Dahlin

Probably let the lottery play out first.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Change this to Rangers have 8th best odds plz

 

[NYR]

Watch 10th get the 1st lol

 

[YoSoyLalo]

There’s a better chance of the Rangers getting Dahlin than me catching a Salamence in Pokémon moon

Yet I did it

1st overall confirmed

I hope we end up with a scoring winger in this 2018 draft even though we need defense. So more likely we end up with either Dahlin or Boqvist and that do not sounds bad at all, but another year without a sniper on this team starting to get really frustrating even though Kevin and DeAngelo is back at the blueline, but I`ve notion that Kevin is gone in the summer window as @Ola mentioned.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

20% odds. Very good odds. Also high odds we move up to 9, heck even 10. So whatever happens we need to hope we either move up to top 3 or that we do pick 8th.

1/5 chance we win the lottery.

Hmm..this isn't confirmed by any means...silly title.

I think it goes without saying that this is assuming there isn’t a trade involving our 1sts.

It is the most likely scenario to occur. Would you have felt better if I put "[conditional]" at the end? Or "[likely]" somewhere?

I included all the additional information in the top post as well. The point was to not make the title too confusing or needlessly long. The posters here clearly get the gist and it hasn't misled anyone - in fact, the only negative effect so far is the one or two posters have littered the first page with tedious complaints rather than discussion haha

Hmm, how about, "Rangers have the 8th best chance to win the lottery"?

 

[Bob Richards]

I'm so new to this lottery thing. I'm normally used to them awarding money or death by stoning.

Sure, that could be slightly better - but good job, you seem to understand the topic despite the horrific title, happy you figured it out despite the obvious confusion.

This season has felt like death by stoning.

It's cool. You f***ed up on the title. Own it.


You say "Rangers will be selecting 8th overall" in the title, even though there is a 60+% chance we won't

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Dahlin

This is the only answer.

 

[bl02]

typical Ranger luck would have been for this team to draft 10th or even 9th but we got ourselves in a very good spot to grab a top d man. things are changing with the future and for the good. June 22nd is gonna be a big day for the future

 

[Alluckks]

It's cool. You ****ed up on the title. Own it.


You say "Rangers will be selecting 8th overall" in the title, then go on to say there is a 60+% chance we won't

"The Rangers will be selecting 8th Overall in the 2018 Draft... barring any changes via the lottery."

 

[The Crypto Guy]

"The Rangers will be selecting 8th Overall in the 2018 Draft... barring any changes via the lottery."

That's not what your title says.

Yo, relax.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Yo, relax.

Cant you change the title? it's completely inaccurate.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Blows my mind that after this disaster of a season we still have a higher pick than last draft (as the dominos have currently fallen).

The grass is always greener.

 

[Alluckks]

That's not what your title says.

You seemed to fill in the blank fine lol think of it like a brain exercise. You passed! Congrats!

Anyway, assuming we stay at 8th, who are you hoping falls to us?

And which of Svechnikov or Zadina would you like if we hoped into #2 or #3?
