Flyers currently have 41 points.

Edmonton with 29, Buffalo with 31, Carolina with 31. The top three picks are locked up.

The remaining teams are all fairly close, with Colorado at 44 points, and currently 10th.

Seems Philadelphia will truly be picking in the 5-10 spot this year.

With the top pick open to the lottery nothing is locked up!

you know if they only lost a few more games they'd be picking in the top 3 but they still decide to win games
you know how nashville got seth jones... yea

Meh. If they get one of Zacha, Crouse or Rantanen I'll be happy.

Until they do a live selection thing with ping pong balls or something I wont believe much of it.

Opening up sealed cards with team logos is too easy to rig.

By being a horrible team due to inadequate pieces and injuries to key players, not to mention 3 team passing him by?

Until those envelopes are opened I'll believe they have a chance

Bellemare's first too I would think.

Berube made him return it when he scratched him. Ditto MDZ

I think from a strictly hypothetical point of view it wouldn't be a stretch if you had Jersey, Arizona or Buffalo take that top pick.

Could just be craziness but I don't believe the process is completely untainted.

And the top pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft belongs to...(opens envelope)...the Buffa-err, um, Pittsburgh Penguins.

you guys are so Lemieux-sing

Coburn's out four weeks, which would be 10 games if he's back for the Montreal game on Feb 10th.

Just a good old Betts, come on?

We just killed the best team in the East, Coburn got hurt, Grossmann is out another 2 weeks

the only thing that could possibly make things better right now is if MacDonald came down with a season-ending injury!

*remembers Mason is still out for the next 5 games or so*

well... poop.

still awesome! Bet you Colaiacovo does well. So well that when Grossmann is healthy he'll be an immediate healthy scratch again

I'm not going to be happy when another future superstar lands in the division when the Devils end up with a top-2 pick

Edit: I love the other top prospects in this draft too, but it would just figure that one of McDavid or Eichel would end up in the division...again

How many toppings?

I think the real question here is when will Ryan White be called up? This team is lacking PIMs
