Seeing what Roy said about Lou, I can't begin to imagine how Roy and Dorion would have interacted if we hired Roy back in 2019. It would have been incredible.

Celebrini is EXTREMELY good at hockey.
Man he was impressive last night.

Was it Celebrini or Bedard that the Sens had the best odds for right before the last ball was drawn in the lottery? Either way, we've had a rough go at those.
Lol I hate feeling this old. I was in grade school when Fleury was emerging and now this guy has played longer in the league than some players have been alive

Don't think it was either
Sens never had a pick in the Bedard draft, and Sens were picking behind 4 teams with better odds in Celebrini draft.

Good on the rest of the Caps roster for rallying and getting Lindgren the win after that slip

I believe that was Celebrini. We actually couldn't draft Bedard since we had 12th overall, and could only jump to 2nd overall at best.

Wasn't Celebrini, 4 teams had better odds last year
Sens haven't had the best odds in any year, 2018 and 2020 they had the 2nd best and dropped back 2 and 3 spots. 2019 they never had a pick but they would have had best odds

Iirc, didn't we have the best odds for Crosby just before the last lotto ball number? Then the last one sent him over to Pittsburgh.
By that I mean the list of numbers each team got (like lotto tickets), not the actual draft lotto odds that we do now. We got the first 3 numbers and whiffed on the last one?
Be thankful the Habs ended up with Slaf instead of Celebrini

NIce, ^ you just unleashed the Brian Lee vs Kopitar debate...
Celebrini, assuming this is what you’re talking about:

The Sharks still had by far the best odds though, with five numbers. We were in a three way tie for second best odds though.

Ya, I watched a good chunk of that game. Bolts had a nice lead but the Caps came back and managed to get a W.

I think maybe the covid draft year there was something about us having the best odds after 3 of the 4 balls had been picked. I definitely remember something along those lines but it wasn't a recent draft, so not Bedard or Celebrini. Might have happened more than once, we don't always get adjust odds mid ping pong ball...Celebrini, assuming this is what you’re talking about:

lol at Caufield and Slaf being among all these players. They’re going to be good, but still have no business being among those names.
If it was the Covid year I guess it worked out for the best since we got Stützle and Sanderson
Not doing a good job of living up to your title as a Habs fan right now

Not what we're talking about though, that's combined odds of one of two picks winning.
What was initially referenced was odds mid lottery,
The way the lottery works is there are 14 ping pong balls, four of which are drawn. Each team gets a set of the 1001 potential combinations depending on their seeding, which if picked would signify a "win". The story was that after the first 3 ping pong balls came out, we had the best odds that the last ball would complete the set to fall into one of "our" combinations.
