GDT: The 2022 NHL Entry Draft Thread

[Thechozen1]

The Winnipeg Jets have a 1.5% chance to win the upcoming 2022 NHL Draft Lottery, scheduled to take place on Tuesday, May 10.

Actually a higher chance winning the lottery than making the playoffs for a while there.

Montreal Canadiens – 18.5%
Arizona Coyotes – 13.5%
Seattle Kraken – 11.5%
Philadelphia Flyers – 9.5%
New Jersey Devils – 8.5%
Chicago Blackhawks* – 7.5%
Ottawa Senators – 6.5%
Detroit Red Wings – 6.0%
Buffalo Sabres – 5.0%
Anaheim Ducks – 3.5%
San Jose Sharks – 3.0%
Columbus Blue Jackets – 2.5%
New York Islanders – 2.0%
Winnipeg Jets – 1.5%
Vancouver Canucks – 0.5%
Vegas Golden Knights** – 0.5%

My prediction is the Flyers win the lottery to pick 1st and the Sharks will win the next to pick 2nd.

Would be great to see Montreal get knocked down a couple spots.

So, if Winnipeg were to win the draft lottery, we would be taking #5?

Assuming the Jets stay at #14 who would you be REALISTICALLY excited to see the Jets draft? I would be excited to see Cutter Gauthier or Brad Lambert available. Blake Wheeler may be retired by the time our 2022 draft pick is ready for top 6 minutes so you need to replace him. Gauthier is committed to Boston College so him playing a year or two there would never be a problem with management.

We can win and move up to either 4th or 5th or move down to 15th or as low as 16th if both Vancouver and Vegas were to win but that's exceedingly unlikely.

I'm hoping Geekie falls to 14th but that's unlikely.

pretty sure if we win the first draw we get pick #4 and if we win the second we would get #5

I used to work with an old man who was from Strathclair. I told him about the Geekie's.

I saw Liam Ohgren went from #11 to #8 and Jonathan Lekkerimaki went from #9 to #6 internationally. I love players who make big jumps. Kevin Korchinski made the largest jump though going from #20 to #7 North America. Anyone have any information on him other than the scouting reports.

Here is what I found:

Liam Ohgren's Player Profile​

Eetu Siltanen - Dobber Prospects - Mar. 20th: "Offensively skilled player with good size. Ability to score goals and create chances. Point production in U20 has been amazing but in the SHL, not so much yet. However, high offensive upside. NHL ETA 1-2 years."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - Mar. 9: "Has been able to work through some background noise to have a very productive season."

Peter Baracchini - The Hockey Writers - Mar. 1st: "He plays with such a high level of pace, tracking loose pucks and is tenacious when engaging in a battle for possession. He’s a high-end playmaker and his shot is always on display."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Feb. 14th: "His shot comes off his blade quickly and naturally, with little drawback into his stance when he’s letting it go. His offensive arsenal is multi-faceted and he’s got some real evasiveness to his game to complement it."

Josh Bell - SportingNews/FC Hockey - Dec. 23rd: "He’s excellent with the puck on his stick thanks to his stand-out creativity. He is very calm and patient while knowing how to use his puck to protect the puck. He makes difficult plays look easy and seems to stand out in every game."

Jonathan Lekkerimaki's Player Profile​

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - Mar. 9: "Driver of play with elite finishing ability."

Peter Baracchini - The Hockey Writers - Mar. 1st: "He’s a lethal sniper with a strong and powerful release and even better accuracy. Even when he doesn’t have anything, he has great patience to take his time to curl back and quickly attack the open lane when he sees it."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Feb. 14th: "He has progressed rapidly, quickly becoming a dynamo inside the offensive zone and on the power play. He’s got a knack for hitting holes in the net, frequently beating goalies low-blocker and five-hole."

Josh Bell - SportingNews/FC Hockey - Dec. 23rd: "He’s yet another forward in this class with an excellent shot,

who seems to be able to get it off his stick from anywhere in the offensive zone at any time and put it in the back of the net. He’s a very strong skater and plays hard in the offensive zone, but he could stand to bring that effort back to his own end."

Not bad for the third try

I think it was my 3rd try also that I had the Jets moving all the way up! I mean it did happen once and we got Laine =D

In what scenario would the Jets end up drafting 5th?

pretty sure we'd get 5th if we won the second draw

 

[drumzan]

pretty sure we'd get 5th if we won the second draw

“The 1st overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls. A team can only jump ten spots, so only the top 11 teams are eligible for the 1st pick. If a team in the 12-16 range wins the first drawing, the first pick will remain with the worst team.

The 2nd overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls. If a team in the 12-16 range won the first drawing, the worst team keeps the 1st pick and is excluded from the second drawing. Like the first drawing, the second winner can only jump ten spots.”

It says team can jump 10 spots in both draws.

no idea then

 

[GeorgeJETson]

In the simulator I played with, if a team above the Jets win 1st, but below the top 4, and the Jets won second, then the Jets wound up in 5th place.

That was the simulator, and not official, so take all that with a grain of salt.

Not really sure what that means. Perhaps I’d need to see it.

Everything you need to know about the 2022 NHL draft lottery

The NHL's 16 non-playoff teams all have a shot at moving up the draft order.

www.espn.com

Move-up limitation. Starting with this season's draft, the number of spots that a team can move up if it wins the lottery has been limited to 10 picks. So, bad news for teams Nos. 12 to 16 in the lottery: You can't win the first overall pick.

So even if the Jets "win" the lottery the best they can move up is 10 spots.

Lets goooo hockey gods. Give us a lottery win.

Yes. The Jets have a 2.1% chance of moving up to 4th or 5th pick.

I’m “assuming” the way they end up in 5th pick is if they win the first draw and move to 4th. But then a team in spots 4-13 wins the second draw pushing the Jets back to 5th spot.

I'd still take the 4th or 5th pick and grab Savoie/Nemec/Jiricek

Tankathon has not been friendly to me today. Let's hope the real lottery has better results.

A #4 finish is quite fine by me.

 

[cbcwpg]

Ran the Tankathon simulator 50 times today.

In those 50 simulations the Jets moved 3 times. Two (2) times they dropped to 15th , and one (1) time they moved up to 5th.

The bad news would be for the Montreal fans, as in most of the simulations, Montreal did NOT get the 1st pick.

[drumzan]

There’s conflicting info out there. I’m still not sure Tankathon is correct. They’re saying Jets can draft 4th or 5th. Aavco Cup says that’s incorrect. And so does Micah McCurdy.

I’m not sure that makes sense. Why have two lotteries if they both can result in the same thing
