Draft Position Thread.

[DomBarr]

I can’t believe the Flames wasted a perfectly good and just Coyotes win by not turtling against the lowly Ducks

 

[Kranix]

I'm not worried. The Rangers moved up 13 spots in 2020 to draft Laf

 

[User1996]

NHL will want talent on the team for a new arena. They’ll rig it in our favour anyways.

Welcome to the club, Macklin.

 

[Potty John]

If anyone is getting a rigged lottery win it will be the newly relocated Utah team.

 

[viper0220]

Yes, 1st or 2nd

Lets pray.

Put my money on #9 now

Put my money on #9 now

Watch the 7th or 8th team win the lottery and us left wondering what could have been - again.
Now if 9th wins it, then it's all 3D chess

 

[Volica]

My god, just don't play yourself out of the top 10 lol.
The most Flames thing in the world would be playing your way into the 11th seed by going on a 4 game win streak to end the season lol.

What do you want people to do in a draft lottery thread?

You can discuss things without cheering for and wishing for losses.

Getting a sense that tank commander Jeff Bezos is leading us through the 1944 Ardennes rather than the 1940 one. A shame.

Talk about winning games and not making the playoffs, I guess

Time to focus on our other 1st round pick then. A regulation win tonight could help pull that out of division winner position and put 3/4 non-division winning teams above it.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Two games left. Probably lose to the Canucks but beat the Sharks. Devils have the tie breaker thankfully so Flames will likely finish 9th. Outside chance at 8th if the Kraken win out or the Flames lose out and the Kraken get at least 1 point.

Should still get a solid player at 8 or 9, but probably miss out on all of Lindstrom, Iginla, Dickenson, Levshunov, and Demidov.

Should be in a position to take maybe a Catton or Silayev.

 

[JPeeper]

Basically need Seattle to win out for a chance to keep 8th overall. Even with a loss tonight, can't see us losing to San Jose again, they're properly awful.

If this season leads to us drafting Silayev (defensive d-man) with our first, I think the season would be a huge failure. I just don't see the value in picking defensive d-man up that high, there upside is so limited.

If he becomes what Colton Parayko was from like 2017-2020 but has a longer prime I think that would be a worthwhile pick at 9. However, I very much doubt that NHL GMs will let a 6'7 mobile DD fall out of the top 6 or so.

Awesome if someone else takes Silayev before us than another good player falls into our range...

edit - better suited for other draft thread.

I think most of the 3-10 guys are roughly even and it's just a matter of preference. As long as we don't reach I can't really complain.
