I agree, but if it were true the Devils would already own the pick and if van lost would get another shot at the lottery. OH well.

devils744 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 For playoff stat purposes only are the play-in rounds counting as actual playoffs. The real playoffs don't start until the play-in round is over. Vancouver wins that we get their pick. They loose the play-in round we get it next year.

I really don’t see Vancouver taking a step back next season. They have a pretty good young team. I guess it’s possible Hughes could have a sophomore slump though, or Pettersson, Boeser, etc could get hurt (not that I’d wish for that). But this draft is supposed to be the deepest in a while. Rather have it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season being cancelled can really either facilitate some of those things just as much as costing us those things... we just gotta hope for the best 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Stop me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Mike Green a free agent...? I will NEVER fault people for pulling out of playing. I’d rather them not give a reason, just say “nah, I’m out.” All these baseball players taking this moral high ground crap stance honestly pisses me off.

I’m never going to question someone if they say, “hey, I’m out” unless they decide to justify it and I do not agree. I’ll criticize that approach if we don’t share the same views, obviously, but if a person just rides into the sunset this season, hell go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What excuse did the NHL come up with to deny us a pick that seems like it should, pretty plainly and logically, be ours? I imagine it's something insanely stupid and along the lines of "Oh, well, all of the rules and conditions from the trade were technically satisfied, but they didn't occur under normal circumstances, everything was out of whack because of Covid, so we're just going to say screw it and Vancouver gets to keep their pick. It wouldn't be fair to them. You understand, right? Great." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
