GDT: 2019 Draft Lottery - Ducks will pick 9th overall

[Static]

The post-lottery mock from the athletic that Stephens participated in has us taking Krebs 9th.

 

[Static]

There is 9 great prospects (literally 9 unless you count Boldy) so it worked out, and everyone always reaches for one so we should have our choice between 2 guys.

Boldy should be counted, he's an excellent prospect. I'd take him above Cozens probably.

Well if ya'll want to be disappointed we were one ball away from winning in both the first overall and second overall draws.

Well it’s like Powerball or whatever. Missing by one is just missing.

But just out of curiosity, did they publish the actual winning sequences somewhere?

Yeah I saw it on Twitter from Hugh Weber. Good news is we weren't a ball away on first overall, but were on second(just one combo of eleven). Philly had like three of 11 on first overall lol.

Accordin to that we end up with turcotte at 9, victory is ours

After watching one of the actual lotteries, I can't agree. It's over in a minute and impossible to follow. I'm also not sure they can drag it out for suspense, they draw a ball every 10 seconds and that might be protocol or something. There's a reason people still believe in these bad conspiracies even though there's actual evidence debunking it. No one's watching those videos.

Publish the lists of everyone’s ball listings ahead of time and slow the balls down and it’s jist like any other raffle. People follow those just fine. All this suffers from is the NHL’s was typically clueless presentation. Other leagues can do it just fine.

I honestly am happy for you if you found it entertaining. I find it like watching paint dry, and so did several people watching with me.

Oh ok awesome thanks. And yeah I see what you mean. Even though we had 3 of the 4 numbers on the draw for first overall, they weren’t drawn in that order. Makes it better lol.

I can see something like this being interesting, actually. You can have a giant keno looking board with all the combos, and with each number drawn you can light up the ones that are still in play. That would create some drama for the teams whose numbers are still alive.

They already do publish the lists! There's 1000 combinations, it's a lot to comb through. And if they are allowed to increase the intervals, it just means it's mostly dead air. It wouldn't be remotely interesting until the 3rd ball is pulled, maybe the 2nd.

I think we can all agree upon Krebs at 9 tbh

There are a thousand possible winners, I dont even think there's a board on earth that can display them in a way people could actually read them.

Sucks our pick went up to 9th but the best thing is LA got screwed out of Kakko

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

I'm not really seeing much from Krebs. Reminds me of another small high skill but average speed center. Giroux lite maybe? Kind of already have that in Steel. Much rather see one of the American centers, Dach, or Broberg

Krebs is a much better skater with more grit. Steel beats him in vision but the high IQs are very similar.

 

[Deuce22]

Hey, let's root for our team to lose a bunch of games on purpose so we can have better lottery odds. Then when we get screwed in the lottery, we can complain that the NHL is rigging it.

Or maybe we could fire a coach who created a toxic environment, ice some of the younger players, and try to create a more positive culture moving towards next year.

 

[Trojans86]

Full aboard the Krebs train....who's hopping on

I'm not quite seeing it. Maybe part of that is from playing on a crap team. Where do you project him?

That presumes that Anaheim doesn't have their own reach

The thing is with that 2nd pick hopefully stayin at 20, i imagine our reach guy is around 15-20... and we can move up from 20 if we really like him

You just make the numbers sequential for each team. It’s not rocket science.

 

[Teemu Salami]

As of now I’m very high on Krebs (as high as #6), i’m just looking forward to the U18 to see how he does.

 

[Fighter]

f*** the Blackhawks and f*** the NHL! The only positive is that the Kings dropped to 5th LOL. Ending up 9th doesn't excite me, there's a 99% possibility all of our most wanted guys (Turcotte, Cozens, Zegras, Dach, Byram) will be gone by then, I guess we can hope in Krebs but I'm not overly excited as I'd be with the others mentioned.

 

[sasha barkov]

Not sure if this means much, but Kreb's brother is 6'4. Maybe he adds an inch or two, although it is very unlikely

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Can we close this thread now and go back to the other one? There was never a reason to even start a second one.
