NHL Draft lottery race - Bruins currently have 4th Pick

[Bruin4]

Crosby with the winner! Very good Sunday for the Bruins!

 

[Lord Ahriman]

Holy Moly, what a Sunday!

 

[PlayMakers]

We're up to 7th! KEEP MCAVOY OFF THE ICE!

 

[Over the volcano]

Well it looks like they've figured out how to do something right this year

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Big Ducks fan right now…

 

[McBrom7]

I'm getting greedy. I need Stamkos to start getting his ass in gear here.

 

[bwunderlich]

So Kraken are 4th worse team in NHL with only a -19 goal differential. Sabres -22. Everyone around them is 2 or 3 times worse in terms of differential.

Unlike Bruins, the can score goals.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

The sens need to tie one more game to eliminate the Bruins from the 1st wild card spot, and the Habs need about 3 or 4 wins.

Forth from the bottom is realistic now, crazy times we live in. The most points the Bruins can get is 85, that is if they win all remaining 8 games.

It is an excellent Sunday for the tank!!!!

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Habs are not winning anything this year. The higher they finish, the worst their pick will be. So even if they beat us it's a win-win for us.

Never win win when we lose to them. Beat them every time!!!!!

 

[goldenblack]

I'm excited guys!

 

[22Brad Park]

I'm excited guys!

Me too.Seattle only 1 pt back of Bruin as well.

Bettman owes us a favour....tank for 1st overall

We don’t need 1 …..we can do two

 

[DKH]

Kind of surprising that 4th is 9.5% and 8th is 6% (so not huge advantage really)

Really the big upside of 4th is drafting no later than 6th.

Yup

They are 7 and Buffalo & Philadelphia playing well

Puts us at 5

Kraken are in 90% of games so we can hit 4

If Sweeney allows McAvoy to play the Bruins mods should allow only Mark aka Gordon Howe to post and kill them

They are right there - it’s a real good center draft and any of top 9 picks - maybe 10 they should get a high end prospect

Heavy forwards specifically centers in top 9

I can see top 5 without moving up via lottery win

I can see top 5 without moving up via lottery win

I want 4 because it gives us a couple of months discussing Hagens, Frondell, Desnoyers etc

We need to have stuff to do

ryan leonard NHL debut tuesday ?

I get the sense there is a major drop off after the top 6 or 7. It’s looking good but we still seem to be firmly in the fringe area of an otherwise weak draft.

Keep losing is the recipe

I hope so I’ll be ice level

I was there for Mario Lemieux & Connor Bedard first nhl goal at my end within 20 feet - so let’s go !!!!!

 

[Bruinator]

I honestly can't see them getting a point this week. Looks like four scheduled losses to me. I'd be shocked if they weren't at number 4 by the end of next week. I would not be surprised if nashville eventually passes as well. I'm thinking three or four is inevitable. That will be a very good chance to win the lottery.

 

[BruinsFan37]

Ideal outcomes for 3/31:

Nashville beats Philly in OT
Seattle beats Dallas

 

[Ratty]

IF we win the lottery (looking ahead with rose colored glasses), will it be the defenseman, Schaefer or the forward, Misa?

If Bruins won the lottery they could probably trade back a spot and get Misa anyways.Good way to add another asset.Pretty good bet Hawks and Sharks would take Schaefer.I am Sweeney I would reach out to find out .
