This is quite an elaborate process to drag this out for 30 minutes
Apparently we now have an 18% change of winning the lottery. Who knows

My question is, if we don't get the 1 or the 10, can we still move up 5 spots? No idea how this works.

Pittsburgh can move up to #2 in the second draw.

I'm hoping that 1 on the screen was still for us and that we moved up at least 5 spots. That would be nice. But, no idea how this works. It's probably math popular in the 1970s knowing how the NHL is run.

No. 9 it is for the Pens
No, Islanders were behind us. I think we are moving down 2 spots....

Nope, 11. Isles and Utah passed us up.

Rangers' pick will be #12. It will be interesting to see what they decide... Dubas might end up with back-to-back selections.

These are 17 and 18 year old kids with no clear generational talent. Would have been nice but in the end, this year it’s just not that big of a deal.

Keep building

Pens are following in the Steelers foot steps.

Bad enough to miss the playoffs. But not bad enough to get high draft picks to rebuild.

Rangers probably should give us the pick this year. They are trying to win next year and could use the 26 1st as trade bait. Back to back 1st round picks would be cool.
