While it would be nice, it’s really not the end of the world if we win.

At most, it costs us 10% in odds for #1OA, which really isn’t THAT much.

In regards to having a minimum of drafting #3OA vs #4OA, it really doesn’t matter as 2-6ish are all the same tier of prospect.
This one I disagree with... It's the difference between flipping a coin twice and getting heads both times, and needing heads three times. 25.5% vs 13% is a big difference, and even though 3 and 4 through 10 may look kind of similar, I'd rather the staff gets to choose anyone except Celebrini and one of the D or the next best forward.

It's great that we more or less have 4OA or better locked up but I'd still like the best odds.
 
There's a very good chance that we'll get the 2nd overall pick. So let's say that our GM wants to trade up for Macklin, what would it cost to go from 2nd to 1st?

Not gonna happen in a draft with a clear cut number 1.
Those trades just don't happen and for a reason.
Especially in a draft with a clear cut Nr.1 that doesn’t choose to go the 88-route

I'm afraid the gap between #1 and #2 is so dramatic this year, any GM trading #1 for #2 will be fired, hence there will be no deal. Also, the likeliest pick if we finish with the worst record is #3. I suppose Smith + our pick may get us #1...but I just don't see either side wanting to make a deal.

Missing out on Bedard then Macklin back to back would really hurt. Seeing Macklin playing in teal would be so worth going through the years of rebuilding. Is the lottery televised or is the result just get announced? Chicago better not get #1 again.

It was televised last year, I'm guessing they'll do it again this year.

I thought they just televised the announcement of the picks in reverse order. The actual lottery happens before that with team representatives in the room where it occurs. Televising the lottery would be tough because there are four separate draws and the mapping between the four numbers drawn and which team wins is complex. It is not like they pull out a ball which contains the winning team.

Used to be that way.
 
Considering we’ve never won the 1OA you’d think we were due.

Huge tank week this week. We're still a game in hand on the Hawks but we are now 4 points back. Gotta lose to them again next Saturday. Might be just enough to secure worst place.

For those who haven't yet seen the light: best site to track the tank.

It's crazy to think that if last year went just little different, we would've had the NJ Devils 1st round pick this year... (but probably not Musty, so it's not the end of the world)
Yeah, just like in finance, I think a prospect today is worth more than a prospect next year. I'm happy with Musty. It's also why I'm hoping for the Pens pick this year.
