They could only move up to 2nd from 5th spot if they win the lottery.....a team can only move 4 positions (ie.to 3 positions ahead of its own)....Malkin might be their choice at #2 if they won the lotto........that would upset me greatly......I'm hoping my Blackhawks are at least #2 after the lotto --I'd hope they take Malkin (I'm actually wondering about taking him over Ovechkin even if they won the lotto and drafted #1)............I'm sure CBJ would want to go for Barker so they might jockey down a bit from #1 or #2 in return for an additional pick from the #3,or #4 slotted team ---anyway it will be interesting in the pre-lotto finishes of these bottom -feeders......Can PIT continue its hot steark and reel in the others to climb past last? Can CHI avoid climbing out of the bottom 4? CBJ doesn't look like it can win any more games........WASH +CHI have a "4 pointer" on the line in tonight's contest of the "TANKERS" (they probably will battle for the #3 and #4 pre-lotto spots unless one of them climbs past the sinking NYR........To get Malkin at #2 ,CHI might need to give CBJ one of its 4 2nd rounders to get them to move down 1-2 spots......so if NYR gets into the bottom 4 and CHI climbs to #5 and stays there after lotto---THAT wouldn't be a disaster ---Olesz or Radulov would be good "consolation prizes" --but if a team after #5 pre-lotto won it,bumping my Hawks to 6th --now then that would be a disaster,missing out on any of these top 5 which are the cream of this year's crop...
