We gotta focus on our own pick. Sharks pick is just cherry ontop
we gotta focus on finishing 2nd or 3rd last (at worst) ourselves.
You might like this idea: Down Goes Brown: Could the 'Gold Plan' eliminate tanking? - Sportsnet.caa system that encourages about a quarter of the fanbases in the league to cheer for their team to lose is a thoroughly stupid idea. I've even seen fans cheering for injuries to their players. There has to be a better way, if they can't think of anything just give every team that misses the playoffs an equal chance to win the lottery. Boom no more fanbases hoping their team fails.

"The idea goes like this: Instead of a draft lottery system that encourages losing by awarding the best odds to the league’s worst teams, you’d determine the draft order based on the number of points each team earned after being eliminated from the playoffs. Once you’re mathematically out of the playoff hunt, you start the clock on banking points towards your spot in the draft order. The team with the most post-elimination points get the top pick, and so on down through the rest of the non-playoff teams.
The beauty of the plan is that it still weights the odds of getting the first pick heavily towards the league’s worst teams, because they’ll be eliminated first."

But teams that really legitimately suck will continue to suck with no hopes of getting better. Let's say Detroit is eliminated with 30 games left and they only manage to get 10 points in that time vs a team with 10 games left manages to run the table, Detroit is going to still suffer.I've been a fan of this system since I read this article 4 years ago.
The gist:
more confusing because you'll have to look up someone's math about whether you are eliminated or not. I guess the NHL could do it, but a layman shouldn't have to think. It's a lot easier to see that the team with the least points should have the best chance.You might like this idea: Down Goes Brown: Could the 'Gold Plan' eliminate tanking? - Sportsnet.ca

San Jose is starting to play well, its a strange phenomenon when your team gets gutted and the remaining players pull on the rope together.
That being said the leafs are absolutely useless. What a joke of a team all that talent no compassion, no compete, cant build a team like that and pay all the skill so much so early.
Hope the sens continue to build a big heavy team with high character and compete.
Coming out of the draft with Lafreniere, Lundell and Sanderson would really be incredible.

Yup, we need to just focus on ourselves tanking as much as possible; we need to get that 30th position. SJ's pick is just gravy on top.
PLAY ANDERSON ALL GAMES.
