GDT: NEW YORK RANGERS WIN NHL DRAFT LOTTERY

[RiffyNYR61]

Perhaps. I think Florida is less of a threat to us though, even if they're in our conference. They can't get out of their own way

Only time we’d have to worry about ‘Peg is a cup final. Florida we can run into at any time (playoff format/wild card being what it normally is). I prefer the better pick over worrying about that.

But it’s moot bc I want that top pick!

Best to worst case scenarios:
1. NYR get Laf
2. Minnesota
3. Florida
4. Nashville
5. Canada (in order, Winnipeg, Edmonton/Toronto)
6. Pittsburgh

Should it not be our fate, I will laugh if a Canadian team gets him. Just think of it as a reward for being such amazing hosts and allowing people to enjoy hockey for a couple of months. Eh.

So

Winnipeg getting #1 would at least move nyr from the 11 to the 10 spot. Worthy of #3 imo.

Good point

A reward that comes at our expense? No, screw them

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Is it as simple as this?

12.5% - #1
25% - #10
62.5% - #11

 

[RangersFan1994]

LET'S GO RANGERS. I WILL WEAR THE DRAFT PARTY T-SHIRT TONIGHT. HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE A DRAFT PARTY TONIGHT.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Lets just be thankful that there is no way Laf can end up on the Isles, Devils, or Flyers

but he can end up in Pittsburgh which is just as bad.

I ran 100 sims in a row like a crazy person because yeah (I did this last year too)... This is what I came up with...

Minnesota - 13 wins
Winnipeg - 17, 8 of the last 20 were them
NYR - 19! Including at 69 (nice) and at one point, four times in a row.
Nashville - 6!, including not once until 27 and then they didn't win between 34 and 70.
Florida - 12
Toronto - 11
Edmonton -11
Pitt - 11

Nashville got shafted hard in my simulations. Winnipeg ran really hot late, Rangers never went more than 10 selections with out landing on #1.

Let that good juju carry over.

hated giving away Poddubny
acquiring 2020 Lafreniere will no doubt be a better outcome

Jason Lafreniere Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com
Jason Lafreniere
1988-Aug-01 Traded from Quebec Nordiques with Normand Rochefort to New York Rangers for Bruce Bell, Walt Poddubny, Jari Gronstrand and round 4 pick in the 1989 draft (Eric Dubois)
1988-89 NY Rangers NHL 38 8 16 24

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Getting the #1 pick would be make up big time for how the season ended. Plus, the Rangers very likely won't be picking this high for a long while if they did.

 

[Rangerboy030]

1. Us (obviously)
2. Wild (Gives us #10)
3. Jets (Gives us #10 but they're in a better spot than the Wild)
4. Preds (Western conference and don't have an embarrassment of riches in star forwards)
5. Oilers (Western conference)
6. Panthers (Out of division and have been basement dwellers for a long time)
7. Leafs (Out of division)
8. Penguins (Put me on suicide watch)

 

[Morlu]

If Leafs don’t get him I hope the NYR do. Good luck!

pretty much agree but i'd take Fla sooner than Oil,
we'd get to see him play more often, and,
well, screw the Oil, how many top, top blue-chip guys do they get to audition ....

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

God I hope we win the first pick so there's zero chance they screw it up

 

[NYRangers0723]

Last year I refused to watch the lottery and we actually moved up. I’m gonna try that same thing this year

 

[NYSPORTS]

Big Picture(and selfish), with Covid crushing revenues the NHL needs this kid in NY. This league needs money.

 

[bigdog16]

Do I watch tonights lottery in the same place where I was last year when we landed the #2 pick? Or do I have to change it up. We technically didn't win the lottery last year, but it sure felt like it

i'd rather Pittsburgh win the next 10 lotteries in a row than have the Devils or Islanders win a single one.

Last year I totally forgot about the lottery, I found out about it from this board

 

[Kaapo Hollweg]

Edmonton have had like 4 #1 picks in the last decade. Toronto have had one recently. Pittsburgh basically got three on the bounce. The Rangers have effectively never picked first.

We all know what's going to happen...

That we are finally getting one? (*asks in a childish, naive voice*)

you must be young b/c the Pens have broke our hearts more than the other two combined over the past 30 years

Lol, same. I had completely forgotten about it and only realized the lottery happened when I came on here and saw a poll thread about who the Rangers should take at #2 and quickly jumped out of my seat in excitement.

Maybe I'll try that again this year.
