2023 NHL Draft situation

[ColbyChaos]

Ummm remember the bubble season of 2019-20? Pts pct...as teams didn’t play the same amount of games

A once in a lifetime event…solid reasoning

All it took was a world changing pandemic.

The current draft order is literally listed by points %.
So to answer your question of who does it that way. … The NHL.

They go by points at the end of the year and that's all that matters.

I know how to use Tankathon too.

Raw points is end all be all, this isn’t a pennant race

ROR’s overrated ass was traded to the leafs for their first this year

 

[hawksfan50]

CBJ 38 pts 55GP
CHI 39 Pts 54GP
ANH 40 pts 55GP

at the end of the year points and points % are exactly the same order. Don’t be stupid, math is math, its not that hard.
If the Jackets and the Hawks play the rest of the year exactly as they have played to this point (before this win) the Jackets are 1st and the Hawks 2nd.

Didn’t Dubas say less than a week ago that he wasn’t trading the 1st for a rental! LOL

If. I get what you're saying and it's a semantics argument I don't particularly care to have.

you can still find the thread on the trade forum. Traded a first for an even more cooked forward with 19pts this season

Well.. now we gotta hope Toronto finishes ahead of points over Tampa. Don't want the Blues picking in front of the Hawks even at the end of the 1st round.

Points doesn't matter if either team advances and they likely play each other.

You're right. I'm basically predicting Toronto actually makes it out of the 1st round for once LOL.

I’m not positive but I think you’re wrong.
Example
Tampa finishes ahead of Toronto but Boston wins the division. If both Tampa and Toronto lose in either of the 1st 2 rounds they are still ranked by regular season totals.
Losing in rd 1 doesn’t automatically mean you’re picking 17 to 24.

This sounds right

Any chance Oliver Moore slips some and we can grab him with another 1st if we get one in the 15-20 range?

That seems to be the range people did have him in but recently I've only seen him in the top ten.

Slim chance. I'd put him in around 10-12.

Yotes take it to overtime with the Jackets and win

 

[clydesdale line]

Hawks and Jackets now tied in points (CBJ has 2 losses in hand).

Anaheim now the worst team currently.

 

[slappipappi]

who keeps track of the standings by point % lol.

We are last

The NHL does.

 

[HjamSandwich]

#1 overall odds are huge. Need to liquidate talent on this team no matter what.

The lotto odds aren't set up like the NBA. Very steep drop off in value.

Ducks lose but take it to OT.

By the way, every team in the league this year already has more points than the 2020 Red Wings had with ~15 games in hand

Where wings fans said they weren't tanking because they traded for Perlini and Ratty

The Hawks right now have more wins than losses in 2023 (11 to 10 by my count). That is unbelievable with this roster. Hat's off to Luke Richardson I guess. And surprisingly, even with all this winning, they still are in the hunt for the worst record.

But what it's also doing is putting them in the hunt for possibly picking 6th or 7th, or maybe even 8th if this winning keeps up, and a team or two jump over them in the lottery.

If the Hawks want their best shot at Bedard, maybe it's time to push for trades of Murphy and McCabe asap? Unless they feel staying the course is in their best interests, even if it means missing out on Fantilli, Carlsson or Bedard.
