There isn’t even a big odds gap between 4th and 8th, a measly 3.5%. It’s either meant to be…or not. As long as we stay in the bottom 9, it’s fine.
All this hand wringing and name calling on the team is uncalled for. Professionals don’t go out there trying to lose. If they did and just gave up, we’d have bigger issues of character in the room.
It’s hard to be truly bad enough to lose out the way we would want with such a soft schedule, especially with a 1d playing at Norris calibre, a franchise C breaking out and our superstar goalie back.
Just relax and enjoy the ride.
On a side note, I got this on my 1st try.

Well we signed one today. And several in the last week
Everyone gets it on their first try
Other than the ones we signed, you cant name anymore
Lol good point. Interesting that we haven’t signed a single free agent from Brazil since the season started. Surely it’s due to our incompetent and dangerous medical staff
South America has been ignored by the canucks for far too long
Now just shut down Elias Pettersson, Kuzmenko, JT Miller, Demko and Q Hughes and Let The Sun Shine In Canuck Nation!

Even Sportsnet panelists are pointing out that its not odd that the Canucks are playing much better when there's zero pressure on them.
...and the constant quips about falling out of the Bedard race...it hurts my soul.

Yah- I edited to add 'NHL free agents'
I'm happy to see the college guys get signed.
The more chances, the better the odds of getting an actual player that can stick.

not all of us are just focused on WINNING the lottery, there is also the matter of drafting 5th vs 9th, 4th vs 8th. That difference being getting a franchise piece that could play their whole career here, or a top 6 forward like a Virtanen. The higher the less likely of stumbling into a complete lemon.

Yah- I meant NHL guys, but as I said I'm happy to see the college guys sign, hope one or two actually make the team.

Wolanin, PDG, or the other depth we just signed. and before you say, you mean better than that, I would ask who they would have a chance at signing... we had what two UFA's both traded, and he signed for way more than anyone here wanted to sign him for. Like who has other teams signed? It is the stupidest point being made mid season.

Sure it's only an increase of a few percent but what most people don't realize is that you're effectively increasing your chances by a pretty significant amount.
Eg. Going from 5.0% to 7.5% is increasing your odds by 50% which is huge

Speak for yourself. I happen to know @M2Beezy keeps his eye on the situation down there.
We got Mats Sundin that one time so it’s more likely for this to happen in Vancouver.

Yeah, huge as in the difference between almost definitely not winning to nearly definitely not winning. Just buy a lottery ticket to fulfill your thrill of maybe winning a jackpot.
So if I was giving out free lottery tickets you would only want 1 only instead of 100? Ok
Most people would take the better odds

I ran the tankathon draft simulator and it took 33 times before we even got into the top 3. I can't imagine how Benning spent an entire night in the Juolevi draft year. He even said himself that it took two hours before he got into the top 3 and that was when we had much better odds.
