Think I'd still prefer to win the playin roundIf the Rangers win the play-in round but lose in the first round of the playoffs their pick would be somewhere between 16-21
The only way they get a pick in the 11-15 range at that point would be Toronto also losing in the play-in round
If the Rangers lose, depending on who else loses, they could pick anywhere between 9 and I think 14
Every play-in loser has an equal chance at 1OA. 12.5%. No more, no less. Even if the season is cancelled. 12.5% chance.Can someone explain why we have such a good chance if we lose but the Leafs and Canes don't? Yesterday from reading that thread that's what it sounded like.

they were probably referring to the scenario in which we could advance and still get a top pick because it would have required both toronto and carolina to jump into the top 3
At the risk of being repetitive...This is that rare time of a rebuild where everything is win-win
Toronto had something similar in Matthews first year, they saw improvement in play and made the playoffs. They pushed Washington to a competitive series....all that was just gravy, they would have been equally ok with just missing the playoffs after such an exciting year
I feel that way about this year...Panarin and Zib going off, young studs like Igor and Fox coming through, playing exciting hockey....hell if we beat Carolina great, if we don't, then we get a lottery pick, also great
I'm loving this time as a Rangers fan
Winning 1OAJust answer this question.What is more likely ?
Winning the cup so that is 5 rounds or winning a 1 in 8 chance at the first overall pick ?
I wonder if we'll ever get to the point where some fans aren't hoping the team loses because....just one more great player, or whatever.

that will happen when the team is good enough to actually compete...its coming, we aren't there yet.
All fans want their teams to win... But I would be pissed if we lost in the cup finals... Or lost in the ecf... Or lost in the qf.. etc
Losing in the play in is step 1 in a 2 step process to "winning".
Or
Winning the play in is just step 1 in a brutal arduous highly u likely chain of events needed to make us happy
I'd prefer us to lose.
Adding a guy like lafreniere to a team with Mika, panarin, shesterkin, and kakko should all but guarantee us a decade of fun and competitive hockey.
This will be the last year I root for us to lose.
Lafreniere playing with panarin...oh hell yeah.
Sell the future? How about a 12.5% CHANCE at a playerYeah, it’s like, have some damn patience. I wonder if we will ever get to the point that Ranger fans aren’t clamoring to sell the future to win a whole fricking playoff round.
It's more than just this yearJust a quick FYI: I see some people bring up our 4-0 record this season against the Hurricanes but the Capitals also were 4-0 in the regular season last year and lost to the Hurricanes in 7 games anyway
No, we have the worst of Carolina's and Toronto's.How can we not do both again? I thought each team that loses the play in has a 12.5% chance? We have Carolinas pick, so no matter what we have the first of the team that loses our play in round, no?
