The Sedins might be lucky enough to get us another swedish superstar. Not a bad idea. The Canucks might pick anywhere in single digits except 4 or 5. Good chance we end up with Boqvist. (That is who you mean, right.) Actually Boqvist would not be a bad pick. But, assuming we don't get a lottery pick, I am hoping for Bouchard.

24K PureCool Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Easy, confirm with Bettman where we land. First overall: Send the Sedins. Second or Third Overall: Send Fin. He would make it fun. Stay: Send JB so he can start working. Drops: Send Linden. We get to his dumb lottery face again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These rules are monumentally flawed, in an age where drafting is more important than ever (cap era), and the draft order purpose itself being the lifeline for bottom dwellers to get back into the playoffs and beyond... Not a fan. It worked for decades, sure Buffalo tanked hard for McDavid, SO what, they didn't get him with the old rules, and those guys don't come around often, in other words, don't fix what isn't broken.

BCNeil Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I think the presidents must all hate the draft lotto. They all have to fly to the lotto, just for a boring ceremony. I don't think the Sedins would want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we got the Sedins....and McCabe and Bertuzzi, and Luongo...in fact his trade is still on the team in Markstrom. And you say Trevor has no luck...

It's completely ridiculous. Buffalo has a > 50% chance at picking 4th than they do staying in the top 3. And the top 3 teams combined have a less than 50% chance of picking 1st. So what that means is Buffalo most likely falls to 4th, and a team from 4-15 is most likely going to pick 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
