They have to be going after a starting goalie

Sitting with the 12th-best odds, the Blue Jackets are the first team that can’t move up all the way to No. 1, because teams can now only move up 10 spots. Here’s my question: What happens if we draw them first, which would give them the second pick? Is the next drawing now for the first pick? Third? Can the second team bump the Blue Jackets down to third? Has anyone actually thought any of this through? You’d think they must have, but this is the NHL, so …

Calgary dominated the game last night, and while Oettinger was very good, he also had a horseshoe up his ass for most of the game.

Good to see Calgary get rewarded with the win for their strong effort.

So let's say Teams 12 and 13 win. That means they win pick 2 and 3. Montreal gets 1, Coyotes get (frank)ed yet again and pick 4.

What if team 12 wins the first lottery, and team 6 wins the 2nd lottery?

Does team 12 get to pick 2nd and team 6 picks 3rd?

Here's my question. Is it "10 spots or nothing" or can they move up anywhere from 1-10 spots? In other words, can Vegas only move from 16 to 6, or can they move anywhere from 6-15?

CBS announces Broncos vs. Rams, 4:30pm EST on Christmas Day. It will also be a Paramount+/Nickelodeon broadcast.

Thursday Night opener is still on the table.

You can either move to 1 (lottery winner A/B), 2 (same) or 10 at most for teams 12 and above. Must be 10 spots.

So either Buffalo is picking 16th or Vegas is picking 6th.

- kingcong39


Prior lotteries were: 1st lottery = #1 pick, 2nd lottery = #2 pick, 3rd lottery = #3 pick

All just speculation at this point on what this limit of movement would mean. I'd assume there's legalese the clubs have on the situation you listed, but we'd never find out unless it happened.

Speculating though, I think you'd be right

I hate that Pierre McGuire was fired. That means he'll likely be somewhere on my TV screen next year.

Giving an 8 year deal to anybody at this stage of the franchise scares the living poop out of me.

5.5 to 6 mil if he signs long term this summer

he could get 8 mil if he puts another strong year up and wait 12 months

or he could have a bad year and it drops to 4.5 mil if he waits

IMO and assuming Adams does not overpay to retain the core
