Any top 5 pick can be a good pick. There are some really good players that have been drafted 4th or 5th.

I know there is no guarantee because it's a lottery, but I want the best shot we can get at it.

Imagine if the Penguins only had a 20% chance of getting Super Mario back in the day.
The 2015 Draft Lottery is like playing pro line (suckers bet).
You have a better chance of falling 3 spots than moving up.

Although locking down 4th over all at worst could be considered the new strategy.

I don't think there's a fancy hash tag for that convoluted mess.

If you finish last you have a 47.5% chance of dropping 3 spots; every other standings position has even lower odds.

If you finish 2nd last, you have a 25.8% chance of dropping back 3 and a 13.5% chance of winning 1st OA. This is the only time dropping 3 spots is more likely than moving up.

The Jets should bring in Mittens and Oli Jokinen to bolster the teams chances before the deadline. Dust them off and deploy!!!
We'll also get a time machine to deliver 2011 Eric Fehr to the front lines.

Prediction: Jets finish 3rd last and draft 6th

I think Oli Jokinen could still run circles around Peluso and Thorburn.

I also coined #NoPainNoLaine

Beautiful. Sheer poetry.
Evil Little's suggestion, while more ... thorough... lacks that magic.

...Skate?

 

[nobody important]

This season's tank needs a catchy tagline, along the lines of "fail for Nail" (the pick has, um, not exactly worked out, but the hashtag was genius).
I suggest #lostonforauston - not quite the same ring to it, but quite workable, I think.

Best I can come up with is Upchuck for Tkachuk.

OK, may not be the best suggestion but almost rhyming Puljujarvi deserves a special Lifetime Achievement Award.

Except for the fact it's pronounced Line-ay

Tank away boys...tank away. Pssst.. we are not really tanking.

The Leafs match the Little injury with Lupul out for the year and raise with Van Riemsdyk out for the year...Chevy needs to re raise

 

[SCP Guy]

No Ladd no little Pav in net .... Game vs stars....the tank is rolling along at full speed

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

No Little, No Ladd, No Helle - instead we have Pav. It's now Autotank Turbo.

 

[meedle]

Good news Laddy scratched. Trade must be coming

 

[Deif]

Tank full steam ahead. Matthews here we come.
