Looks like Jets can no longer end in 10th draft spot. If SJ and ANA both win out, they’d get 82 points (WPG is 81). HOWEVER… SJ and ANA play each other. They could go to OT so one team gets the loser point and go to tiebreak with WPG at 81… but I believe WPG wins all tiebreakers with both teams. So now 11th draft spot is the best they can finish. (Although that’s extremely unlikely)
Plus a lottery win by a team above us could push us to 15th. Low odds of that happening of course, but wouldn't that just be the cherry on this season's sundae?
The spread between 3-4 is mild but if we are talking about the gap between 13-14 and 3-4 then you have my bingo ball dropping, lottery luck, attention.Ahh yes, but what is the GAS factor between 3rd and 4th?
Depressing we played such bad hockey this year and will get the 14th pick…. Yuk stuck in no man’s land
Watch Vancouver (or Vegas) win the lottery and the Jets fall back to the 15th spot.
Did Vegas put lottery protection on that traded pick? Wouldn’t think they would have because I don’t think they expected to miss the playoffs.
so they had an idea and still were unprepared!!!this is my "beef" with how things transpired. maurice said he talked to both chevy and chipman last summer over his position on the team & if he's the right person. imo if a person of power, a supposed leader has any inkling of moving on, or questioning if they can lead a team or do this - you have to start looking for replacement. it tells me their heart isn't in it anymore, and that's ultimately was led to maurice quitting.
we had about 65% of the season left when maurice quit, and were not out of it by an insurmountable amount of points. in a year where we were hyped to be a contender, & chevy spending nearly ~$10M + draft picks on Schmidt & Dillon, + likely desperate for that PO $$$, he figured the best person to turn the season around was Lowry?.
If Jets didn’t win last 3 games, it would’ve moved them 1 spot from 14th to 13th draft spot behind NYI… regardless of results of game 82 vs Seattle. And if Jets had lost last 3 games plus upcoming game vs Seattle, Jets would lose tiebreaker with CBJ at 12th spot due to regulation wins. So - losing last 4 games of season would only move them one spot.
