Prospect Info: 2020 NHL Draft

[Nico Hischier]

Arizona’s pick will be higher than ours

Arizona gave up 8 goals tonight to the wild after leading the first period 1-0

 

[TBF1972]

From what I heard it's quite deep, maybe even deeper than last year's which was also considered deep. I honestly don't want to be anywhere near the top of this lottery. We have our talent in Hughes, Hischier, Smith, Bratt and MacBlack. We need to win hockey games.

This doesn't make sense. I don't think you can have too much talent.

Hall makes goalie s***.

Bring back Schneider, the curse has been lifted /s

These clowns are going to miss the playoffs and win the lottery with Hall now aren’t they

That would be f***ing hilarious lol

 

[Tretyak 20]

Lol watch us go on a crazy win streak still missing the playoffs but then costing us our low draft pick. I feel like we live in the upside down world. Whatever we think is gonna happen usually the opposite happens.

That's exactly what I expect. This team isn't half as bad as Hynes made them. Plan on picking in the 10-15 range, unless we win a lottery spot.

Only thing that could make us draft lower is either MBW wearing down or Nas continuing Hynes moronic system.

 

[Billdo]

That would be ****ing hilarious lol

I just want them to miss the playoffs, them winning the lottery would suck for us.

It would, unfortunately it’s a real danger with Hall in the fold lol

i agree with what you said but I still think we created too big of a hole to dig out of a top 10 pre lottery pick. This team will surprise teams for the rest of the year though.

There’s no way we’re picking outside of the top #10. We’ll be unloading other players and there’s already a significant gap between us and the 3rd worst team.

We’ll win games here and there but we won’t leap over 12 teams.

 

[Davegarri]

Our next 15 games are pretty rough for us. Good chance we go 5-10 or worse.

Caps 3 times H,A,A
Isles 2 times H,A
Leafs 2 times H,A
CBJ 2 times H,A
vs Boston
vs Avs
vs Bolts
@ Rags

Then we have road games @ the Sens and Hawks

It gives us a shot at an unprotected 1st in the 2021 draft

 

[Blackjack]

I think the best realistic outcome is a very high non-top-three pick. Like 5th or 6th overall. For us to get a top 3 pick in 2021 they would need to win the lottery twice.

Woof

 

[135ace]

As others have pointed out we have one of the hardest remaining schedules out of most teams. I doubt we climb out of the hole we're in as we've already dug quite a deep one. Maybe we end up 5th from the bottom instead of in the bottom 2, but we're going to be picking 6-8OA regardless.

Woof

I aint afraid

Team has looked worlds better the least two weeks and still has a lot of room to improve. They aren't making the playoffs, but they should win games.

Mostly Blackwood if you ask me. Took him a little while to get the Cory stench of putrid garbage off himself, but now that we've banished the cancerous ginger turd MB29 has really started to shine.

I sure hope not. Intentionally tanking again by selling is a great recipe for another 5 years of being a bottom 5 franchise.

Big saves in big moments turn into scoring chances for us going the other way. Basically the opposite of how it went for a while there, especially with blackwood not in net (Louis Domingue against the Sabres).

Getting rid of Cory and Hynes signified a major culture change. Both of them were big-time losers who were infecting the team with their utter contentment with how awful they were. Nas may not be much better than Hynes, but at least he doesn't have his stupid "we tried hard" so results don't matter mentality.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

We’re more than likely coming out of the draft with either the top winger, center, defenseman, or goalie (Lafreniere, Byfield, Drysdale, or Askarov).

I mean yeah it does BUT what if they don't suck again and it's even later than this years? It would just be another thing for people to bitch about.

Cory wasn't content with sucking. You saw in interviews how f***ed he was over being so bad.

 

[NJDevs26]

I don’t think a crazy win streak is coming unless Nas magically figures out how to use the Delorean and get Norris level PK back from the past, then figures out how to get more scoring in a post-Hall world.

I do think results will improve enough to get in the 6-10 range, just high enough for the angst we’re outside a draft tier.
