Vegas gets the same odds as the 3rd to last (Carolina right now and hopefully at the lottery).

With how bad the Canes are right now I just don't see how they aren't in a top-7 slot pre-lottery.

Top 7, I agree. Unless we luck out in the lottery though, I think will fall into our "normal" spot of the 5-8 range....where we've been 5 of the last 7 years.

2010: 7
2012: 8
2013: 5
2014: 7
2015: 7

I didn't realize they got the same odds the 3rd worst team, I thought they took the 3rd position and the actual third worst became the fourth worst. Where did they take the odds to make them the third if they are equal?

Picks 1-3 are all subject to the Draft lottery where all non-playoff teams have a chance to move up.

For the #1 pick the odds are currently:

COL - 17.9%
ARI - 12.1%
VGS - 10.3%
CAR - 10.3%

So the Canes/Vegas have essentially the same chance at #1 as the Coyotes while the Avalanche have a slightly better chance.

Can we get Hischier please?

Btw, serious question, is any of this years draft class (top10), NHL ready next season?

Could conceivably play in the NHL and effectiveness/best development strategy are two different things. I think everyone in this Draft would benefit from another year or two in juniors. That said, I think Hischier could probably play in the NHL next year.

You guys bring the Bojangles, we'll bring the guacamole. Here's hoping for a nice game of hockeyskating and fun.

PDG deserves a call out for that. Beautiful setup by Lindholm that he totally flubbed.

Peters talks about "timely saves", how about timely goals. That was atrocious.

per John. "Bill Peters was leaving it up to Murphy and Tennyson to determine who is playing their off side." :huh:

Said the same on the radio in pregame in his interview. Couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or not.

Might be that Solomon thing. They give him the wrong answer and he cuts them in half.

Ryan really doesn't belong in the NHL. He's not the biggest problem with this team, but he really isn't an NHL player.

I really believe this, but hope it's a reverse jinx also.

Tonight is the night that Lack begins his journey to being the Canes starter next year. What a time to be alive
