Generational.EP40 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This is stupid. There needs to be more parameters to prevent things like this, on top of already jumping 5-7 spots. More needs to be taken into account than just percentages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry we had and 84% chance of picking 9-12 and that is where we ended up. And what was Chicago's chance of moving up to the 3rd overall? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational.EP40 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I don’t get why they don’t just show the lottery process live instead of waiting 30-40 mins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Wouldn't it be funny to see Bettman's reaction (on tv), if no one showed up for the draft pick selection Not sure why there is a need to reward teams jumping 7-10 picks in the 1st place A team like the Canucks have fallen more in 3 years than every other team If You win the 1st over all, for the next 5 years, your ceiling should be 3 If you drop a spot, your odds should increase the next year I thought they wanted Parity, does that only come from in bush league calls to control scores in games the best they can, and the loser point system? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other systems...it is not fine. Now we may have been the most &^@#ed over but a team shouldn't be hit like we have continually and a team shouldn't move up 11 &^@#ing spots like Philly did. You can't just outright reward tanking up but nor should a team who barely misses even have a shot at moving that far up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess going 5-4-3-1-2 throws him off every time and Betman makes him start from the beginning if he gets it wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part of the draft lottery system that prevents teams that finish last or close to it from being guaranteed a lottery pick is fine. The part of the system that has made it possible for a team outside of the bottom ten (10 is an arbitrary number, I admit) to win a lottery pick three seasons in a row is what needs to be adjusted. Teams that are finishing 5 to 15 out of a playoff spot shouldn't be consistently benefitting from a system that is supposed to help genuinely bad teams (and not just the ones that tank) improve. Keep the odds for the bottom five about the same but shift more weight towards the 6th to 10th worst teams. You aren't going to see ten NHL teams tanking at the same time, especially with how the current points system keeps most teams in the playoff race for most of the season.

Meh, we're getting there. Git er' done Trader Jim! P.S. Ferland please! Then 1-2 Dmen and then set to see where it goes..

canucks.brad Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It will definitely be interesting if we find out what went wrong with the "leak." The video snippet looks like it was a test run on production since they need the graphics and fonts ready beforehand. I would assume there are E&Y reps presiding over the entire process with those given info on a need to know basis. A very visual screw up but it is what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Been a tough evening. My emotions are all over with anger and just downright disbelief over the lack of luck. It was disheartening to move down in the draft, again. We have made the finals three times as a franchise and we were never ever the beneficiary of a draft lottery win. We have some great pieces in place and with some good moves we will get over this bad luck at the lottery and back to being a competitor. I wanted to reach through the TV tonight and punch Ray Shero's smug face. Frik. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettersson was not projected to go in the top-5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
