GDT: Draft Lottery

[KG]

I thought Reinhart was considered untouchable for BUF.

I can't believe Vancouver torched their city after only losing the Stanley Cup. This is so much more of a just cause.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Well..... ****. Ironically the team who caused the nhl to change the lottery system won the lottery. That's some bulllllll****.

They just got Eichel and they have Girgensons who has emerged as a good player.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

This draft has showed to all us that tanking will never stop no matter what changes you make to the lottery. Maybe it's better to not have lottery at all like the NFL? I know that's the kind of knee jerk response going around on the main board.

I believe he might be.

I thought Reinhart was considered untouchable for BUF.

If he's all he's cracked up to be, I don't see why they'd trade him. They may need to give one up eventually for financial reasons, but in the meantime, they'd have a 1A/1B situation at center that would be hard to beat. Crosby/Malkin- or Datsyuk/Zetterberg-hard to beat.

Fate wins in regulation!

Fate 83 - 0 - 0

So sorry we didn't both take the top 2 yote fans. Here's to hoping you get Hanifin who works even better than Ekblad did for the Panthers. Who knows next year I'm pulling for you guys to get Auston.

No, god please ****ing no. Don't wish that upon us.

Thanks, but we don't particularly need a LHD (at least, not compared to a center), and we won't be bad or lucky enough to get Matthews.

Haha take Strome then, would seriously piss off some leaf fans which is all good for me.

Leafs want Marner.

 

[YOW]

I'm gutted but I am going to believe that the Coyotes are building a good young core .

Today was a kick in the gut but I am going to believe...

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

The worst part is the hockey gods will turn whoever we pick into something we don't want

If we take Strome they'll turn him into Jordan Staal
If we take Hanifin they'll turn him into Bouwmeester
If we take Marner they'll turn him into Jeff Skinner light

 

[Antonche]

Marner or Hanifin. Not Strome. I for Marner.

You'll have to forgive us for operating under the litany of historical evidence to the contrary of this.

We have nothing now besides OEL and lots of cap space. Can't build a winning/interesting team with these scraps and OEL. Maybe the weakest team in all of pro sports.

Here's the thing: Bad luck and bad management don't have to go hand in hand.

The Coyotes need to show fans some muscle off the ice. Spend more money. Make better personnel decisions. Develop top-flight prospects.

Did I say "spend more money"?

Find a way into the playoffs.

Fans don't want to hear "rebuilding" anymore. Give Dave Tippett and Don Maloney a fighting chance.

Calgary, with a low payroll in 2014-15, found its way to the postseason.

Let's see the Coyotes do the same next year.

If the comments section here is an accurate take on the options of those here in the Valley, then the franchise is really screwed.

Bizzaro land when Bickley makes a good article and Bovin has a garbage one. This is the darkest timeline.

 

[Puck possession wins]

187. 1 5 8 14

this damn combination ****ed us over

5-14-6-1 were numbers drawn

 

[Woodhouse]

Sorry, we couldn't help you guys out by winning the lottery.

I don't think this is a repost, but if you're curious, the way the draw went, using vcv's simulator, you were eliminated before the fourth ball, where the team odds (5-14-6-#) were: BUF 27.3%, EDM 18.2%, TOR 36.4%, CAR 9.1%, CBJ 9.1%.
