D-Money Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I believe they removed that limitation in the new CBA and that was what the poster was referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuxforever Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Impossible to drop more than one spot. So if Leafs finished last, they'd at worst pick 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I can see it now. The Leafs tank and finish dead last, but because of the new lottery system they get a pick outside the top 5 and draft another Kadri type player that ends up being a bust...

Tortorella's Rant Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Too bad the Wild signed Nick Palmieri today after being placed on waivers. The Canucks could have snagged him up. 6'3, 220, 23 years old; 25 points in 87 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 So how does it work now, you finish dead last, the 13th place form the bottlom team wins lottery and you fall to 8th?? Does that make sense? How would it be determined whether you drop to 4th, 7th, 10th or 15th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The way I understood it is, if you come last, then you get the most amount of balls in the lottery. And the amount goes down the higher up you placed. And that applies to every non playoff team now. Whereas before it was just the bottom 5 or whatever. So if you finished 17th, you might have like a 1/100 shot of the first overall pick. And the 30th place team would have like a 1 in two shot. But you can drop an unlimitted amount of spots until your ball is chosen. I could be wrong, but that's how I understood it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangosteens Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Somebody will pick up Connolly, and it will be before Vancouver can put in a claim. Looking over his career, I think Connolly actually fits with the Canucks strategy of having guys that can play up and down the line-up in multiple roles. He can play wing or center. Connolly has played considerable time on both powerplay and penalty kill in recent seasons in Toronto and Buffalo. Toronto saw his powerplay time at its lowest. Looking over his career numbers, he is not a great face-off guy which is something the Canucks wouldn't like. If the Canucks got him, and they could fit him under the cap, he would be a guy who could fill on the 2nd line for Kesler, a right handed shot for the powerplay (1st or 2nd unit), and a guy who could chip in on the penalty kill too. I would think that there will be some team that will take the risk for one year on him. If Toronto sends him down to the AHL, they still take the cap hit for most of his salary. Surprised they couldn't trade him and pay part of his salary the way they did with Lombardi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Pretty sure the lottery is exactly the same as years past - only instead of jumping a maximum of 4 spots, the winner get's first overall. Teams can only go down one spot. Could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I know for sure that they eliminated the maximum number of spots you can climb or fall for the lottery. I'm pretty sure the way Deniro explained it is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgillnuck Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 DarrenDreger For clarification, the Leafs don't intend on buying out Connolly. If he clears he will very likely be assigned to the Marlies. #TSN Just in case anyone was still thinking this is a buyout, it's not, just regular waivers.

Canucks fan in chicago Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Tim Connolly is a right-handed centre who's good on the power play sounds like a perfect bandaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Please Claim this guy (and Santorelli) We have the space for him and his contract is done at the end of the year, not much risk IMO and he would be a great pickup, hopefully we put in a claim could really use him.

Darkstar Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have a feeling Chicago will pick him up. Would fit perfectly as their second-line centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.K. Chesterton Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Nonis is doing good. Getting rid of dead weight, maybe tanking to get a top draft pick in the shortened season. He'll have at least one grace year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
