GDT: Draft lottery thread

[OmniSens]

Absolute joke... I feel bad for you guys... The play in team pretty much getting the 'participation ribbon' for missing the playoffs. Not right at all.

 

[The Zermanator]

Thought it was at 8pm Central time, tuned in an hour late.

WHAT A F**KI*G JOOOOOOKE. Bush. League.

 

[GOZetterberg]

At 4 I would prefer Raymond, but I would understand it if Yzerman went for a dman or Askarov given the lenght of the rebuild ahead.

 

[Lampedampe]

Anyone raging both doesnt understand the reasons that there is a lottery and what it does to prevent it and fails to understands how odds work. How many of you ran your silly little lottery simulators a dozen times to get 1OA? Shouldnt that have given you a hint it was unlikely to happen?

The reality is, it is what it is, you shouldn't abuse the league for a good policy just because we were unlucky, and its time to move on and see what will be available at our pick.

Im sorry but just no, that not how odds work. Yes we had a 51% chance of drafting 4th this draft, so this was the most likely outcome, but the odds of the wings actually dropping 4 years in a rows considering the odds we´ve had is actually unlucky. Im sure if you were to redo the previous 4 lotteries wings end up with better picks 8/10 times especially considering the fashion of which the wings have dropped. I mean dropping from 7 to 9 is actually so insane it shouldnt even be possible.

The NHL just managed to make me Sunday Lions angry.... You should never do that.

Mickey Mouse league, embarrassed by how much I love this product on a night like tonight.

 

[WaW]

This league is a f***ing joke, they have no idea what they're doing. You spent the entire 00s trying to make it so teams dont stay at the bottom for years on end, yet this lottery system does the exact opposite. This lottery just means we'll be at the bottom for 5 more years instead of 3 or 4. We're at the mercy of the 2021 lottery already. That's how dumb this system is.

Trade anyone 25 or older. No use wasting their primes on a team that likely won’t be anywhere near contention before they’re past their primes.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Results?

Expected.

Was going to be pissed if we got 4th anyways (eventhough I 90% expected it), but that a bounced high-end playoff team now has the chance at #1 overall is sickening beyond belief. Hope all high end teams win, even the teams I hate as we don't need Pittsburgh (BARF), Edmonton type teams getting Lafreniere!

 

[aar000n]

I knew they would get screwed like normal

I disagree but I’m also so demoralized they might as well. Can’t get much lower than this.

the whole system was completely illogical

 

[KJoe88]

I usually don’t care where we draft but I’m pretty pissed off.

And I genuinely feel nauseous. I don’t get it.

Agreed we could get a nice piece for Mantha.

 

[Oddbob]

Maybe we can finish dead last and collect 10 4th overalls in a row and be just an ok bubble team, one can hope right!

 

[Omar]

1. Laferniere- TBD
2. Stützle- Kings
3. Byfield- Senators
4. Perfetti-Wings (Saginaw connection)
5. Drysdale- Senators
6-9 Raymond, Rossi, Sanderson, Holtz

Not sure how those last 4 go. Heck Askarov is in there too, but top 5 is almost a lock.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

I think we wind up with Askarov or Sanderson now, this board is going to be sooooo much fun.

 

[billsandsabres]

you guys got hosed. time to change the lottery. here's hoping whoever you take at 4 ends up being a superstar.

 

[Bondurant]

I blame Whataburger. Two years running eating Whataburger on lottery day. Never again.

 

[Retire91]

at least we prepared a lot for who we would take at number 4 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[GreatGordie9]

Montreal will tank in the qualifying round because they have the lowest winning percentage and get Laferniere. The Wings get screwed again.

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

I hate the NHL.

 

[Ulysses31]

Going to try and be positive here.

Watch a Rossi interview. great kid. great playmaker.

Glue him to zadina and it could be the catalyst for zadina to reach his potential.

 

[raymond23]

I think we take Perfetti

 

[JimmySpaetzle]

Sens fan in here... yeah wtf was that can I say. We both got shafted. The two worst teams in the league end up w the 4th and 5th overall picks (if you don’t include the San Jose pick for us)

 

[Dotter]

I think we take Perfetti

His hockey sense is a 6 out of 5. That's amazing.

Skating is 4/5
Competitiveness 4.5/5
Scoring touch 5/5
Shot 3/5
