Specifically from a habs perspective - are you happy with the proposed changes?
To summarize these are the possible paths for us as of today:
1. We beat Pittsburgh Penguins - and qualify for the playoffs. End result - our draft position ends up anywhere from 16 to 31 - depending on how far we go in the playoffs (as it would for any other playoff year)
2. We lose to Pittsburgh - and 1, 2 or 3 of the top 3 picks are awarded to teams who lose the 'play-in'. This gives us a 12.5% chance at that pick (up to 37.5% chance at top 3, if all 3 picks are won by teams 17-24). So - this means we can still end up picking 1st overall, 2nd overall, or third overall.
End result: if we win pick 1, 2 or 3, we pick there. If we don't, we're bumped to 9th, 10th or 11th depending on how many teams pass us in the lotto.
3. We lose to Pittsburgh - but all top 3 picks are won by teams slotted 25-31. We pick 8th overall, as it would have been with no 24 team playoffs.
