Don's a hypocrite, he said last week the best thing for the team is to lose for the remainder of the year.

He and Vantel get to win either way, they don't want to lose on purpose, yet they praise Benning when he did last year after the TDL, yet they still love when we pick kids like Juolevi and build through the draft?

For a couple of guys who don't want to lose and build through the draft they sure get excited when we lose and get a high pick to build through the draft LOL.

It truly is an interesting case of argumentative 'logic'.
"Benning won't make any trades because all our players suck".
As we can see by this route, a possible defense is in place long before anything is actually proven, then:
"You see, i told you Benning was a good G.M, look at those great trades".
Now, the argument shifts its footing to move away from specifically the TDL, to the overarching 'strategy'.
"How can you say he's a bad GM when he's doing exactly what you have been whinning about for the last 3 YEARS"...

That's what you call going full-circle(jerk).

I'm not nearly high enough on Patrick or Hischier to hope we waste our luck winning this year's lotto... Why couldn't we have started selling off vets LAST YEAR

What are the odds we get a top three pick? 20%? I thought you were an engineer? Evidently a lousy one if you don't understand stats

what year was Gretzky drafted?

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.

You're a good poster

What does the roster look like in tank nation to achieve that goal
- Nuck4U

They're....

4th last with only 18 regulation wins in 65 games.
4th last in goal differential.
10th last in goals against.
3rd last in goals for.
7th last in Corsi (which means they don't posses the puck much)

I think you're looking at what it looks like to tank or you're looking at a totally incompetent GM.

If Francesco does in fact interfere as much as some say, then Benning is a gutless puke for staying.....I'm not sure that's the case anymore though.

I was certainly wrong about Burrows. I am shocked a team wanted him. Nobody said Hansen didn't have value troll

But are you taking those numbers in context or are you taking them like there's a 100% chance at everything....because there's not.

I dunno what that means.
Someone is going to get 1st overall, most likely it won't be us.
It is unhelpful to expect, plan or depend on getting high draft picks with a lottery system.
That is all.

I'm not sure you understand the system, when you're highest possible odds are 20% and you're at 6.7%, you've got a 34% chance at getting the #1 pick. Thems good odds son.
