As of tonight we have a 3.5% chance of getting Connor McDavid

I don't look at the standings regularly but I did just now and I gotta say... WHOA!!! We suck even much more than I knew we did.

3.5% chance of getting McDavid? I love that title. But that's wishful thinking. Right now we're the 10th worst team. My dream would be Zacha. But if there is one good year to be bad it's 2015. 10th overall pick? We could still get a very good prospect, such as the aforementioned Zacha, or Barzal, or Rantanen, or one of the d-men that come after Hanifin, etc...
 
Didn't the Ducks almost get Crosby, they settled for Ryan, but the damn near go the number 1 that year.. I would be pretty giddy if we got in the top 3 this year.

Yep, it came down to the Ducks and Pens. The Pens won and took Crosby, Ducks took Ryan, then Carolina took Johnson.
 
Love all the glass half full talk here, I (of the half empty) prefer to believe someone will score a meaningless goal in the last game denying us a can't lose superstar pick.
 
What do the Kings need to do to get to 10%?

Keep playing like their playing?

Aussuming the Kings (54 points) are incapable of catching Oilers/Sabres.... 37/33 points today.... they still need to drop below some teams....

6th place would take dropping below Phily/Ott/NJ/TO (52-48)..... to get lower the Kings would need to get below CBJ/AZ/Caroina (45-43 points)

Now if Lombardi wanted to say drop like a rock in the standings.... trade Williams.... trade Regehr.... Trade Stoll.... Bump some AHL guys and start Jones.....
