on Arizona, which means the Devils have to lose out and Arizona has to win. If the two are tied, the Devils would be placed ahead.

One point for AZ and Devils losing out works too. Just have Van and AZ get one point and devils get zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M. Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 At least the Islanders will be playing us at the same time Toronto is playing. So they'll be playing like their season is on the line (because it is) what im REALLY worried about is we lose tomorrow then find a way to beat Detroit. That would be awful.

Jerzey Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 We have to lose the last game at Joe Lewis. It would just be rude to try to win that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Leeds Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 35 years rooting for the Devs and this is the first time I've ever wanted them to lose. Then I question myself after reading what all of you that follow prospects write and I feel like a traitor (lol) because there is no Crosby, Matthews, McDavid out there. Plus, somehow, someway, don't we all know deep down the ping pong balls wouldn't fall our way anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But things have just been so against them recently I feel that bad mojo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven M. Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I fvcking hate Vancouver. Probably doesn't even matter if we somehow stumble into a win at Detroit because Vancouver is clearly incapable of acquiring points. They've had 69 for what feels like an eternity. So glad I can finally stop having to wake up and check the score of their game, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 If Vancouver doesn't pass us, what are our odds of picking in each slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 If the Devils stay in 27th place, they have an 8.5% chance of winning a given lottery pick and 25% overall of winning the lottery in general. Then they have a 7.2% chance of picking 5th, 33% chance of picking 6th, 28.7% chance of picking 7th, and 5.2% chance of picking 8th. It's all here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0asterleav1ns Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 From what I am seeing following this years drafts I am starting to think its not going to matter too much where we pick. No one has seperated themselves, and while I believe there are no obviously elite talents like last years, 1-15 seem to all be relatively close to each other, and I am not as down on it as some. If we chose wisely there should be an impact player to be had regardless of where we pick, and there are alot of centers in there if we choose that route. Having a higher pick last year was much more important than this year imo. I have also read on several sites that there are some good talents that should be available into the third round, and some amazing goalie prospects which is a good thing considering how many draft picks we have in rounds two and three. Patrick had seemed to seperate himself but I am now hearing his work rate, defense, and injury history are becoming rather large concerns...

This talk always happens in spring. In the fall it's a clear cut #1, then you get the nitpicking and "well this guy ranked #2 is putting up a charge!"-talk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M. Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I think that I agree with it not mattering too much other than if we get #1 or 2. Other than that, everyone's boards seem to read differently. If we don't end up with Hischier or Patrick I am hoping we end up with one of the highly regarded defensemen like Makar or Heiskanen.
