2019 Draft Thread: We Already Got a Kaapo

[57special]

The lottery has always been this early.

It was moved up by request of the teams so they could have more time to get their HW done for their respective spot.

 

[TaLoN]

No, it’s usually later in the month

Sorry, my bad, yes it used to be two weeks later.

Meh, 2 weeks isn't a huge change. Don't see how it has all that big of an impact since it was still so early in the playoffs before.

It’s game day!

I did the draft sim once. The Wild ended up with the 14 oa pick. AZ, FLA, MTL went 1-2-3.

Down goes brown is giving us some love in his lottery predictions, “5. Minnesota Wild – They’re not getting the top choice, but winning the third-overall pick in a lottery you’d forgot they were even in would be an extremely Minnesota Wild thing for them to do.”

Atleast I think that’s love.

what time is the draft lotto and when will we know the outcome?

As long as no one behind us jumps us I'll call it a win.

You jinxing Bastard!

I'm not worried. We've got this locked up. Welcome to Minnesota, Jacko Hakko

I read today that the Avs have the best chance in the lottery thanks to the Duschene trade to Ottawa. Damn, making the playoffs AND getting the #1 overall? Might be a while before the Wild overtake them.

Yup, unfair.

(Not really, but it sucks)

they could pick 4th and we get 1st. wishful thinking!

Expecting the best, preparing (emotionally) for the worst.

Well, the worst really isn't the worst. Maybe I should prepare emotionally for the best case scenario, so I don't die of a heart attack if we do win the lotto?

 

[Dangle Jax]

Tiny Cole please.... please don't overthink it

 

[keppel146]

We need to start making trades with really bad teams to get their 1sts! Not fair avs.. so lucky.

Just need to win the lottery this year, then draft a player in the top 3 that ends up underachieving, then get lucky that a dumb GM wants that player.

 

[W75]

I have a strong feeling Wild will get the 1st overall this year.


And then GMPF chooses some Metahexa Decimaljevksy guy from Absurdistan's Hockey League. And that's like it, to the next one.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Wouldn’t it be just the most Minnesota thing ever to win the 3rd selection and draft a player who is worse than the player taken at 11th?

even if he wanted to do such a drastic thing as you stated, he would pick hughes or be fired. i dont think leo would allow anyone besides hughes to be picked.

I’m pretty sure some people have Kakko right up next to Hughes so it wouldn’t shock me if he went 1st overall.

The most Minnesota thing ever would be to end up 14th after the lottery in the first place.

 

[TaLoN]

Man, Hughes needs to put some meat on his bones, he looks like he'd get killed on an NHL rink

 

[TaLoN]

And we pick.... 12th.
