Once the first three balls came out 12-4-2, the Devils had a 36 per cent shot at No. 1 pick on the final ball (four of the 11 remaining possible combos). The Flyers also had three, while the Canucks, Kings, Avalanche and Rangers were all still alive as the final ball was plucked.

One ball away once again!

Benning Bros should be stoked on this result. Whoever we pick likely won’t play next season. So we’ll have a better chance at Lafreniere! If we had drafted someone like Hughes/Kakko then we wouldn’t have had as good a shot at lottery pick next year.
While that is one way of looking at it. With one of those 2 in the fold it probably changes the free agency strategy and avoids JB giving term to someone trying to save his job:
Lottery pick scenario:
Baertschi-Petersson-Boeser
Pearson-Horvat-Hughes/Kakko

Scenario now:
Baertschi-Petersson-Boeser
Pearson-Horvat-UFA on 7 year term (Simmonds/Ferlund etc.)

This doesn’t make sense. Benning Bros were the team playoffs this year. They are the one pumping the tires for playoff next year based strictly on internal growth with little additions.

I think Im starting to come around to this opinion DJ

I mean everyone saw Johnny Hockey and Debincat light up the league, then there were a lotta questions about Hughes cause being a dman is different, but he has seemed to smash those fears. So if Caulfield is as talented as he is, should be a no brainer if he is still onboard at 10. If he was 6 feet tall even, hed be easy breasy top 3 maybe even talk of 1
Ignore the fact that neither were Top10 picks in their draft. But go ahead, with your agenda.

“If we drafted Tkachuk then we wouldn’t have gotten Pettersson.”
