Last night on home ice was the emotional game .... this game is a jokeI think the whole team will be playing hard for Sharpy's last game.
Because the teams below them have a chance to win a lottery (top 3) pick. So say an Edmonton or a Carolina manages to get lucky and win #2 overall, it' would push the teams in front of them all down.How do the hawks have higher chance to win the 8th than 7th which is the actual spot the finished? That seems not right to me.

I saw Rasmus Dahlin a little during the Junior Tournament earlier this year and he looked good, but he certainly is not a difference maker. At this point in his development, I would rather have at least 50 current NHL defensemen over him. He had 7 goals, 13 assists, 20 points with a +4 in 41 games in the Swedish Hockey League this year. His team, Frolunda finished third out of fourteen teams. He will be 18 on Friday, he is just a kid playing mainly with men, but he is 6.02, 181 pounds and if he is the best player in this years draft, he should stand out in that league. Teammate Matt Donovan had 7 goals, 20 assists, 27 points with a +11 in 52 games, maybe the Blackhawks should sign him, he might be a second pairing defensemen on the Blackhawks.

Maybe, maybe not. He has to develop, he currently is not a game changer. I am thinking about next year, how is this team going to be better.Did you just say Dahlin is not a game changer? This is just incredibly wrong because Dahlin has franchise changing talent.

Dahlin probably will be a very good NHL player but it takes time for a defenseman to develop. It seems to me that people on this site think he is a saviour. This Hawks team had a horrible year, and with long term contracts for declining players, the near term looks bad. If Dahlin actually wound up with the Blackhawks, I think there would be extremely high expectations of him which could not be met for at least five years. Whenever I see Buffalo play I see Rasmus Ristolainen make head scratching decisions, he is still learning after 4 1/2 seasons. Will you give Dahlin that long to develop?
He’s 17 years old. You compared him to Matt Donovan, a grown man who’s been playing professionally for years. I promise you, if he’s allowed to play his game on whatever team gets him, he’ll be a difference maker next year as an 18 year old blue liner.Maybe, maybe not.

Hawks have a 20.4% chance to jump into top 3
Hawks have a 26% chance to pick 7th
Hawks have a 39.5% chance to pick 8th
If you have a 60% chance to pick 1, 40% chance to pick 2, then you have a 100% chance to pick in the top 2. LOLI'm probably wrong, but I don't think that's how probabilities work. They have specific odds to pick 1st, specific odds to pick 2nd, and specific odds to pick 3rd, but the sum of those probabilities =/= their odds of a top 3 pick.
