pastajoe Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 There should be a rule that if you get the 1st pick, you are out of the lottery the next year and have to draft in your normal pick position. If you’re one of the worst 3, you go to 4th. Quote

Trettioåtta Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 Well if we don't get first overall, we will have had about an 83% chance of winning a first overall at some point during the tank Quote

jsb Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 I almost wish we do come in 4th so I can then have some peace the rest of the day. I'll be bouncing off the walls if we're in the final 3 and have to wait 2 hours to find out where we end up Quote
Huckleberry Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 All good will see when i wake up :D Quote
Randall Flagg Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Posted April 28, 2018 So, if there are three teams displaced in the initial countdown, then we are guaranteed to pick 4th. If we get all the way to 4 and nobody weird has won, then we have a 42.5% chance of getting Dahlin, if I did that right. Anything else depends on how many, and which teams, get bumped up with a lotto win. Because, if we get to 4 and no team has won, then 565 combinations all failed. Of the 465 combinations left, we have 185. Quote
Thorner Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 Oh dear... We are now losing the lottery... trading Guhle to move up from 4 to 2... drafting Tkachuk at 2... signing Lehner to a four-year, $20-million deal... Tyler Bozak to a five-year, $25-million deal... watching Kane sign with the Leafs for a five year, $20 million deal... trading O'Reilly, Scandella and a our 2nd to the Oilers for Nugent-Hopkins and Larsson... ...and listening to Terry Pegula say "he will be a Sabre for as long as he wants to be" at the press conference announcing Bogosian's 8-year extension But we did save money on our car insurance by switching to Geico.

Randall Flagg Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Posted April 28, 2018 Thirteen more minutes! If anyone wants a list to look at, this is the order we want things to go. Any time a team breaks the order they've won a lottery spot. If that happens 3 times before 8pm, we're .

Stoner Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 Who was in the room when the balls were drawn? I remember something about the observers not being allowed to leave. So do the GMs sitting there know the results already? Quote

Kruppstahl Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 I'm feeling lucky tonight! Come on! Quote
ubkev Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 Christ, I can't believe I'm watching this !! Quote
Radar Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 Is the Buffalo fan base the only one that seems to think this is fixed? I think even the idea it is seems idiotic and reminds me of the birth certificate controversy. Quote
DarthEbriate Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 Switching my deflectors on double front as I navigate the magnetic fields... figured I'd tune in at 4:30 per NHL.com's article saying NBC would show the "NHL Draft Lottery Show", but here in Seattle it's something called bizKid$ instead. They sure know how to soften up their newest market. So my question to the rest of the 'Space is... is this supposed draft lottery show really an ongoing thing? Or are y'all watching bizKid$ too?

Kruppstahl Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 Well we made it to the Final 3. Could have been worse. Quote
ubkev Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 33.333% chance. I don't know if that's how math works, but that's what I'm going with. Quote
