[Mosby]

Toronto vs. Columbus: Columbus in 5
Pittsburgh vs. Montreal: Pittsburgh in 3
NY Islanders vs. Florida: Islanders in 4
NY Rangers vs. Carolina: Carolina in 4

Vancouver vs. Minnesota: Vancouver in 5
Winnipeg vs. Calgary: Calgary in 4
Edmonton vs. Chicago: Chicago in 5
Arizona vs. Nashville: Arizona in 4

You went 7 for 8. Impressive!

Lafreniere is going to one of those teams. Bank it.

I sure hope not. I’m hoping for Florida. Or I guess the Rangers. Out East and not Pittsburgh or Toronto.

 

[Mosby]

With Tallon out, it's probably best that Florida not win Lafreniere. Don't need that team becoming more appealing to available GMs. So, let's go Rangers.

Right now it's between the Oilers and Nashville.

In part because we're paying already paying two players (Keller and Schmaltz) a notch below Nylander's calibre over $13m a year...but some would have you believe that's juuuuuuuust fine.

Keller I think can get there..... Schmaltz not so much.

Besides.... the other shoe to drop in getting Nylander is Toronto would want a D-man in return and most likely it would be Chychrun.

 

[Schemp]

I didn't say we could. Although if Nylander became available to us, you better believe we would and could make room.

My guess is that Nylander and Hall would be great together on a line.
On the Coyotes Nylander could be the #1 center. To acquire, the 'Yotes need to be very creative to get a d'man for the trade.

You would need a 2nd puck if Hall and Nylander were on a line together.

Welp.

Anyone else think that that NYR draft ball seemed a bit janky?

 

[MIGs Dog]

Sucks for Lafreniere. NY taxes are murder.

It doesn't work that simple.

Relax. Nobody wants to join the Andersen people on the worlds scrap-heap over a draft lotto.

 

[Mosby]

This worked out perfect for AZ.

Are HFboards ever gonna replace that 486 they are running this site on? Man.

Double post.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Lovely feeling to have watched the draft lottery and for once the next relevant thing in the calendar for Coyotes fans is not the actual draft.

 

[rt]

Lafreniere has to be so happy. That really worked out well for him. New York is right on the cusp of taking the next step. Most of those top prospects they’ve accumulated are in the NHL or damn near the NHL. He probably gets to play with Panarin immediately. What a great situation for him.

Especially considering what was likely to happen if not for the season suspension. He’d probably have just ended up in Buffalo or something. Blech.

I just didn't want the lottery to help Toronto, Edmonton, or Pittsburgh get another star player on an ELC to help bail the water from their floundering boats.
Nashville would have been crushing, just because it'd be very Coyotes to win meaningless games to lose 1ov, and fate would ensure that we got swept by Colorado to dub salt in that wound.

I guess I had a 50-50 chance of disappointment. New York is fine. It's great for the league's coffers. Rangers are on the edge of relevance, but not top loaded.

 

[RABBIT]

New York is my East team simply due to the fact that their jerseys are absolutely beautiful, so I’m happy for them and happy he’s out of the West. More specifically, the Central

 

[Mosby]

NYR need to bring back the Liberty jerseys.

What about the Leaf's ball hitting the post twice before falling out?

There's been a shortage of hamsters and hamster wheels......they're working on it.

Forever known as the Tavares ball.

 

[TheLegend]

Forever known as the Tavares ball.

Or Babcock's Revenge.... remember he advocated increasing the goal size.

I thought for sure one of those teams was going to get the first pick just to rub it in our faces a little more. I'm happy that didn't happen.
