Here we go Wings fans who do we get in the first round in 2020 draft. Past history may screw us again.
I thnk we really gotta know where we pick first. I hope luck is with us we need it. I think one of Lafreniere or Byfield is our best case. I like Lafreniere better but Byfield's size would be great if he is the real deal
Same hereI don’t know how to vote in this thread. The new lottery sucks major ****, and my feeling is we’re going to draft fourth overall.
My impulse is to say we some how wind up with Stutzle.

The worst we could do is 4th with a 50% chance of that. Our last two drafts we dropped as you know from one to two spots.How is past history going to screw you?
It is impossible to fall spots in the draft due to the lottery.
If Detroit ends last their only guarantee pick is #4!
Yes there is a chance Detroit moves up, however, #4 is the pick they are guaranteed being 31st overall in standings. They would not entitled to picks 1, 2 or 3.
Picks 1, 2, and 3 are exclusive to lottery winners.

Detroit did not drop in either draft. It is impossible to drop from the minimal position guaranteed under the lottery system.
For the last place team, that guarantee is pick #4.
If other teams win the lottery the team drops 0 spots. If the last place team wins one of the lottery pick they move up.
Yes, there is almost a 50% chance last place MOVES UP from 4 to 1, 2, or 3.
However, they do not hold these picks. Since they do not hold (own) the picks, it is not possible to drop.
There is a 0% chance Detroit drops from 4th, because 4th is what the current draft rules guarantee!
This is what the draft guarantees (non-playoff):
Standing - Pick
#31 - 4th
#30 - 5th
#29 - 6th
#28 - 7th
#27 - 8th
#26 - 9th
#25 - 10th
etc.
To 'drop' in the draft, would mean expecting a pick you are not 'entitled' to.

interesting way to look at it.
I mean it reads like it’s a completely illogical and incorrect way of looking at it.
Team with the worst record is sitting in the number one spot...until they aren’t. What else can it be called? He’s essentially saying “you can’t drop until you are guaranteed your draft position” in which case...you just are incapable of dropping.
He’s just subscribing to mental gymnastics at this point.
How depressing is it that we are clearly the worst team in the league and most likely will draft a player that basically has zero chance of helping us NEXT YEAR like Drysdale would.We're most likely to pick 4th overall and if I were to predict the top 3 today it'd probably go:
1. Lafreniere
2. Byfield
3. Stutzle
The 3rd overall pick this year could be anybody and it really depends on the team who gets that pick. If a team gets 3rd and really needs a RHD I could easily see Drysdale going there, so it all depends. If the top 3 goes as I listed it before then I could see us taking Lucas Raymond.
It's a really shitty time to be in a rebuild because of the draft lottery. Hopefully we'll get lucky though after what's happened the past couple years with us dropping in the draft.How depressing is it that we are clearly the worst team in the league and most likely will draft a player that basically has zero chance of helping us NEXT YEAR like Drysdale would.
Lotttery was put in cause teams intentionally tanking. Was supposed to be a deterant, which it isn't just makes it less profitable. Please refer to Buffalo's anger with getting Eichel.It's a really ****ty time to be in a rebuild because of the draft lottery.
