i ran it 3 times and got pit 1st, 2 out of 3!!! also you should modify the years option 'cause the playoffs rule is for the last 3 years while the lottery wining one is for the last 4.
Pittsburgh gets 3 balls. They traded for the MA Fleury.JNRhockeyGURU said:this is the way i have it as to the way i have understood the process...

I'm sure it could be figured out mathematically through formulas, but I'd rather just run it automatically a million times and figure out where everyone sits.

There'd be a lot of happy Ranger fans if they managed to win the Crosby sweepstakes and then pick again at 31, 32, and 60(best case scenario)Chief said:The Rangers have the Flyers' and Leafs' second round picks.

Legionnaire said:Sounds fair enough. I shudder to think what Detroit could do with a late 1st and high second considering what they've been able to do without a first for several drafts.
phaneuf_fan_3 said:Ok so im not that fond of the bad teams only getting 3 balls in the draft to start with....having it be a snake draft where the team that picks 30th getting to pick 31st and so on is a horrendous idea.
Although it may be ok for the team who gets Crosby....the team who ends up choosing 2nd does not get a chance to choose again until 59th.
The idea of weighting the draft with 3 balls for bad teams instead of 1 ball for better teams goes right out the window with the snake draft~
What are others thoughts on this.

Am I the only one who hates the idea of rewarding the sad sack teams who not only did nothing to improve their teams, but in most cases quite obviously gave away what little talent they had. With the exception of the NYR who not only couldn't make the playoffs, but haven't drafted well either. All of these bottom feeders have already been rewarded with good draft picks so why should they get a better chance at Crosby then teams who have tried to win? Isn't that the point to playing...to win?JNRhockeyGURU said:here are the odds of drawings the 1st overall pick in the 2005 draft lottery, the buffalo sabres, new york rangers, columbus blue jackets and florida panthers all have the best odds at 6.12% chance, if it weren't for the rule that every team would have atleast 1 ball, the islanders would have the least with -1
1 ball has odds of 2.04%
2 balls have the odds of 4.08%
3 balls have the odds of 6.12%

Very well said!!!Legionnaire said:Cry me a river. You got Ovechkin last year, after years of having a high payroll and making the playoffs. This while teams like Edmonton, Buffalo, Minnesota, actually compete to make the playoffs even though they didn't have half the finances.
Don't blame the draft outcome blame your management.
