He wasn't your typical flyer pick. His dad played in the NHL for some time. Sarnia owned by 2 NHL guys certainly didn't hurt things.
Appeals board kept the fine and GM 2 yr suspension but gave back the Dogs first round pick last July
..... Either way he is done with playing right now.
Sounds similar to what I heard.I am hearing from my sources that Zito's exit was non dramatic. I have been told that Zito informed management that he has some personal issues to deal with back home. That he has kinda lost the love of the game. Wants to go to school and focus on that. My information may not be as dramatically entertaining compared to others information, so choose what you want to believe
Don't understamd the last part. Are you saying last place always picks 1st or 2nd? Is the lottery only for the first place spot, then 2 through 4 are just the order they finished?
It went that way last year but in 2022 it didn't. Unless they changed the rules.
With the percentages, not impossible that the first two picks go to the teams with 20% and 10% however improbable.
Not even sure the last time a GM was fired in the OHL? With the long standing relationship Bowler has had with the ownership group I see dismal as highly unlikely. Now coaching changes have to be in order. Next year has to be a fresh start with a quality coaching staff. This is a must. Be safe.
Ok, thanks.
I reread my post and it is confusing as hell lol. 2022 was equal 25% odds for each of the 4 non playoff teams since it not necessarily the worst 4 in points overall but usually is. They weighted it 40,30,20,10 last year and assume that is how it will be this year as well. Niagara hasn't won the draft lottery yet despite finishing last place both years. It is a random number generator draw. So think of 10 bingo balls in the drum with 4 balls, 3 balls,2 &1 ball for the respected teams. The 20th place team has a 60% chance of NOT winning 1st overall but has 70% chance of picking 1st or second and 90% of picking top 3. Still 10% chance of still picking 4th.
