Bieser Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 19%, 1 out of 5. We deserve it! btw what time is the lottery? Below from NHL.com If I'm reading it right, 4-15 is announced first? I haven't had any coffee yet... Picks 4-15 will be announced during the "2018 NHL Draft Lottery Show" on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, TVAS). The top three selections will be revealed during the second intermission of Game 2 of the Western Conference Second Round between the San Jose Sharks and Vegas Golden Knights (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, SN, TVAS).

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 thanks. Looks like they do 4-15 first(probably starting With 15?), But why have the lottery in the intermission of a playoff games? makes no sense lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 It does if you want fans who's teams have been eliminated to watch a hockey game between Vegas and San Jose in late April... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 seeing tweets claiming Wahlstrom isnt going to Harvard anymore? Any word on this? How close would he be to NHL ready? I didnt watch him with that thought. But being 1-dimensional, and that one fitting a huge hole for the Rangers, actually does intrigue me a bit.

Phil Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Wahlstrom is committed. I've seen nothing suggesting otherwise. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I don't understand why somebody that's a virtual lock to become a millionaire to play hockey would choose to play short season amateur hockey instead of signing a contract to start what is surely his career path. It's mind boggling. I don't see it as being much better in Major Junior anymore, either. Major Junior teams used to pay premium players big bucks, but they put an end to that under the guise of "fairness" now nobody gets anything. Brilliant. Auston Matthews is the only one that's figured this out, I really thought other NA players would clue in to how fucked they get vs. their Euro counterparts.

Ranger Lothbrok Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'm irrationally nervous about this. Like, more so than I've been for any playoff game in recent years. The fact that the last top three pick we had was over 50 years is truly pathetic. I feel like we're due for some good luck, but more than likely we'll move back three spots.

Ranger Lothbrok Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 It's bizarre to me that it's not even so-called "magical thinking" anymore. Like people claim there's no such thing as luck, or hexes, or jinxes, or curses, etc. But at what point, when your luck is so bad for so long and it's so frequent, does it cease being magical thinking and become an empirically-proven piece of factual data? When you RELIABLY get screwed by the hockey gods time and time again, it's no longer "luck," which implies that it's transitory/temporary/subject to change, it starts being a foregone conclusion. Posted a few weeks back that I had a good feeling. Now that the day is here I don't anymore. I can all but guarantee the top three picks are going to be: 1. Islanders 2. Edmonton/Carolina/Dallas/St. Louis/Florida 3. Islanders If the Devils had missed the playoffs, they would have gotten the second spot. Same goes for the Flyers. If I'm an Islanders fan, I am thanking my lucky stars that the Rangers are in the draft lottery, because it all but guarantees a favorable outcome.

Fatfrancesa Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I wonder in how many of those years we didn’t own our first round pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Lothbrok Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 So we don't actually have to wait that long to find out what happened. My understanding is that they just turn over cards starting at 15 and moving down. So if we we don't see the Islanders twice, Edmonton, Carolina, Dallas, St. Louis, or Florida in picks 9-15, we'll know they're in the top 3. Conversely, if pick #8 comes around and we haven't seen our team, we'll know we're in the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Trade up and get Hughes/Wahlstrom or trade down and get one of Wilde, Farabee or Kotkaniemi. I dont want Dobson/Smith Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Make the pick and take Kravstov. He smells like a steal. Dobson sounds too much like a project. I'd take Bouchard though, RH dream boat. No to the guy that looks like he's 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
