Here's what you said, "At this point not much to tank. They can't sink lower to one and two spot. Vegas has 3rd spot. So 4-8 spot lotto is a whatever."

So...you said there's not much to tank for because they can't sink lower to the one or two spot. Which is 100% false! They can infact sink down as low as the second or third last spot, currently sixth last.

So why are you saying they can't sink lower than one or two spots, they absolutely can. I don't think they can catch Colorado at the bottom, or Arizona for that matter, however, they can finish third last which gives them the same odds as the new Vegas team.

Final spots are determined after the lottery, not before.

contracdicting yourself in the same sentence

Look if you want to be serious. I have responded 3 or 4 times with your antagonistic commentary. It's the lotto draw spot. Yeah they can sink to have the same odds as Vegas in the 3rd drawing spot for lotto. It's a whatever as that's just another team there not quite in front but equal of a barrier to odds of picking higher.

My premise was that there really isn't much to tank for in getting a superior positon in lotto odds where 1 & 2 are most sought after and 3rd is marred with Vegas taking a spot. They will be around that Lotto spot and odds difference not much of a factor. Just like the difference in the available draft picks this season.

If it's meant to be moving up in lotto then finishing 3-8 in lotto draw sharing with Vegas same odds etc. just is all the same in the big picture. You may want to hedge and squeeze as much of the odds out as possible but it doesn't look like it makes much of a difference in my opinion. Okay. End of this now?

That wasn't me that was Argue4U all over the place. I responded to 3 posts on Walshy and called him out and ended it. You don't need to throw me under the bus on that one too.

Just waiting around for the season to end so we can see what happens in the lotto, I hear the Canucks have asked the Oilers how to throw one of those "draft parties" for the fans

Aww he's just doing his thing....speaks in chop, says one thing but means another or is fully incapable of typing what he really means. Communication is not his strength that's for sure.

He is painful...he states things that are false and defends them to no end. He's wrong, he's inferring the Canucks have no chance at the top three spots in the lottery odds when they absolutely do.

They can realistically finish second or third last and win the lottery. Why he's saying they can only go to 4th last odds I don't know....and neither does he probably.

- LeftCoaster



What's painful for all is that you trying to make it false. I didn't say what you are trying to make up or accuse me of here. When I have responded to clarify you just keep on making it out to be something that it's not.

Drop it already. You are just being obtuse and belligerent trying to make it out to something that it is not. Are you happy throwing out slanderous and salatious personal comments. It's obvious you are the aggressor and antagonist here.

Whatever it's your fun at trying to be annoying. I am not surprised you are blowing this up for no reason. Bravo way to go. You are a genius. I don't care.

But dropping it for the sake of others here. You can keep up with your jabs and using that silly Alt whether you or one of the other trouble makers here control.

He know he has the insurance policy. If he gets really bad Leafs or Flames will grab him like they do with all our other busts
