F.Michael 4,590 Report post Posted March 30, 2019 Just got back to the hotel from the game - great win! Even though it's a bit of a tough pill to swallow regarding the lower % of landing a top 2 pick - I enjoy watching our young guys skate hard, and play with some passion. What happened to Bernier? All of a sudden Howard was starting the 3rd? 5 minutes ago, ChristopherReevesLegs said: No way, a team has two first rounders? How does that happen?

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted March 30, 2019 With the Chelios debut tonight the current 2019 league has a Chelios, Bertuzzi, Lemieux, Tkachuk, Nylander, Domi, Foligno, Parise, Gagner, Wolanin, Statsny, and Sutter playing in it. There's also like a buncha other players with lesser known last names who had their fathers and/or uncles play in the league before them. Nature? Nurture? Nepotism? All 3?

You're forgetting Gallant.

This team is awful on its own. Winning some games isnt going to change that. If we're gonna drop multiple spots in the draft, which looks really likely right now, I'd rather drop to 4th or 5th then 7th or 8th. The way this team is going right now, there headed towards the latter, which would be a monumental disappointment imo. Now if the balls fall in our favor, this is all a moot point, but I'd rather rely on luck as little as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luck is exactly what the draft lottery, or any lottery for that matter, is... More than likely some team outside of the bottom 3 teams will draft in the top 3. There's no way of knowing which team that will be until after the balls are dropped... It's literally all luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get that part of it. But if you're going to complain, at least wait until after the draft lottery. It's only another 9 days... Who knows, this last little streak we've been on, may be exactly what we've needed to get that top (three) pick... or maybe we end up dropping back. It's all luck of the draw... Me personally, I'll never root for losses, or get upset with wins for exactly that reason. I may look back after the lottery and say, "man if we lost one more game", or "if we won one more game, we would have gotten Hughes"... "But oh well, there's no way we could have known that at the time"... 1 Wheelchairsuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
