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

[neelynugs]

unfortunate end with the b's comeback tuesday and the flyers losing 2 straight.

but 5th worst pre-lottery is pretty damn good. on february 1, this team was 16th best
in the entire league. we'll see how the balls fall, but 5th pick would be great. and 2nd
pick would be even better

tank thread was fun, better than watching this poop roster without anything to root for.

Misa be a dream pick but Bruins need all they picks they have and can't see anyone trading away chance at Misa.Pray for lottery win my man

Isnt Jacobs very close to bettman? Wink wink nudge nudge.

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

You know your 90% is just pink dream of princess
The reality is 58% chance of 6-7th
25% stay 5th
And 17% 1-2

If we stay 6th that's a huge win also that 7th spot scares me.

San Jose and Chicago would both take Schaefer. The other likely takes Misa. I can see Nashville or Seattle wanting Martone. Philly wants a center so that's a potential issue. So unless the lottery is won by an outlier I think it'll still be a choice of Desnoyers, Frondell and Hagens. If we end up 7th and Hagens falls due to his size (as some suggest might happen) then I doubt Sweeney passes on him but if we are 5th could be any of those 3. I still want Desnoyers, I think he will be the best of those 3 but any of those 3 will be fine I think.

They almost pulled it off

As long as the 7th guy is OBrien filling a definite need both positionally and skillset I’m good

4 would have been great factoring in guarantees the consensus top 6

My April Red Line came today and they did overrated and underrated by CHL three leagues and McQueen was listed as overrated - as was Ethan Bear

Somehow this will all work out well I wanted 6 the day they blew it up but human greed I moved the goal posts to 4, but 5 is very good as long as we keep it

Sucks waiting but hopefully good things come to those who wait

 

[Demon Eyes]

If this means James Hagens I'm all for it

Maybe they'll go defense and grab Sascha Boumedienne in 7th

 

[GordonHowe]

So, where are they now?

First two picks are set I think. Nashville is a wildcard, but I say they go Hagens with the possibility of Frondell, who reminds me of Filip Foresberg vey much. As I said earlier, Philly seems to be going for Desnoyers just like the Bruins.

I agree that it will come down to Frondell or Hagens-whoever NSH does not take. If we get kicked to six, which is likely, then Matrone, who I do not want.

Now it's time to root for FLA for the first two rounds, then to get destroyed in the conf finals.

Great thread. And thank you, nugs, for putting all the time organizing and managing it. My only source of updates on the lottery possibilities.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

then Matrone, who I do not want.

Why?
I mean I'd prefer one of the centers but Martone looks like a solid winger.

 

[GordonHowe]

It's all so clear to me now.

Or not,

Bruins will enter NHL draft lottery with 5th-best odds of landing No. 1 pick

The Boston Bruins will enter the NHL Draft Lottery with the fifth-best odds at the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Flyers look like shit!!

Always were!

 

[quietbruinfan]

He does, but I would rather have someone quicker and more dynamic as a cornerstone player.

 

[Gordoff]

all cause of one point and still lost the game. /ugh

It's called Bruins! Of course the players have pride and are playing for a job next year but management should've
found a way to play Bussi and whichever plugs they could
insert into the lineup.

 

[BiteThisBurrows]

That's fair, and I don't disagree, but I won't be unhappy if it ends up Martone either. Unless Sweeney goes off board whoever we pick should instantly become our top prospect.

 

[Olden McGroin]

The Bruins will not know where exactly they will pick in the NHL Draft until the NHL Draft Lottery is held, with a date yet to be announced. With the fifth-best odds, Boston has the ability to move all the way up to No. 1, and could fall down to No. 7.

According to Tankathon, here are the odds that the Bruins have at landing several picks entering the draft.

1st overall: 8.5 percent
2nd overall: 8.6 percent
3rd overall: 0.3 percent
4th overall: 0 percent
5th overall: 24.5 percent
6th overall: 44.0 percent
7th overall: 14.2 percent

 

[Gordoff]

They should explore trading up if they have to, but again Sweeney and company are about as proactive as a rock.

 

[Gordoff]

Reimer just made a ridiculous save. Puck was about ½ millimeter from Philly tying the game 4-4. It doesn't get closer than that... Toronto made the call.

Of COURSE they did.

 

[KOZ37]

Now we hope 5 is the sweet spot for winning the draft lottery. Hopefully the Flyers don't win it.
