Pretty happy about seeing the Sen's get in. I like their team much better without Alfie, Spezza and others. Gonna be the best series in the whole thing. Sen's vs Hab's.

EFF THE SEN'S though... But I hope they beat the Hab's.

If they lose in the 1st round, our pick from them will be 21st
That's assuming there's no upsets
Every upset (except if the Hawks beat the Preds), will move the pick one spot better for us...
So, cheer for the Caps, & every possible upset to occur
That would give us pick 15

I'm seriously taking Washington to go deep. I don't think the Isle's have a chance against them.

Didn't that happen to the Sabres ?

No
We did miss the next year, but the Ducks (who won the Cup) still made the playoffs the next season

Me either
I think the Caps vs Rangers winner goes to the Cup
I could see Ottawa and Detroit winning in the 1st round.
Minnesota, Winnipeg & Calgary all have a chance at upsets as well.
If all those happen, we pick 16th

I still hate the Sens
Only reason I'm cheering for them is it makes our NYi pick better
I'm Cheering for the Jets & Minny BC of ex-Sabres... And every upset in general to help our draft pick
I think one or 2 could def happen
I think most Series will be good
Only team I see with no shot at an upset is Pitt over NYR. They're just too banged up on defense. Should be a sweep.

I wouldn't mind seeing Minnesota make a run. I've always been a Pominville fan, I'd like to see him win a cup.

For those interested...
NHLnetwork tonight is showing a 30min piece on McDavid at 630, and then his playoff game at 7pm right after

Leafs fired nonis just now

I know the Bruins have the slimmest chance of winning the lottery, but does anyone believe there is a chance that if they do win it they would take Eichel over McDavid? I understand McDavid is the clear cut first choice, but could they go for the "hometown" kid, leaving us McDavid at #2? Any chance at all?

Nope. It's a business. Coming off a disappointing non playoff season there is no way they would pass on the consensus #1. No team would.

Any chance the Sabres would pass on the Canadian kid and draft Captain America instead???
