[neelynugs]

with the crazy race for positioning in the draft lottery, seems like we should have 1 place to discuss all the
happenings around the league. so let's do that here. wally said bring on the thread, so it's brought.

#1 SJ & #2 CHI are in a different zip code with this. #3 NSH has slipped away from the pack, too.


#4 PHI 71 PTS/20 RW/5 GR
#5 BOS 73 PTS/25 RW/3 GR
#6 SEA 74 PTS/28 RW/3 GR
#7 PIT 76 PTS/22 RW/3 GR

Only positive thing left

Huge come-from-behind W for the Ducks tonight

 

[KrugAvoy]

Bearing some unlikely winning streak seems like 8th is as high as we will get with the opportunity best case seems to be slipping to 5th overall. Obviously if teams behind us luck out with lottery balls we could drop 2 spots further but if we even stay pat we likely nab a solid center prospect, easily overtaking anyone in our system already

 

[PlayMakers]

Pittsburgh needs to get it going. I thought Crosby was good?

 

[McBrom7]

If the Bruins do their part and lose out, maybe beat Chicago down the stretch, I think we’ll be picking top 5.

Penguins have 2 games against Chicago still on the schedule so hopefully they can jump us. Buffalo has had a decent stretch of games their last 10. Praying for a dead cat bounce from Philly.

How do the lottery odds work? Anyone know?

No clue. Apparently there are two lotteries. I don't get it. Tankathon posts percentages and such, but they don't really explain how it all works. Sometimes when you run their lottery simulator, two teams move up.

They called up two top prospects so hopefully that injects some life into them

I know your post is tongue-in-cheek, but I just feel the need to point out that Crosby's 80 points in 72 games at age 37 on that dumpster fire of a team is simply remarkable. Absurd consistency - PPG or better 20 years in a row. His loyalty to the Pens is admirable, but I would have loved to see him switch to a contender for one last run at another Cup.

Lottery balls are at a premium

Perhaps management should hire Big Balls to help out

8th is probably the cutoff for a good prospect especially if a team above them reaches due to organizational need. Bruins have no good dmen in the Pipe, but if a crazy good forward is available I hope they don’t pick a dman. Idk what the right call is unless a misa, hagens or denoyers is available.

He would probably end the affiliation with Maine and Providence, cut the ladies rooms in half, and then decide to waive every LD and say we can just get new LD if having no LD doesn’t work.

Did that hurt your brain to come up with all that? wow

If I'm reading this correctly, it would be possible for the Bruins to finished 6th but draft 8th?

Yes, apparently that can happen if two teams outside the top ten win both lottery draws. I think lol.

Would just be two teams who finish behind the Bruins getting into the Top 3
