He never won the lottery, and he ended up filing bankruptcy and losing his house. My point is: sometimes its better to get something of value with ur assets then to gamble that they MIGHT get u something better. If ur strategy is to depend solely on chance (which is what the draft is) you will fail. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point is: sometimes its better to get something of value with ur assets then to gamble that they MIGHT get u something better. If ur strategy is to depend solely on chance (which is what the draft is) you will fail. Sportsnet had a nice article analyzing the value of draft picks a few years ago. Going from 1st overall to 5th overall you've already declined in over 50% in value. 4th round picks have a value of about 0.05 - 0.07 Reason a 4th round has so little value, is because there's only about a 20% success rate for a player to make the NHL from that round. And on top of that, lets says your 4th rounder pays off and makes the NHL, the likelihood of them ever having a scoring rate above 10 pts a season is so low it's staggering. So in the Erne trade we basically traded a pick that has about a 95% chance of becoming as valuable or less valuable than Erne... for Erne. A smart gambler makes that trade. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chances of winning the lottery are like 1 in 14 million if your friend thought by wasting every $ he had would make him when then im sorry hes got himself to blame obviously id trade a 1st or a 2nd depending on who we get back, but were a rebuilding team so i wouldnt just be giving picks away for another bottom 6 guy after we also got filppula and when we have plenty guys as it is in the ahl desperately trying to get a spot as well .

Yessir, I think he'll end up a 30-40 pt Dman, and most of those points won't be because he's an offensive big brain, but because he's simply on the ice for 30 min a game.
