EP40. Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Phase 2 of 2020 NHL Draft Lottery to be held Monday https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/phase-2-2020-nhl-draft-lottery-held-monday/ Quote The fate of Alexis Lafreniere will be decided next Monday. After the projected top pick’s landing spot was delayed more than a month with a placeholder team coming away with the first-overall selection at Phase 1 of the 2020 NHL Draft Lottery at the end of June, the league announced Thursday that the aforementioned mystery club will be revealed Aug. 10 at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on Sportsnet during Phase 2. The eight teams that are eliminated from the Stanley Cup qualifiers will be eligible for the top prize, with all participants having the same odds (12.5 per cent) represented by one ball in the league’s lottery machine. The seven teams not selected in Phase 2 will be assigned draft slots 9 through 15 in inverse order based on their points percentages at the time of the NHL’s pause in the regular season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The draft selection order currently stands as: 1. Placeholder team 2. Los Angeles Kings 3. Ottawa Senators (from San Jose Sharks) 4. Detroit Red Wings 5. Ottawa Senators 6. Anaheim Ducks 7. New Jersey Devils 8. Buffalo Sabres 9. TBD 10. TBD 11. TBD 12. TBD 13. TBD 14. TBD 15. TBD The remaining 16 first-round selections will be determined by the results of the playoffs. Eliminated play-in teams who are now in the running for 1st overall: A ) New York Rangers - 12.5%B ) Winnipeg Jets - 12.5% C ) Florida Panthers - 12.5%D ) Nashville Predators - 12.5% E ) Pittsburgh Penguins - 12.5% F ) Edmonton Oilers - 12.5%G ) Minnesota Wild - 12.5%H ) Toronto Maple Leafs - 12.5% Edited August 10, 2020 by EP40.

Justdean10 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Not many teams I want to win first overall. It's been hard cheering in these games. Like I want Leafs to lose cause I don't want them to make playoffs but that means a 12% chance at 1st. Ugh. Seems like a lose-lose. I hope the Wild win it. They could use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The thought of Toronto, Edmonton or PIttsburgh winning this makes me sick.. if current situation holds there is a 36% one of these teams wins Lafreniere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnipeg got lucky and won 2nd overall in 2016, allowing them to add Laine to already strong top 6 group. I'd hate to see Winnipeg add another 1st line winger and ice the line up of: Lafreniere-Scheifele-Wheeler Ehlers-Little-Laine It's going to awfully difficult to break our 10 game losing streak against them if we have to face that line up. The only team that makes sense is Montreal. I think the Pens are going to come back and win this and Canadiens will get a Francophone superstar that they've wanted for so many years.

Elias Pettersson Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Edmontom will win the lottery, draft Lafreniere, play him with McJesus and he will score 100 points. And Edmonton will still not make the playoffs... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have Connor. Could see them trading a winger for defensive help if they get Lafrenière. Would think Ehlers but Laine is RFA in a year and it was challenging to get him under contract. This time he'll have arbitration rights and will be 2 years to UFA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, can't believe I forgot about Connor! If they do get Lafreniere, given how savvy of a GM Chevy is, they will do that trade of winger for defence. Maybe Johansen for Jones type trade... Yuck, I don't want them anywhere near Lafreniere, that team's going to be scary if they do. Well, as long as Edmonton, Chicago, Winnipeg, Pittsburgh, Rangers, Toronto don't get the 1st overall, I'll be content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Winnipeg to win it, not out of pity, but because the 'Placeholder Team E' that won the first lottery had the 12th best odds by points percentage. Winnipeg would have been that 12th spot by points percentage if the NHL hadn't done this two part lottery BS. So its like Winnipeg kinda deserves the pick they've already 'won' once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that. But man, why is Winnipeg so lucky? 2nd overall in 2016 and "should have" won 1st overall in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakrami Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Jets should win, they have been hit by so many bad luck. Imagine if Edmonton, Toronto or Pittsburgh win and Lafreniere turns out to be a superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if we are going by who has had more bad luck in the past, then the Canucks have 50 years of it to show for + NHL bias against Canucks robbing 2 Stanley Cups + scumbag Kelly Sutherland with some sort of sick vendetta against the Canucks and the bad luck of him being a resident of BC of all places. So I'd say even if we make the playoffs, somehow we should win the 1st overall. I'd rather keep Lafreniere in the East if he's not coming to us. Montreal would be my pick.

HKSR Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 As of right now, the teams on the brink are: EDM PIT NSH FLA TOR MIN And we know WPG and NYR are already out. Out of all those, I'd prefer if FLA, NSH, or MIN win it. No to PIT, EDM, and TOR for obvious reasons. No to NYR because I hate them and they got Kakko recently anyways. No to WPG because I hate Laine and his remarks against the Canucks in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKNuck96 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) If it’s not us probably Habs or Jets. Although if Florida get him, they will just trade him for a bag of pucks and 20mins ice time Edited August 7, 2020 by UKNuck96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
