So we won't be in the lottery. But even if we were, a 12.5% chance to win is still an 87.5% chance to lose. Given how last year went for San Jose, and for Ottawa the year before that, I'll be happy to at least close the book on handing NJ a potential lottery pick in 2021. Miller is worth so much more than a mid-round pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh God, could you imagine the implosion if the Canucks win the play-in and the Wild win the lottery? I still can't believe the NHL did the lottery now. Could the crappy teams just not wait a little bit longer and wait for the play-ins to finish to find out where they pick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Linden Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) So essentially, if hockey resumes, we are not a playoff team and have to earn our way into the playoffs, but if hockey is canceled, we are a playoff team and can’t win the pick. Seems about par for the course for the nucks. Edited June 27, 2020 by T_Linden 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would both teams in the same play in series be assigned the same letter though? Not sure how it works exactly but I don’t think that if Minny won that that would mean we would have necessarily.

JeremyCuddles Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 The lottery is kinda screwy. So a team that is in the play-ins won the lottery. But what if they win their play-in game? I could probably do the research myself but I like being a terrible lazy person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the teams that lose their play in rounds will have a chance at the first overall. That’s 8 teams with a 12.5% chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruilin96 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Just now, N7Nucks said: So they re-draw with all the play-in teams that lose their play-in game? Yes, 1 re-draw made up of 8 play-in losers. However, if the season gets canceled, it is the bottom 8 team by point % doing a redraw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unnecessarily complicated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Not sure if this was posted yet or not, but as per Sportsnet: • If the NHL does not return to play, the following eight teams (based on points percentage) will have equal 12.5% odds of winning the pick: Canadiens, Blackhawks, Coyotes, Wild, Jets, Rangers, Panthers, Blue Jackets Let’s hope the season doesn’t get cancelled. Ironically, since BC said no the hub health criteria, we may have created enough concern and doubt in the minds of the players to sink it all when it comes time to vote.

I am totally fine with that because it means we give up our pick this year. I don’t want a season coming up wheee we struggle and the spectre of having a non lottery protected pick going to Jersey hanging over our heads. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-SN- Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 The NHL is so dumb but it's entertaining so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. A To Be Determined team that loses the first round of the not playoffs wins the first pick. Amazing. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Canucks Oilers Habs Jets Flames Leafs That's the order of teams I would want Laffy to go to. Hopefully he stays in Canada. Would have loved to see him go to Sens today. Too bad they lost out on him. They had a 25% chance wiith their 2 picks combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
