Predict the Lottery!

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

I wanna see if anyone could get this right. The odds are probably impossible, but it would be insane if someone got it right. Also, if National Hockey League talk is the wrong place to post this on, my apologizes.

I'll go ahead w/ my projections

1. Chicago Blackhawks +6
2. Montreal Canadians +2
3. Ottawa Senators -1
4. Buffalo Sabres -3
5. Arizona Coyotes -2
6. Detroit Red Wings -1
7. Vancouver Canucks -1
8. New York Rangers
9. Edmonton Oilers
10. New York Islanders
11. Carolina Hurricanes
12. (CGY) New York Islanders
13. Dallas Stars
14. (STL) Philadelphia Flyers
15. Florida Panthers

I just think the Hawks are gonna get awarded for their bad season, and will get Dahlin (Although w/ Crawford I think they probably would've been an wild-card team), and Buffalo will be screwed by the lottery once again, but not just dropping 1 spot, but dropping 3 spots. Also, the Habs will move up 2 spots to be able to select Svechnikov, while the Sens move down 1 spot, but will be able to take Zadina. Those are my predictions!

Habs fan thank you for your optimism but many blogs out there are saying Habs are the most likely to get screwed. (based on statistical outcome)

Svech would be a dream come true , not holding my breath however.

 

[I am not exposed]

Edmonton Oilers - 1st overall
(CGY) New York Islanders - 2nd overall
Vancouver Canucks - 3rd overall

Calgary fans suicidal.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Option 1--NYI win with the flames pick and oiler fans chuckle--welcoming the flames to the NYI winning a trade department
Option 2--Oilers win and oiler fans get a big bucket of popcorn and sit back, relax and watch you guys spin out

Well Dallas vaulted up last year so I doubt they'll be as lucky this time around.

I think Buffalo finally gets their top pick, followed by Arizona, and then Detroit.

I could be wrong here, but I believe the odds are like 1 in 2730 to predict it right, which I would label hard but not impossible

 

[boredmale]

I think Buffalo finally gets their top pick, followed by Arizona, and then Detroit.

While I think that would be statistically a safer bet then some others, The chances of all 3 teams being top 5 teams is rather low. odds are some team picking 6-15 will get one of those 3 picks

 

[The Moose is Loose]

1) Arizona
2) Edmonton
3) Senators
4) Buffalo
5) Montreal
6) Detroit
7) Vancouver
8) Blackhawks
9) Rangers
10) Islanders
11) Carolina
12) Islanders
13) Dallas
14) Flyers
15) Panthers

I'd laugh my virtual @$$ off if Edmonton won.
The melt down on SM would be epic.

The only downside would be trying to sift through the 73 HF threads about how it's unfair and the system needs to be rejigged.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

My money is on Detroit

No mater how the lottery goes we will get about 68 threads about why it sucks and/or rigged

Well there's a 1 in 229 chance that it ends up 1. Buffalo, 2. Ottawa, 3. Arizona, so if you wanna be boring that's the best chance you'd have

 

[LordNeverLose]

Wow lol I ran the lottery simulator once and was gonna use those as my picks, and it came up

1. NYI (via CGY)
2. MTL
3. DET

That would be incredible.

 

[Bood12]

1) Arizona
2) Edmonton
3) Senators
4) Buffalo
5) Montreal
6) Detroit
7) Vancouver
8) Blackhawks
9) Rangers
10) Calgary
11) Carolina
12) Calgary
13) Dallas
14) Flyers
15) Panthers

damn so the Islanders are going to trade their Calgary pick back to Calgary along with their own 1st rounder? I am curious who is coming back

and watch the Islanders hit a 10,000-1 odds or whatever and get the #1 and #2 and Tavares is still not going to want to re-sign

 

[HomeAndHome]

1. Buffalo - finally get's their 1st overall
2. Detriot - Just feel like they'll get in the top 3
3. NYI (Calgary's pick) - I would find this very amusing even though I like Calgary

 

[justafan22]

1. Edmonton Oilers
2. Chicago Blackhawks
3. Detroit Red Wings

I feel that those 3 teams as a combination is what would crash hfboards.

However, the other thing I could see to make this site crash would be either Vancouver or Montreal winning #1.

Well there's a 1 in 229 chance that it ends up 1. Buffalo, 2. Ottawa, 3. Arizona, so if you wanna be boring that's the best chance you'd have

I should preference my statement by saying it doesn't factor in the odds of any combination of 3 teams picking 1-2-3, just the amount of combinations of 3 you can make with 15 teams(so my stat basically gives equal chance of 1-2-3 picking 1-2-3 as it does 13-14-15)

Some obviously are a bit more likely to happen then others

Ya. I mean, we get a dozen threads a night because someone slipped and it should've been a suspension.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Rangers haven’t had a #1 pick since 1965

It’s time

 

[fsanford]

Edmonton, just because they went last year without winning it

Everybody else moves down 1 slot.

Which means we get to play another round of "who does peter chiarelli trade off his roster for peanuts"
