2 years in a row dropping 3 spots... as a Canuck fan it can only go up from here right?

canucks didn't drop 3 in 2016. Doubt it will happen again, can't imagine 3 teams before us winning the lottery that means all 6 teams drop 3 spots.

 

[Gnashville]

Chicago, NYR, and Detroit are almost guaranteed the top 3 spots.

I'm starting to hate the system. Habs are not in a good spot at 4th.We need a lot of luck just to stay at 4th.

Forgetting about the odds for first for a second, the Montreal Canadiens have only a 2.8% chance to stay at fourth but a 26.1% and 34% chance to drop to fifth and sixth respectively.

 

[PucksOnNet]

Oilers fan I'm assuming?

You can't just ignore your 28.8% chance of picking top 3

I can not speak for all oiler fans but I am hoping nyi win with the flames pick


Why?

Just because.

However. If the oilers win the lotto I will make sure I have enough popcorn to experience the meltdown here

The other day I did that tankathon simulation and on my first hit I got the Isles one and Isles three with CGY pick.

That'd be nice

How to put an organization back on track in a single day!

And if that doesn't convince Tavares to stay after all, I don't know what can

The Isles aren't that lucky, we could really use an 'Uncle Gary' though. Getting #1 and Dahlin would be huge, a gamechanger for a franchise mired in 6 layers of crap.

I just ran it about 15 times and had buffalo top 3 only twice

Not much info I have seen about this yet, goes this Saturday, usually in the first intermission of the featured EST game from what I remember, anyone have anymore details?

They're probably waiting for the Boston/Toronto series to wrap up so they can officially announce the schedule. I'd expect an official press release about the lottery drawing on Thursday.

But it'll probably be like last year. For the folks up in Canada, you'll get lottery/pregame coverage at 7:30pm EST with the reveal around 8pm (for those in the US, NBC will probably start with the reveal). Then puck drop for the Hockey Night in Canada game around 8:20pm.

As a Sabres fan, it can definitely always get worse.

Isles deserve a lottery win with Tavares set to leave. So rarely in the NHL does a team's franchise player decide to test UFA and sign elsewhere, at the young age of 27 years old.

Which is why Rasmus Dahlin will be a proud member of the New York Rangers. Because.

Dont worry, Chiarelli will trade Dahlin to the islanders in 3 years when he cant afford to extend him for Pulock or something,

You can't just ignore your 28.8% chance of picking top 3

It's not a 28.8 % chance at picking a top 3. You don't add all those % together. We have a 9,5 % chance of picking a top 3.

No, we have 9.5% of winning the 1st overall.

If we don't win the 1st overall, we'll have even higher odds to win the 2nd overall.

And then even higher odds to win 3rd overall.

Cumulatively, we have over 30% chance of picking in the top 3. It's impossible to know the odds for sure because it depends on who would hypothetically win the first two picks.

Come on now. I'll cut you some slack if you're a kid yet to take all your math classes otherwise you should know better that yes you add up the odds for each outcome and your odds of one of that subset is in fact that total (28.8% of getting a top 3 pick for the Canadiens)

Sigh: On to the Next Round: Sportsnet’s Coverage of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs Continues with Second Round Action | Sportsnet Media Centre

For fans with a vested interest in teams outside the playoff picture, Sportsnet presents the 2018 NHL Draft Lottery on Saturday, April 28 on Sportsnet, CBC and Sportsnet NOW. The NHL Draft Lottery special, hosted by Daren Millard and NBC’s Kathryn Tappen, will unveil the lottery results through the course of the evening. Picks 15 through 4 will be revealed during Hockey Central Saturday beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT, with the top three picks unveiled during the second intermission of the San Jose vs. Vegas game.

I guess that's one way to keep a Canadian audience watching.
