Around the NHL: Part XXIV

Same. That team was good and those Rangers/Isles games that year were absolutely gripping and intense.

Other than that the Islanders have been mostly irrelevant for the entirety of my life lol.

That team gassed out pretty hard towards the end of the year, mostly after we took their soul in that one 6-5 or 7-6 game.

 

[Thirty One]

I think 20-22

I don't think so. There's still two teams in each conference (NYI, MTL, VAN, CGY) that was below Carolina so the range will still be 5 picks. I'm just not sure if Dallas is seeded before Carolina as they were one of the teams that skipped the play-in round.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Either 20-24 or 19-23, I'm not 100% clear

20-24 depending on how many lower ranked teams reach their respective conference final

 

[eco's bones]

True and he deserves credit. But his style really doesn’t work today like it did say 10-15 years ago. Don’t get me wrong you can still get into the playoffs but not go too far. That gridding type of style tires out your players. We saw in with our own team in 2012

To a degree he's working with a situation where guys like Dubois, Atkinson and Bjorkstrand are his most dangerous forwards. They're good but they're not elite. Losing Panarin hurt. We've never had top end forwards until later in their careers (Messier, Gretzky, Jagr) or too late (Bure, St. Louis). Even Gaborik and Nash--their time with the Rangers good year, bad year, good year, bad year and Nash finished off with 3 years of 'I can't afford another concussion' play.

Anyway most teams that win are going to have some very good grinders. I think the thing that ate up players like Girardi and Callahan was all the shot blocking and Callahan had a reckless style of play and he wasn't exactly a big guy.

Either 20-24 or 19-23, I'm not 100% clear

It’s about to be 21-24, assuming Arizona can’t come back from 3-0 down. It currently sits at 23. The teams below them that would move down in the draft order if they make the ECF/WCF are the Islanders, Vancouver, and the winner of Dallas/Calgary.

 

[eco's bones]

Hopefully Boston hangs on. I don't want Carolina in the semi-finals. The sooner out the better. Keeps our draft pick in the early 20's---not the late 20's.

 

[Polar Bear]

Hooray, higher pick!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Muchas Gracias Brady!

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

It is satisfying watching the team that eliminated us get eliminated. Especially when it improves the draft pick they traded you. Thank you Carolina, enjoy Brady Skjei.

 

[Ghost of jas]

I think we’re now guaranteed no lower than 24.

 

[Polar Bear]

I think we’re now guaranteed no lower than 24.

Correct.

Penguins moved into a lottery pick losing the qualifying round, moving Carolina back a spot.

Yeah, I think there's a chance that Dallas is seeded below Carolina as well, as they had a playoff advantage by skipping the play-ins.

Montreal is still in too.

Yeah, I meant it currently sits at 24.

Both Dallas and Calgary are below Carolina so we should move down again

yes, yet realistic how high a mountain the Rangers must climb despite a promising rebuild.

 

[Tawnos]

They’re not. It’s by points percentage.

 

[Tawnos]

f***. I forgot Montreal hadn’t been eliminated

I guess it’s still 20-24.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

NY Rangers should twitter a "thank you" to Carolina for giving us the opportunity for 1OA and then getting knocked out in 1st round. It couldn't have worked out any better for draft pick purposes.

 

[Thirty One]

They’re not. It’s by points percentage.

Seems strange to me that Dallas' playoff advantage wouldn't be reflected in the draft order, like division winners are in previous years. I haven't read anything that rules that out so I'm keeping my options open!

 

[Tawnos]

Only if the winner of that series win the next series and moves on to the conference final.

True I’m just taking it one step at a time

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

What a shame Carolina lost

just kidding f*** Carolina

 

[aufheben]

Only if the winner of that series win the next series and moves on to the conference final.

I thought it was just if any team ranked lower than Carolina advances to the second round, we move up +1?

Did Amazing Kreiderman’s graphic lie?
