GDT: Draft Lottery: Habs Picking Top-3 (Wish for Very Few Whistles in Sharks/Knights Game)

[OldCraig71]

You just know it will be Keith's son.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Fire Bergevin.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Eichel and now Dahlin... Why we can't have Elite players ?

 

[OnTheRun]

I just hope were not dumb and trade it away for immediate help

The pick own more value now than after Doctor Bergevin diagnose an incurable character disease for the player selected.

 

[MaxDummy]

Best player available or need ?

"on vo vouère"

Are you open to trading the pick

"on vo sassouère et voère so"

Transparacy

And Félix Seguin [MOD]"thank you for your great accessibility tonight"

 

[Team_Spirit]

I hate Tkachuk so much and never saw him play ...thx to the experts out here

 

[Habs100]

Not really.

After the first two, guys ranked between #3 and #9 have about the same value. Hopefully, Habs gonna pick the best of them.

The year we drafted Komisarek, what was it 7th or 8th overall, our scouts wanted Mikko Koivu, who went 1 pick earlier. Being able to pick #3 is absolutely better than picking 7th.

 

[TT1]

Tkachuk isn't surpassing Zadina at #3, don't be ridiculous. If Svechnikov drops to #3 you take him, if not you take Zadina. No brainer.

 

[G0bias]

Well Svechnikov could drop to #3..

Really doubt it. He's closer to 1st than Zadina is to him. Carolina won't be going D either, they're already stacked.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I'm not even mad at #3 I'm mad that Bergevin might actually try to take Tkachuk in that spot

 

[1909]

Trade down and pick a CENTER, or trade the pick for one. Zadina is not what we need.

I agree. We need a centerman and a top LD.

 

[Kimota]

Well Svechnikov could drop to #3..

If he's available we keep him, if he's not, we trade the pick.

 

[greyboy67]

Should trade down and take Wahlstrom.

I agree. Wahlstrom, Hughes or Boqvist might turn out to be a better player

 

[Kairi Zaide]

nope

You know you love changing my usernames.

 

[Habs100]

Not really. It’s better but not by much. And Bergevin and his crew can mess it up since the players after the top 2 are so close.

Timmins has done really well in the past. I'm gald he's going to be able to choose the player he wants.

 

[Runner77]

Should trade down and take Wahlstrom.

And get something really valuable for their trouble.

 

[1909]

I'm not even mad at #3 I'm mad that Bergevin might actually try to take Tkachuk in that spot

Can I have a look at your crystal ball.

Timmins is the ONE picking, as usual.

 

[sergejean]

Worse than 4th? Or 7th?

Yes. Because it takes a confident management to deviate from the concensus... much easier to do when you pick 6-7. And I dont believe Zadina will be that great.

 

[OldCraig71]

I'm not even mad at #3 I'm mad that Bergevin might actually try to take Tkachuk in that spot

You know it's going to happen, I am willing to bet it will.

 

[LaP]

Will I have to change my username to Zaidina ???

As long as you keep the avatar pretty such Zadina is not as pleasant to watch lol

 

[Redux91]

Going from possible top 2 to a craps shoot of 4-5 players for 3 .... demoralizing..

just spent the last 2 hours thinking we got Svech, to quote maxwell smart, that is a sucker punch to the gonads

Im glad were in the top 3 n all...but this stings for sure...

 

[SpeedyPotato]

It's supposed to be an awesome top heavy draft, I'm sure the guy we get will be great, but man, I really wanted 1 or 2 as many of you did

 

[Cole Caulifield]

I'm happy for Buffalo. They got screwed over Connor McDavid.

You're happy for B uffalo ? You're quite the sucker then. Sorry to inform you but they willingly tried to throw off games by trading their goalies and starting backups in certain situations. I really don't know how you can't feel sorry for them. A terrible org with terrible objectives which would be better off in another city.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

This thread right now reminds me of this

 

[buddahsmoka1]

Well we had an 80% chance of drafting top 2 coming in. I'd consider that pretty significant. But just like in poker, sometimes the crappy hand gets lucky and wins.

By the way, the odds aren't based on normal distributions or simulations. They're based on probability. You count every possible scenario that can occur and then divide all the scenarios that have Montreal winning by that number to get our odds of winning.

Probability theory is based on the assumption of the law of large numbers.

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Which of the wingers between zadina, svechnikov, or tkachuk will get drafted and miscasted out of position like our last 3rd overall? Time will tell.
