Do we even have a chance to pick 1st (assuming were 14th-16th) or did the NHL change the lotto rules again?

Rules changed...can't move up more than 10 spots, so even if we win we'd be relegated to the 5-6 spot. With our luck, that's what will happen.

While that certainly sucks to some degree, should that happen... Jiricek please.

Of course they change the rules again, everytime we've been in the lottery the rules have changed to our detriment.

 

Missed playoffs in 13-14, minimal odds for & could only move up 4 spots.

Go through a re-building cycle after 14-15; now every non-playoff team has a chance to pick top 3 - we get shafted as a perenial bottom feeder.

Now we miss in a higher position & they've changed the rules again. Getting a huge jump up like Winnipeg (Laine), or Dallas (Heiskanen) could be a huge boost - but nope.

 

/whining. 

 

Bingo on Jiricek, him or that other RH defenseman would be just the ticket we need - but we're Canucks fans so obviously we aren't winning the lottery.

 

Is there just 1 lottery this year or still 2-3?

2 lotteries this year I think.
