Tough schedule down the stretch in terms of who we play. Got a California trip coming up and despite having a good record at home, have to play some good teams here in March.

Top 5 pick. Is it possible to screw it up?..

Of course.

Finish 3rd worst, which is probably the best case scenario. But really that is the 4th pick, but then get bumped the maximum 3 spots to 7th.

Knew this picture would show up here after seeing it on reddit a week or 2 ago, awesome

It's the 3rd pick. It's tied with vegas to have the third pick

We should just fold if this happens.

 

[scorvat53]

my problem with the tank is that when benning has a high pick he blows it. He just refuses to draft high upside skilled players always size over skill

 

[Knight53]

Only 9 points behind the yotes. Could honestly see it happening.

That's why we need to tank so hard he's not around to make the pick

I love how you said behind

 

[Zombotron]

Bring it the **** on.

Rasmussen isn't projected to go anywhere near the top 5. Think we're good.

They're pretty much guaranteed to be trading Hanzal and Vrbata, two of their top three forwards. I'm not as optimistic as you.

**** gets confusing man

 

[scorvat53]

I predict he goes off the board @ number 4

To be fair, that really only applies to 2015. Last season I very much doubt size had any impact on Joulevi over Tkachuk considering Olli is listed 6'2 180 and Tkachuk at 6'1 195 (according to HockeyDB).

 

[Captain Bowie]

It's the 3rd pick. It's tied with vegas to have the third pick

So if three teams outside the top 3 get picked for the top 3 picks, who gets picks #6/7?

 

[Knight53]

Lowest Vegas can finish is 6th.

Vegas has the same odds as the 3rd Worst team. If the Canucks finish 28th and Vegas and the nucks both drop 3 spots we would be drafting 7th.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

Worst case scenario IMO.

Canucks finish 28th and then

1. Winnipeg
2. Buffalo
3. Los Angeles/Calgary
4. Vegas
5. Colorado
6. Arizona
7. Vancouver

Seeing Winnipeg and Calgary infront of us would **** me off so much.
