Vegas gets #3
- VanHockeyGuy

So does the team that finished third last, in the first round. Essentially the team that finishes third last and Vegas gets the same 11.5% odds at winning the first overall pick, again, only for the first round.

If Vancouver finishes third last, both them and Vegas will have the same odds for the first round. They don't get bumped to fourth odds.

WTF is wrong with people, why can't they understand the simplicity of the rule?

If we pick a center with 1st id like to take a dman maybe timmins.

If we pick a dman with the 1st id like a center maybe robert thomas.

Obviously all things being equal. If someone they are super high drops then of course just take them no matter of the position.

I think you guys are actually agreeing but still arguing.

How can we get the 3 spot odds?? Vegas gets the odds to pick at 3.

Vegas's odds in the lottery are 3rd but they aren't locked for third overall. I think there is a disconnect between you guys and lefty.

I get that. Thats why I said odds. They can still win the lottery or drop.

No, we're not. He's saying if we finish third last we get bumped to fourth odds, which is incorrect.

"We cant get the #3 spot odds because they go to LV. Thats why finishing at 29 is huge because then you cant fall past 5th in the draft. If we finish 28 we get bumped to 4 and can finish as low as 7.

For me I like the consensus top 5, you have 4 centers and the dman we are missing."

Vesalainen used to be top 10, seemed to drop like a stone this year, if anyones going to drop i could see him being the one and if the canucks could get him in the second round that would be sweet

I wonder about Klim Kostin that Russian. Shoulder injury so he only played 8 games or something. He also was a top 10 to start.

I didnt know that. I thought they dropped. Dont know why your getting so excited about it.

Maybe increase your meds

I'll be ok, I just wanted you to be informed.

D is less of a concern for me as forwards that plays with size. Next year sounds like it would be the year to draft a D in the first round. Ryan Merkley and Rasmus Dahlin. Evan Bouchard is putting up better numbers then OJ in London.

Ok we can move on now

You know, people over 50 should be nice to each other, we don't have a lot of time left

Las Vegas is not locked to 3rd overall...
- Codes1087

They mean LV gets the odds of the 28th place team. SO if we finish 28th we actually finish 27th for draft purposes.

Good point my friend.
