What I hope happens is we get lucky and Dylan Cozens is still available. Kid is a stud. 

No way cozens drops past 6 at the lowest

If I recall correctly, the Draft Lottery is usually held on a Saturday. Interesting that they made it on a weekday this year.

I think they wanted to do the lottery before the start of the playoffs so people can be focused on the games ahead.  The playoffs start tomorrow so most likely that is why the lottery is today...

The way it works is, all team reps are given a set of numbers.. i forget how big the pool is.. something like 10000.

 

Each team gets their share.. last place 18.5% of the total.. or 1850.  Etc on down the line.


And then, an analogue number generator, I think bingo balls, are used to generate the winning numbers in order, from 1 on down.

 

An accredited bonded service performs it live in front of everyone.

 

When we see the reps all seated there as Daley shows us fans the cards, they all already know who won.

 

There is no effery going on, as fun as that is to believe.

I’m not nearly as stressed this year as compared to previous years :lol:

 

its not ours to lose 

 

Hughes, kakko, cozens or byram are on my wish list.

 

saw byram last Friday. My goodness watta skater and great vision. He’s a rover but such offensive upside. Kinda like a Barrie type of a player.  

That is exactly how I feel lol. I'm just hoping we can steal it from the claws of another franchise :lol:.

You know, it really doesn't matter

The system is so flawed, with absolutely no fairness

Even if we win, it is unfair

The system is actually less fair than just the final position system

where the last placed team wins the lottery

 

Personally, the lottery should be a system, that incorporates

recent past wins and recent past final standing positions

so at least if a team looses in one year that that is taken into consideration 

in the future years (5) This way teams that need the picks get the picks

 

Like I say, I hate this day!

You guys need to be more positive.  Holy crap.

 

Dont even look at it as #1 OA or nothing.

 

We only have a 5% shot at 1st. But a 16% chance at the top 3.

 

If we can secure a top 3 pick that would be amazing.  1st for Hughes, 2nd for Kakko,  3rd gives us the best player out of the rest.

 

Were going to do it guys.
