HF Habs: Flames or Panthers 1st Round Pick 2025: Part II

[MarkovsKnee]

Great! We will draft 15th and 16th in the next draft!

If we miss the playoffs, we'll likely get the 13th OA pick.

 

[sansabri]

so 13th, 17th, 29th or 32nd to go with 16th

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Florida has been crap down the stretch. If the injured guys aren't ready Tampa will beat them and their pick won't be much later than Calgarys

They're 22nd & Calgary is 16th. That's pretty significant.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Poor Calgary, they actually came back & tied Vegas in 3rd period.

They got 2 goals in 32 seconds in the first minute of the 3rd.

They're a feisty team that's for sure.

Yeah. I forgot there are 8 teams gone after the 1st round so they would likely rank at the top of those teams.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I'd have liked to have seen Calgary in. That would've given us a shot at six Canadian teams.

Glad they are out. Hopefully Buttman won't screw up Habs pick by having them win the lottery.

 

[Kimota]

Good on the Flames to at least win their last game.

 

[rahad]

Glad they are out. Hopefully Buttman won't screw up Habs pick by having them win the lottery.

that would be beyond unlucky.

 

[DrBizz4r3]

I’m at peace with the results of the habs. If they miss it, we pick 13th (or win the lottery) and i hope a burning rage/deception for the offseason/next season. If we make it backdoor, playoffs experience

 

[Bombshell11]

Is the pick protected if it wins the lottery?

 

[Bacchus1]

So is Mailcom Spence a good option for that pick?

 

[Rockomax]

Is the pick protected if it wins the lottery?

It is

 

[Colezuki]

If I’m not mistaken the flames have like a 0.5% chance of winning the lottery? That’s the only way we lose the pick at this point

The last time all six Canadian NHL teams (Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets) qualified for the playoffs in the same season was in 1986.

At that time, there were seven Canadian teams, including the Quebec Nordiques, who also made the playoffs in 1986.

1.1% or something.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Pretty much the best case scenario for us. Sucks for the flames but we should be able to get a decent prospect or use the asset in a trade.

 

[Colezuki]

1.1% or something.

Right two draws chances at both

 

[LaP]

I think the rankings remain the same except for the semis and scf teams.

1-16 : all teams who did not make the playoffs ranked by points.
17-28 : all teams eliminated in the 1st and 2nd round ranked by points.
29-30 : teams eliminated in the semis ranked by points.
31 : team who lost in the scf
32 : team who won the cup

I'm not 100% sure though.

This is correct.

I think it's John Smoltz (or Greg Maddux not sure anymore) who once said thet he never learned anything from winning and that he always learned something when he lost or something along those lines. Losing would not be the end of the world it would be great experience either way. Losing is part of the process.

It is the process if you're the Leafs.
