Speculation: All-encompassing Draft Thread

[The Greatest 101]

With the 15th pick, there’s chance we get Rossi. We will see Rossi interviewing Rossi in the future!

I think the Penguins probably end up giving up pick #15 if that's where the pick falls. JR will be scared that 2020's pick will be higher, and I can't exactly fault him for that fear

Which one is more likely to mispronounce the other's name?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

These are the last several players drafted at #15 overall.

2008 Erik Karlsson
2009 Holland
2010 Forbert
2011 J.T. Miller
2012 Ceci
2013 Pulock
2014 Larkin
2015 Senyshyn
2016 Kunin
2017 Brannstrom
2018 Denisenko
2019 Caufield

And in the last notably deep draft in 2015,

#16 Mathew Barzal
#17 Kyle Connor
#18 Thomas Chabot
#22 Ilya Samsonov
#23 Brock Boeser
#24 Travis Konecny
#35 Sebastian Aho


Really you’d have to go back and look at players taken around 15OA instead of at 15OA.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Realistically, I hope the Pens get a little luck and can pick around 10. Anton Lundell would be a great get.

He was ours...

yeah, I kind of did that for myself. Just thought it would be kind of informative to share the caliber of players drafted at exactly 15. There obviously have been a lot of busts drafted higher too.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I know they won the cup with Hagelin and used Perron to get him but it still hurts. Barzal, Chabot or I guess a reach with Aho.

Dumoulin-Letang
Chabot-Marino

I am fairly sure that it is either number 1 or 15.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

As an aside, do they know who won, or is there a new drawing on Monday with everyone with an equal chance?

Because Pittsburgh only had a 4.7% chance initially, about a third of the 12.5% chance everyone keeps talking about.

Because how it keeps being talked about it sounds like a new drawing, everyone equal, on Monday.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

I am fairly sure that it is either number 1 or 15.

This is 100% fact. We finished with the most points of the play-in teams so we are either #1 or #15

 

[Turin]

Every team who is eliminated gets a 12.5 chance.

 

[dogthateats]

Speaking of that Barzal pick, it is crazy the value that the Islanders got for Griffin Reinhart. 16th and 33rd picks.

GREAT year then to crap the bed in the playoffs.

they redid it..all of the eight teams have the same 12.5% chance now

 

[66-30-33]

What about teams that did not make it to the playoff tryouts? Wings, Sabres, LA, etc.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

What about teams that did not make it to the playoff tryouts? Wings, Sabres, LA, etc.

They have 2 through 9.

 

[66-30-33]

They have 2 through 9.

Ah, well that sucks for them they are not able to pick Laffy.

 

[The Greatest 101]

12.5 is actually much higher than I thought. If we do win, are we going to move Zucker to RW or trade him for a natural RW for Crosby?

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Ah, well that sucks for them they are not able to pick Laffy.

They lost that right in the first round, when they had by far the best percentage chance.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

12.5% chance? That's almost a one in eight shot!

(yes, I know it's exactly that)

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Ah gotcha. I think a lot depends on how confident you are about this draft, tbh. I’ll do a few years

I’m sure I missed some, but that’s the gist of it. A few above 15th and quite a few under it to paint a picture.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Edmonton joins the Lafreniere lottery.

 

[Turin]

Edmonton and Toronto would be dreadful. They don’t deserve to be rewarded for their mismanagement.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Edmonton joins the Lafreniere lottery.

The NHL would hate the Pens winning it more.

They know that Edmonton would just blow the pick anyways.
