GDT: Jets @ Draft Lottery • Sat Apr 30, 7PM [Jets win 2nd overall!]

[Whileee]

Off to board a plane - Lottery will be over when I land. Should be interesting to see the reaction here. Either completely bonkers elation, or bitter gnashing of teeth and railing at everyone in the Jets organization for failing to tank properly.

Enjoy...

You're missing aprx 20

Dam... listed by teams... so excited I missed it... well I will never get that hour back but its ok for we will win in the top three!

 

[barrywpg]

I hope they announce it as third pick, then second, then FIRST

If so, would you cheer if Jets get third pick,
or boo because that means they can't get first?

Definitely cheer.

It will actually be announced

Fourteen....thirteen...twelve..etc

After the fourth announcement do they announce number 1 ?

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

Go Jerts!

 

[Aavco Cup]

After the fourth announcement do they announce number 1 ?

No, but if they announce New Jersey as the 14th pick, we'll know the three winners are Boston Carolina and Ottawa and we'll also know the Jets pick 9th. It could all be over in the first minute.

I was thinking about that this morning, how sad I'll be if NJ gets called as the first ball at #14.

All of the real trade talk can start after tonight!

 

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

New Jersey is going to win the # 1 draft spot. I told you guys we should have signed Stepniuk as a Free Agent last summer.

Draft lottery GDT! love it!

Chevy better get it done, he's already on Sip notice!

number one goes to the Leafs or Coyotes, just way the NHL wants it!

Of course Burmi will me MIA!

If we do fall to #9 we would be extremely unlucky but so would all the 6 worst teams. Could we still get PLD at #9? Here's how.

1. ? Mathews
2. ? Laine
3. ? Pulj
4. Leafs Tkachuk (future winger for Marner)
5. Oilers Chychrun (need D)
6. Canucks Fanbro (need D best RHD available)
7. Blue Jackets Keller (american pedigree)
8. Flames Juolevi (just a feeling)
9. Jets PLD(Chevy grin inserted here)

This Fanbro guy sounds like a real ******. But very appropriate he gets drafted by the Canucks though.

 

[ComplexChris]

Ran it last night.

 

[sipowicz]

I'm hearing rumblings that Laine may bet better than Matthews, any validity?


Selanne didn't get chosen until #10 in his draft year and turned out to be the best player drafted that year, incidentally a guy name Kevin Cheveldayoff went at #16 in the first round in the very same draft, never played in the NHL, but it's a process!

Here's hoping the Jets draft a Finn!

 

[SCP Guy]

I would love to see the **** eating grin on Chevys face if we land in the top 3.....but my guess is 8th

 

[drumzan]

I ran that new simulator 4 times. Leafs won every time. So I quit. LOL...

Don't jinx it!

I really hope they don't announce it in that manner. What they did last year was
start with the 14th team and show a card telling they did or didn't get the first pick.
Of course with only 1st up for grabs you knew they drafted 14th if not first. Then down the line until Edmonton got the gold card.

With 3 picks up I would like to see them say
"We're revealing the 3rd pick" - And then to to Boston and say no
then onto Carolina and say and so on until, for example they got to Arizona and
said -Arizona drafts Third.
We'd then know the Jets could draft 1st,2nd, 7th, 8th or 9 th.
No spoilers this way.

Then do the same with the second pick.

And finally for the most drama (well, except for teams that got 2nd & 3rd pick)
get to the First overall. Revealing from Boston down the line until someone gets
the first pick.

I don't feel we have a shot at winning this to be honest

I hope Chevy is at the casino playing Keno to prepare for this lottery draft.
