NHL Draft lottery race II - Bruins locked into 5th before ping pong balls.

[Aussie Bruin]

Unless it drops to... 7 is it? That would be unfortunate. I doubt the Bruins win the lottery.

Yeah that's possible. But we have no control over that.

 

[KlausJopling]

Okay. Time to shut off hockey until the lottery.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Yeah that's possible. But we have no control over that.

Well they did...

 

[GordonHowe]

I'm gonna be so bummed when they draft Eklund.

 

[GordonHowe]

I'm going to be so bummed when they draft some guy I've never heard of.

Book it.

I played sim lottery a lot on tankathon and I see most of the time we stay in same spot or drop 1 at most.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Well they did...

No, the lottery. They could fall 2 places whether they were 4th or 5th.

 

[The don godfather]

1. Shaefer
2. Misa
3. Hagens
4. Frondell
5. Desnoyers
6. Martone
7. Eklund

So at worst, it'll be Martone or Eklund, maybe O Brien if we end up 7 and Sweeney wants a C. If we're lucky we stay at 5

Key is dont drop 7th it seems a large drop off from there I feel.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

The Bruins did a pretty solid intentional tank. The one step they refused to take was to rest healthy players. Which they probably should have done, especially on the road. Still, pick 5 from where they were is decent. Only one away from the maximum potential spot.

Overall, yes it was good, but they didn't go all the way. That is the frustrating part.

 

[The don godfather]

I say 90 percent chance we stay at 5th or 6th. Were gonna get a good one. Donny dont mess this up.

 

[Sheppy]

Such a joke.

Yeah I know but staying at 6 at worst got them one of the centers and I guess with OBrien climbing they still do but they definitely made sure to end the tank in an inefficient way when you look what they sold off to get there. Hopefully Bettman still wants ice cream served at arenas and hooks the B's up.

Right now it's a little annoying. But I say wait and see who they draft before we make any sort of early call on whether that extra point really proved damaging or not.

 

[DiggityDog]

So one of Schaefer, Misa, Hagens, Frondell, Martone, Desnoyers, and O’Brien?

I will take it.

 

[McBrom7]

I'm just hoping to not move down at this point. Even 1 spot down to 6 feels like a win.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Okay so when is the lottery taken place? Is there a date?

Thanks in advance

I don't know if there is an official date, but I think it's usually early May.

Google AI says May 5-6.

Such a joke.

Einstein said he did not believe God plays dice with the universe.

I disagree.

 

[The don godfather]

So one of Schaefer, Misa, Hagens, Frondell, Martone, Desnoyers, and O’Brien?

I will take it.

Desnoyers or martone will be there when we pick watch and see .

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

I will be spending the next few days taking a deep dive into Frondell, OBrien and Desnoyers. One of those three seem most likely.

 

[Demon Eyes]

So how far back does Sweeney reach to pick a local boy, centre, captain and commited to university?

I will take it.

That means Sweeney going to take one of
McQueen,Mrtka,Eklund or Bear

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Flyers have 5 picks in the top 40, they would have been happy to be 5th.

They also have potential to grab Shaefer going from 4th to 1st or Misa going to 2nd.

If this means James Hagens I'm all for it!
