Montreal now has the 4th best odds for Bedard...

[rahad]

His last name is French... good enough.

His grand father is from Quebec.

It would be incredibly idiotic to count it to the team that sold the pick.

Lets say Montreal wins the bedard pick and trades it for McDavid. Why shouln't that count against us?

You realize the chances of this happening are astronomical.

-ly low.

Bedard really feels Chicago esque.
He would also fit in a SJ uniform.

Cant picture him in a Blue jackets uniform. Impossible.

I hear what you’re saying, but I still think it’s murky regarding moving up via another team’s pick. In other words, if Florida’s pick moves up, is it Florida moving up with Montreal as the beneficiary, or is it considered that Montreal is moving up? Conversely, suppose my Blackhawks are lucky enough to advance in the draft and win the lottery the next two years. In year-3, their pick wouldn’t be eligible to win, but according to you if they trade the pick then the pick could win the lottery for another team? Again, that could be how it works, but it’s far from clear.

Dude, it's clear. You're just not used to reading legal documents. The phrase I quoted is right after they talk about advancing in the draft order. The limitation is applied to the team that wins a draw to advance. The Florida pick BELONGS to montreal, so if a draw is won, it's Montreal winning it.

Stop creating a dilema whrre there is none.

NHL announces changes to Draft Lottery format

“(3) Limit on Teams Winning a Lottery Draw
No single team will be able to advance in the Draft order by reason of winning a Lottery Draw more than two (2) times in any five (5) year period. This limitation will not affect a Club's ability to retain its presumptive Draft position in any Draft Lottery, nor would it preclude the possibility of the Club moving down in Draft Order to the extent other Clubs advance by reason of winning the Lottery Draws”

Thanks man. That seems much clearer.

No. I'm saying an unprotected lottery pick has high value in trades, because of its potential. Why should the team trading away these picks not "pay their dues" so to speak in the limit of winning? The reason the pick has such a high trade value was because of said chance of winning.

Chicago could trade their unprotected first this year for a pile. Why would they get the return, and a chance to win in the future 2/5 years along with that?

I'm not arguing how you're interpreting it, or how it reads. I'm arguing whats fair.

Originally I wanted him to be a Kraken for the sake of them being new, close to his home, and it's always nice for a new franchise to have a franchise player.

But I want him to be a Canuck. If not the Canucks, maybe Habs or Blue Jackets.

If a team had 1 and 2 should definitely pick Bedard and Michkov.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

If the Chiarot trade lands MTL Bedard, greatest trade in the history of the NHL

And what about the Chiarot signing?

Greatest UFA signing of all sports?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

can't see florida finishing that low

Written with crossed fingers?

 

[General Fanager]

At this point I am just hoping for 2 top 10 picks in a really deep draft. Anything better than that is a dream scenario....

 

[Weztex]

I wouldn't worry about it they will draft someone who speaks French

You managed to sound ignorant, unoriginal and unfunny in the same post. This must have taken some level of effort.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

leafs fans dumb comments keep piling up in this thread.

merry xmas

oh come on its just a joke. guys make them all the time about my team

I guess it's only funny when its not about your team. these types of jokes are used against my team almost on the daily. you will be fine

 

[Apotheosis]

Habs could turn their team around very quickly all things considered. Only have to iron out their back end but should be interesting to spectate this rebuild at a glance.

 

[DaPhazz]

I'd feel really bad for Bedard if he ended up a Hab.

Lol, who cares

 

[DaPhazz]

lol what? dude you do know only 3 teams have won 1st overall after finishing dead last in the league right?
Toronto, Buffalo and Montreal so I would say that they for sure won a lottery


I wouldn't worry about it they will draft someone who speaks French

Holy molly that's a funny one there pal!! Lololol

Holy molly that's a funny one there pal!! Lololol

did it hurt your feelings or somethng?

 

[SladeWilson23]

Montreal shouldn't even be in the discussion to get him. Caufield and Suzuki are more than enough to build around.

 

[Dr Beinfest]

Neat

It’s cute that you post this one-word quip at him, meanwhile there isn’t a Hab fan in sight that can’t stop fantasizing about Florida’s pick being first overall. This thread is basically another variant of that.

 

[nucksflailtogether]

I guess the lesson is never ever trade an unprotected first in a future year. Anything can happen. And their 2025 first is gone now too I believe?

[sansabri]

i'm liking those odds

 

[NewEraGM]

Mind blowing Florida actually traded an unprotected first for chiarot. That’s a fireable offense…absolute disaster for that team
