SterioDesign Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 To be honest i'm not even sure if i'd want the first overall this year. I think i'd be very happy with a top 3 pick guaranteeing one of Power, Clarke or Hughes since i'm not even sure which i'd pick if i had the first overall 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 From what I read, you can win the lottery twice in 5 years, and this year’s lottery doesn’t count toward that. Is that not accurate? https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-draft-lottery-changes-announced-for-2021/c-322838154 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright and Bedard. #2 would be great in 2023 too, that Russian kid (can’t remember his name now) is also awesome.

nessus Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 Odds for each draft position: 1st: 10.6% 2nd: 10.5% 4th: 12.3% 5th: 44.0% 6th: 22.5% I'll take it: 77.5% chance of drafting in the top 5, and roughly a 1/3 chance of drafting in the top 4. Also, Vancouver has an 11.5% chance of drafting in the top 2 (compared to the Devils' 21.1%). @mfitz804is right about the restrictions on winning the lottery, it wouldn't affect the winner this year. Still an odd year to win though, because a few of the prospects expected to go in the top 5-10 don't exactly seem like high ceiling guys, more so high floor (Beniers, Edvinsson, arguably Power). Then after Hughes and Clarke, there looks to be a bunch of higher upside/lower floor guys in the teens to twenties range. Could be good if one of those guys drops to the Isles' pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 So win this year and it does not affect future picks? Let’s win and we can pick whomever we want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd gladly and happily take another (a last one) losing season like this one if it meant that we can land one of those 3 guys honestly, they are truly special 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessus Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 That 2023 draft is going to be something else. Michkov and Bedard each look like they're good enough to have been drafted first overall in any draft class since 2016. It's crazy that they're in the same draft class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 it just occurred to me that if we do draft Luke that they'll have to do the whole J. Hughes 86 and L. Hughes 43 or wtv on their jerseys. Which sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when there isn't even a concensus top 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Some might be annoyed by it, but I would assume that the greater percentage of collectors isn't. It wouldn't ever stop me from going after a certain player (cost might), but if possible, I'd prefer no initial, just a last name. This would be weird...can't say I love full first and last names on a jersey (but of course Gordie's sons Mark and Marty were teammates, along with their dad, so guess this situation was trickier): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what now? So you’re saying that you posted that, then conducted a poll of some jersey collectors to get confirmation of that? Having collected a long time, I see no reason why it would bother anyone. If anything, it adds another dimension and differentiates it from other, pre-initial jerseys and that might make it even more desirable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, wanna know who's who, just keep track of who's wearing what number. There was a terrific pitcher from the 70s and 80s names Vida Blue...while with the San Francisco Giants, he went with just his first name on the back of his jersey. Not something you see, well, almost ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
