Slaf would be a KK gamble pick in the top 3 , but he is built like a tank .That's the million dollar question. Truth is, picking players like him in the top of the draft would scare the shit out of me. I think I would take him if we were drafting third overall, but I say it with no conviction.
I don't think Savoie can be an impact player in the league as a PP specialist. He'd be a great pick at 15, not so great at 5.
If we were to pick Nemec that would be one helluva D prospect pool.
Arizona knows that they don't need to finish last. Theyve already been told that they'll get the top pick. After all, Bettman wants them to get their new arena built.I was shocked when I heard Arizona came back! I went to bed assuming they would lose. That makes our odds at 1st overall 25.5%.
It is 18.5to win draft lottery but 25.5 percent chance. Teams not in The bottom eleven are unable to move up the ten spots. Should one of those teams win lottery (7%) the last place team is awarded first pick.I think it’s now just about 18, not 25.

Once they get Wright and Bedard next summer they will break ground.Have they started to put a shovel in the ground ?
I’m not 100% clear on that. I was looking at various sources sources which stated if the 12th place team wins lottery for first pick it remains with last place team. I would assume that means they get The 2nd.Allan , so how does this work
Lets say #12 wins the lottery .....they move up to #2
Habs automatically get 1 , and the rest of the lottery plays out as normal ?
Odds on that site are wrongI’m not 100% clear on that. I was looking at various sources sources which stated if the 12th place team wins lottery for first pick it remains with last place team. I would assume that means they get The 2nd.
I do know our odds are 25.5 for first 18.8 for 2nd and 55.7 for 3rd according to tankathon.

Could be I hate math lol, can you clarify?Odds on that site are wrong
Could be I hate math lol, can you clarify?
Not sure Nemec is "safe". Cooley, on the other hand, I'd be 100% comfortable taking.And therein is the beauty of a top 3 pick. You can get Cooley or Nemec instead, much safer picks.

Actually never mind, it's accurate.Could be I hate math lol, can you clarify?
That's the fucking difficult thing with the draft.
How do you evaluate Nemec, playing in the Slovakian first division (a terrible caliber of play), compared to Slafkovsky, playing the Finnish elite league without getting that much ice time, compared to Cooley playing a lot in the USNDP?
It's so difficult.
If we were drafting 3rd, and Wright + Cooley were gone, I'd seriously think about trading down.
Lol. It's good to have goals.We did it!!!
Always thinking of others youWow. I’m happy . . . for Brad.
