Canucks did whatever they can this time around to tank, even thought it wasn't a tank, since they dressed out best players. Canucks played with honour, did our best and end up with the 2nd best odds into the draft.
I no longer believe any team can "tank" (**** you Edmonton).
No such thing as Colorado retaining the 1st pick, or Vancouver "retaining" the 2nd pick. These are just odds going into the lottery draft. As Colorado had the highest odds, yes, 17% chance or 83% chance you don't win it.
the odds are against every team. The worst place teams, just have the 'best" odds, although is really not much. Sure Colorado had a 17 chance, also a 83% chance its nots not them. And the same for our Vancouver Canucks 12% chance, at each of the top 3 pick, or 88% chance, its someone other then Vancouver.
Next year things will be back to normal, more like 80% chance its not the worst place team, or if Vancouver finishes 2nd last again, 13 Percent odds or 87% not that team.
This draft system has been in place for 2 years now, out of the 6 teams, that had the top 3 best odds, only 1 was able to win it.
So since this stupid system was put in place, only 1 out of 6 was able to retain a top 3 spot. the rest fell.
Now people are suggesting we tank for whoever...... I don't have faith in the lottery system, anymore, expect the worse. Next year I am expecting a similar result.
lets hope, we can draft the right player with our 5th pick.
