Just excited about the Celebrini sweepstakes. T-minus 3 days until we find out!

I have this horrible gut feeling Chicago or Utah wins 1st Ov.

7, 7, 7, 6, 6, 5, 7, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 7, 2, 7, 6, 1.

Well. Tankathon really put things into perspective for me. I’ll be happy with #5.

Same as last season. Felt like a gift not dropping

 

[Habssince89]

We got Price. Wasn't bad either. Instead of Price playing behind the likes of Gustafson and John Merrel, you'd have Crosby play with Anderson and Gallagher. Pick your poison.

Would be a lot easier to convince guys to sign to play with Crosby, even with taxes etc

 

[Nicko999]

Dach and Arbs are no different, so do we trade them too? They are broken, busted and fragile

Well one of the reason Dach was made available in the first place was his lack of durability.
Xhekaj has durability issues as well although not too surprising with his style of play.
And I am not saying we need to trade them. Unless the right offers comes, I wouldn't.

Hmmm….

I think Crosby would have brought a cup anywhere he went

 

[Canadienna]

Hmmm….

They've accidentally leaked this stuff before.

If that's real these guys are total clowns.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Hmmm….

It's fake. They don't do the lottery until 90 minutes before the show. It hasn't been done yet. It should start 5 pm-ish.

 

[JianYang]

Nah, Matthews and Marner just don't have another gear.

Nylander is a baller and that's why there's never questions of him producing when it counts.

Marner is a wallflower.

There's certain things you can't teach, and teaching someone to not be perimeter, to go up another level, to do things when it's tough to do so, just isn't one.. it's an innate quality.

Agreed about Nylander.

I've grown to appreciate him over the last few years. I have no question marks about him when it comes to the playoffs.

 

[sampollock]

I’m betting on 2nd overall

would be ok

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It was leaked last year for Chicago.

During the live show due to an open mic. It wasn't leaked beforehand.

 

[Sterling Archer]

We all have to send out positive vibes at 5:30 when they do the lottery.

We all need to Kumbaya this shit!

 

[Rapala]

Dropping to 7th would seemingly be a disaster. Obviously we’d all be pissed. On the bright side though, this may be the most unpredictable top 10 ever. A scout was quoted as saying in his 35 years of working around the draft and talking to teams, he has never seen as much variation in top of the draft rankings as this year.

We could technically drop to 7 and still come away with a Lindstrom, Catton or Iginla..especially if the teams ahead of us are enamoured with the plethora of top defensemen.

The scouts are all lying.

It's fake. They don't do the lottery until 90 minutes before the show. It hasn't been done yet. It should start 5 pm-ish.

The fix is in conspiracy theory would run rampant if this ever came off.
The NHL would never live it down.

 

[MrNasty]

from what i understand, the lottery is already done and audited, the TV part is just ratings and drama and is not a real event. They have to have it audited by KPMG or whoever before verifying the lottery.

[McGuires Corndog]

Watch us get the 2nd pick and select Silayev, this board would literally implode.

HAHAHAH YUP

I realize that, but you can bet the lottery has already been done behind the scenes.

 

[morhilane]

Well, my thing tonight that was stopping me from watching the draw was cancelled!

Lets all watch this board die under the load tonight!

 

[Rapala]

Ooh, maths, fun!

Both events (1st and 2nd lottery) are not independent because once SJS wins the 1st spot, they can't win the 2nd spot.
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B|A) i.e. the probability of A times the probability of "B happening if A has occurred".

I think that translates to 25.5% * 7.7%/(100%-25.5%) = 2.636%

Okay now tell me about that Calgary pick.

 

[Whitesnake]

I’m betting on 2nd overall

I'm predicting 6th.

 

[sheed36]

The tin foil hats will surely be coming out if Daly flips over the 6th pick card and it's the Habs logo (which I expect) and Utah moves up.

Daly: The 6th pick in the 2024 NHL draft belongs to............. The Montreal Canadiens.

Take cover NHL.

 

[sampollock]

Just for information regarding the NHL draft lottery the image circulating at the moment is that of a rehearsal. The official drawing takes place at 5:45 p.m. ET, and the broadcast takes place at 6:30 p.m. ET. » - David Pagnotta

1. Chicago
2. Utah

it's inevitable

 

[DiglettDangles]

Okay now tell me about that Calgary pick.

No one likes math THAT much brother

 

[sheed36]

1. Chicago
2. Utah

it's inevitable

Very likely sadly.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hmmm….

No point in watching. Didn't it get leaked last year, too?
