Draft Lottery 4-29-17 NBC 7:30 pm

[DarthEbriate]

Oh, and just so it's out here, here are the odds for all teams.

 

Buffalo:

1.    7.6%
2.    7.8%
3.    8.0%   (23.4% chance of 1, 2, or 3)
4.    None
5.    None
6.    14.3%   (37.7% chance of staying where we were at 6th or moving up to 1, 2, or 3; 62.3% chance of sliding back at least one spot)
7.    38.2%   (52.5% chance of staying at 6 or sliding back only one spot to 7)
8.    21.4%
9.    2.6%   (24% chance of sliding back more than one spot to 8 or 9)

So about equal 1-in-4ish chance of moving up to 1, 2, 3 as getting hosed back to 8 or 9.  Half a chance of staying put at 6 or moving back one spot- but in that case, it's 2.7-to-1 in favor of sliding back one spot.

 

 

######'s rigged.

Never tell me the odds!

For the record, I don't see anything listed on NBC for this. I think they're just going to lead off the 8:00 game with the results.

[Huckleberry]

Is the lottery aired live ?

Here, the CBC has the show started at 7:30 eastern, but I believe they said the results are not aired until 8. So probably the same for NBC.

Count down to disappointment...

[dudacek]

I'm picking the Canucks. Finally pick first in a year without a true number one available.

[Doohicksie]

Is the lottery aired live ?

 

It says NBC in the thread title, but I checked NBC broadcast network here in Texas and it's the Pens/Caps game at 7 CT (8 ET), preceded by the local news.  On NBCSN, it's IndyCar racing.

Maybe you should perform some more cannibalism then :p

[TheAud]

NHL.com says 8PM

 

Edit: for announcing results. Maybe there is a show talking about it for 30 minutes beforehand if that's your thing. 

I'd rather clean the bathtub than watch that.

Anyone want to venture a guess at the probability one of Heiskanen or Makar will be available at 6, should we stand pat? Who's the next best available D man, Liljegren?

Stand pat for Makar yeah.

I don't see pre-lottery show in my local listings (for NBC, NBCSN, NHLN, or any of the usual NHLCI channels).  Are they gonna do the reveal during the 5 minutes of pregame before the Pens Caps game on NBC?

So will they announce during the pre-game for the Pens-Caps game which is on NBC at 8?

Psych.

[ubkev]

NBC, starting now

[bunomatic]

Man is Joe Sakic carrying some baggage. Looks like he hasn't slept in weeks.

[pastajoe]

They probably will pick Edmonton by mistake out of habit.

[DarthEbriate]

Way to hype your product NBC. "After this break we'll do something..."

[sodbuster]

I've got my profanity all dusted off for the result of this, just because.

[ubkev]

Make sure you mention the lottery team that continues to suck, not just the ones who actually made the playoffs.

[pastajoe]

I'd Kathryn Tap dat.

[bunomatic]

:w00t: 

[Beer]

Did we win? Did we win? Did we win?

[pastajoe]

I'm betting Detoit moves up. New arena and the league wants them in playoffs. Or Philly.

[dudacek]

First place we can show up is ninth, right?

Philly in top three

[Randall Flagg]

It's not rigged no matter what
