I think Clark is going to determine his own fate by retiring soon.
And Clark.
This team is actually in a pretty unique position. They have players like Hayes, Zuccarello, Kreider, McQuaid, Namestnikov, Spooner and others who should interest other teams. This isn't Edmonton where they had nothing to sell for years.
I'd be in favor of Gorton working the phones early to trade 1-2 guys and open up some playing time for guys like Chytil and ADA. Get in front of the deadline and give more minutes to other guys leading up to February when there will be more teams looking to buy in desperation.
Thought it was Ernst & Young that oversaw the lotteryI think PWC is involved and despite their **** up at the Oscars they are a well-respected company. Also, there's a video of the draft lottery available right after it concludes where you can see which balls are drawn etc. There is no conspiracy
Yeah, I dunno. I'm a little down on what the Rangers could acquire with any of those players. I'm not even so sure they'll be able to get any roster players that could make an immediate impact. They seem destined for a 1st rounder from a playoff team, and B level prospects in the best of scenarios.
Thanks. Yeah I had the wrong year for Kreider. The 2010 lottery had no change from the standings - teams picked exactly as they finished (with us at 10th OA)
I think Clark is going to determine his own fate by retiring soon.
I don't think its a conspiracy. I just think the Rangers are unlucky.
Day is the type of kid that you use a 3rd rounder on all day. Boom/bust.
Hopefully next year we do the same thing. We will likely get a great player between 1-5. Use one or two other 1sts/2nds on safe upside picks and then go for the home run swings with 3rd round and on. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don't.
Hopefully we get a 1st for Hayes, a 1st for Zucc and a 2nd for McQuaid. If Tampa wins the cup we have four 1st rounders. If they don't we have three 1sts and two 2nds.
Swing away Jeff and Gordie. Swing away.
Not gonna lie, the entertainment value of this board's nuclear, cataclysmic meltdown if we fall from 1 to 3 or 4...I'd kinda love reading it even as I add to the chorus of apoplectic insanity. I can only imagine.Until three teams jump us in the lottery because Rangers.

Can the #31 team fall outside of top 3?
Yes, they only have a 49.4% chance of picking top 3.Can the #31 team fall outside of top 3?

4, which is the most likely pick we’d get if we finish lastwhat's the lowest #31 can go?

Put it this wayCan the #31 team fall outside of top 3?
They really did go from an idiotic system that allows a team to get the 1OA 3 years in a row to an even more idiotic system where way too many teams have a chance at 1 and the worst team has way too low of a chance to pick within the top 2. This league is run from top to bottom by complete ****ing moronic *******s.

Right. Which isn't to claim that the league is conspiring against us. It's just a reality of the luck involved with being a Rangers fan.
