Still deflecting
- LeftCoaster

Deflecting what? You predicted Benning had $4MM dollars so he should quit his dream job due to a meddling owner. How the frank do you know his net worth

Nice wish list. So what roster, with players Nucks have now and coming gets you 1st overall to top 5 for 5 more years? Lefty said it's a smart GM that creates a tank roster. So how does that work?

Right now we have a 6.7% chance at 1st overall and a 20.9% chance at top 3.

I ain't a betting man, but that is not a good chance.

In fact, we have a good chance of not getting either.

We have a 93% chance of not getting 1st overall.
We have a 79% chance of not getting a top 3.

The other side of the coin is teams higher up have less of a chance.

[quote=LeftCoaster]Don't be so negative, they're statistically one of the worst teams in the league right now, anywhere bottom three gives them a good chance to be first overall. Next season will probably be worse than this year.

/quote]

Yes Sedin decline and other issues has them statistically at the bottom this season. But the rise of young players and insertion of new ones, plus a healthier D, doesn't mean they take more of a step back next season.

Are you basing next season being worse because of the Sedins? If so are you discounting what the new additions can bring to improve team?

Of course coaching, injuries, development and chemistry of new players will play a role in either a step back or forward in movement.

Can you fix this?

You don't tank by icing a sh!tty roster... You tank by doing right by your future. For example, 1st unit PP mins & offensive zone starts go to youth with offensive skill sets, not the Sedins. Situational priority to the guys who need to get their feet wet - let them sink/swim without confidence crumbling judgement as you're building a contender. Sell at the TDL & on the draft floor.
