I think they're trying to go through a wall for Marty and the wall is winning.

Of course they are, he is the variable everyone keeps ignoring in our "rebuild". Just look at who MSL put on in the shoot out, he had better options..

 

[hairnova]

Will join the Rocket for the rest of the season.

 

[GGpX]

A little bit of a surprise, but there were rumors going around the last few weeks from the French media that he was planning to sign after this season.

Good for him, let's see what he can do.

 

[hairnova]

Another one bites the dust.

 

[Habsy]

This needed to happen two weeks ago

Belzile is out for the season with a broken leg and Monahan had surgery on his groin so he is also done for the season (no shit)

 

[Krustchev]

WTF is going on here? This is nuts.

Tank check

With 5 games left we really only need to concern ourselves with Zona. We are 1 point back. And maybe Philly (5 points back).

Pretty much locked in at 8.5 or 7.5 percent odds.

Panthers check. No lotto here but I'd like the 15th at least. No sense risking them going on a finals run and getting the 32nd pick.

Preds (1 point back in, 2 games in hand) and maybe the sabres (4 points back, 2 games in hand) could pass them. So.. 13th overall.

Need the isles and pens to win.

 

[Habsy]

Just lose baby. Fifth and with some ridiculous luck Anaheim wins 4 games

Would have been nice to have the panthers be 10th last. Darn.

What is the rule if the panthers pick wins lotto. 15 moves up 10 spots?

yup 10 spots up maximum

Problem is a team can only win the lottery twice over 5 years , so after we land Bedard team is done for a bit

I'm fine with that.

We can still get first overall. If we finish last and the lotto winner doesn't move up far enough to take first. So the tank continues.

Decent probability Fla ends up 13OA

Dec

Decent probability Fla ends up 13OA

Decent chance they make the playoffs as well.

But 13 OV doesn't help us in the bedard lotto

Still a tank- rebuild for 1-2 more years

Injuries are our bigger problem , tough to get a handle of progress when half your team is shelved
