NHL Draft Lottery, Tues. April 15


Recommended Posts

so those are the only numbers that can get us the #1 pick?

does it have to be exactly in that order? not a math-wiz here clearly :P

I was just making up numbers. I believe a series of 4 digit numbers are created for every team with a random number generator. It's a huge number like Bufflao would get someting like 4000 4 number digits and we would get roughly 1000 numbers. Then once the 4 balls are drawn they are simply matched to the master list of numbers. Which ever team owns that 4 digit number wins the lottery.

Trade Edler + 6th + Hansen to Buffalo for Ekblad

Trade Kesler to Pittsburgh for O. Maata and 1st round pick

Somehow sign Stastny by throwing money at him

Use Pittsburgh's 1st pick for Alex Tuch

Defense:

O. Maata-Hamhuis

Ekblad-Bieksa

Garrison-Tanev

Corrado, Stanton

That would be an Amazing defensive core. Championship caliber....its good to dream

None of this will happen

Edler wont waive at all, and even if he would he wouldnt to Buff, and Buff wouldnt even agree to that either way

Kesler would not get Maata and their first, they will not be trading Maata

Statsny Is possible but I do not see it happening

Tuch will be gone much before Pits pick

Drafting Ekblad would be an issue for us in that it would instantly make Edler, a player who said he won't waive his NTC and costs $5m per year, the odd man out. If he was willing to go, then he'd be gone before the draft.

Drafting Reinhart or Bennett would be an issue if Kesler really wants to stay. Suddenly we have no space for Horvat.

We might be well advised to trade down to 4th/5th overall and go for Draisaitl or Dal Colle. That said, maybe the best thing for the franchise would be to move the two current roster members mentioned above. If we could get Pouliot, Mantha, a 1st and a 2nd for the 2 of them, we could really be shaping up for something special in the near future. Imagine the following (provided we #TankForMcDavid), without adding any UFAs:

Shinkaruk - McDavid - Kassian

Mantha - Horvat - Jensen

Daniel - Henrik - Cassels

Fox - Gaunce - Tuch

Ekblad - Tanev

Pouliot - Hutton

Stanton - Corrado

Lack

Eriksson

The most important thing is that we suck even harder next year.
