This lottery is what I have discussed with some people here at home, eventually the teams that win lottery will be the teams that should be in playoffs, but for some reason or another they never made it. Teams like Tampa LA Philly and Dallas are all good teams that suffered the bad season.
So now we reward teams that are contenders like Tampa for having a bad season. The crappie teams like Canucks Av's Devils have been bad for a couple few seasons and need the most help yet 2 of these teams drop in positioning.
Never liked Gary's ping-pong tournament, but am looking forward to seeing one of Vilardi Glass Necas in our prospect.pool.
Exactly! just hopefully jim keep the process going! You guys are fine at 5! And if the canucks could bet Dahlin? Shat you'll be franking laughing! And with bose and horvat things are going to be very exciting in Vancouver!
I just couldn't handle if LA or Tampa slid in there. - classic321
Thanks. We've sucked for too long to not catch a break. Whatever you do, don't draft Tippett. Mittelstadt is a stud who doesn't get enough looks cause of where he plays.

On Jan. 15, Devils beat Canucks in OT. If Vancouver wins that game, the teams switch spots and they win lottery. Guess who scored OT winner?
Actually your right !he was projected to be drafted no.2 for a couple of years? After Patrick, up until this year i beleive so if you guys can get him at 5th overall, with (frank can't remember his name?)the kid in london, that's two projected elite dman in your system! You frankers! lol that's extremely important to any! Franchise, he'll we don't have one! ..and to the trolls frank off its bed time! - MR.Hunter
Anybody who has read my posts over the last year would know that I wanted to target Liljegren for TML back when I thought that we'd be in with a top shot at the lotto, and that hasn't changed now.
Lol at all the disappointed people. We all called this.
Assuming the first 2 picks are locks
Dal needs D so will go heiskanen
Col will take one of glass vilardi mittlesadt tippett makar liljegren
We will be getting a good player at 5. - Codes1087
These will be our next debates until draft day. Who the frack will Dallas and Avs pick. Then who the frack will the Nucks be left with to take. That player will not make the team this season. That's when cat calls come with that was the wrong pick. The reason is Vegas plays their pick in the NHL and he looks good like Tkachuk did.
This means to counter the draft let down expect OJ on the team this season. Already think they got JV locked with BB and Goldy with NHL bodies and talent. That leaves Dahlen as the question mark. They don't have a top pick to bring in to accelerate the rebuild. So they will dose the youth with NHL experience instead.

They're getting a good player and they pick 2nd in every other round - LeftCoaster
At the trade deadline you guys got some picks/prospects and if they can continue to do so,hopefully sign some depth free agents 2/3 help the young guys ,then flip them at the trade deadline, another (hopefully )bottom 3 Finnish and the team is on its way with the prospects pool and it's future! imho
