zombieksa Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The rules to draft order for playoff teams has always confused me slightly. My rough understanding is that 30-27 are for the SC champions, their opponent and the two losing conference final losers. After that, any division winners out in the first two rounds take the next top spots, after that it is all league point based. From my looking at the standings 23rd is the positioning spot for us, but am I right in understanding if 4 underdogs make the finals 19th is the lowest we could pick? My understanding has us picking either 30-27th, 23-19th, but I may be incorrect about that. Just wondering if I am doing something wrong in my stats. TY in advance.

c00kies Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think the President's Trophy winners pick 26th unless they make it to the conference finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GET HYPEEEDDDD!!!!! Oh I am, although I am unfortunately in ON and will be watching PVR . I'm just asking as I can't remember. I optimistically picked Canucks for the cup in my NHL pool. I think the President's Trophy winners pick 26th unless they make it to the conference finals. Exactly, my point, Division leaders take 26th-23rd if any of them are out of playoffs after two rounds, I'm just trying to figure out exactly where the canucks can land, I'm hoping for 30th obviously, I just want to know for my own scouting projections.

thejazz97 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 We can pick at 22nd, 23rd, 27th, 28th, 29th, or 30th. Barring trades, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
