GDT: Game 71 | Senators @ Kings | Road Swing Pt 3: Royal Flush | Wed March 11th 10:30PM | RDS, TSN5

[The Worst One]

I'm betting on Lucic (with Calgary retaining salary if we give them a 2nd rounder) and Brassard as a free agent.

Gross.

 

[DrEasy]

I like tall, slender, dark-haired sheilas.

A Barrhaven specialty!

 

[Frank8]

I shouldn't be staying up this late again but this is probably the last time we see the Sens until next season.

I'm watching from the UK...

I must go there.

What y'all think of coronavirus?

 

[Senscore]

What will you do if he busts?

We already had one first overall French Canadian winger prospect bust. What are the odds it happens twice?

Plus this time we have a back up pick.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

What y'all think of coronavirus?

Things got crazy in a f***ing hurry tonight.

 

[DrEasy]

Tkachuk needs to get 1 more hit and 40 more shots on goal tonight.

The odds are low, but you never know.

I just had a horrible thought. If the rest of the NHL season is cancelled I suspect the draft lottery will be conducted the same way it was done after the strike. All 30 teams would have a shot at the number one pick. All teams could potentially pick anywhere from #1 to #30. I would assume that we'd still have three picks but who knows?

Buddy, this thread is about the tank. There's several other threads meant for off topic coronavirus.

I know, I'm just very friendly today.

Stahp.

I can't see them cancelling the season - especially with only 12 games remaining. Suspending the season seems more plausible. I could potentially see them playing out the remainder of the regular season (with empty arenas, if need be), with playoffs postponed until the threat is quelled.

STL 3 - ANH 2 , end of 2nd period (not that it matters if this is the last game of the season)

Actually the only reason it was done that way back in 2005 was due to the entire 2004-2005 season being cancelled. There was no way to determine the draft order when no games had been played.

We are 10 games off the end of the season at this point and enough games have been played to establish which teams should be picking in the top 10, top 20 and the rest. It would be unfair to give every team equal odds simply because the season was 70 games instead of 82.

 

[Boud]

It's funny you say that because at the trade deadline Dorion said that they'll definitely try to sign some veterans during the next off-season.

What does that mean?

Boro
Tierney
Hainsey


Who knows

 

[Senscore]

The odds are low, but you never know.

All we can do is give our scouts the best chance to draft the player they think is best.

 

[DrEasy]

Guys, don't fight. It's unsanitary.

 

[DrEasy]

How did the Kings end up so low in the standings? They look really good, unlike the Ducks last night.

After the strike they could have based the draft on the standings for the last year games were played which would have been better for the weaker teams. They chose not to. The stronger teams will argue that, having been denied the opportunity to compete for the Stanley Cup, they should not be penalized at draft time for having a good partial season.

As Melgene Eunyk has suggested they may just suspend the season and pick it up later. In this scenario our tank won't have been in vain.

Just win! Very important to end the season on a winning note!
