2014 Draft Discussion - Now an 8 hour window

[Arian The Insider]

I actually like the top 5 a lot. No stamkos/Tavares/hall type superstar players but plenty of great potential bbkl pieces. If I drop to 6th pick I'll be very disappointed.

[Shep]

I LIKE NONE!

[Arian The Insider]

So let's make that deal buddy

[The BBKL Insider]

i will make a deal

[Lee]

So from what I've read, the lotto draft is on the 15th.

this is an excellent idea

[Shoalzie]

Doesn't TSN usually show it?

[dave1959]

My .5% is going to take it....

As we've explained and done in the past, to ensure accurate odds and identical process as the NHL, we match our outcomes to the NHL's.

What are you saying??

[Bruyns]

If you finish 4th last and the NHL team in 4th last wins the lottery so do you.

[Nick]

30 BBKL = DET
30 NHL = X

29 BBKL = DAL
29 NHL = Y

etc..


if Y wins the NHL lottery as shown on TSN, Dallas wins it in the BBKL

[dave1959]

Sooooo...my .5% is going to take it.

[kyuss]

My .5% is going to take it....

confidence is a nice thing.

I still have 3 times your chances of taking it, though.

[Shoalzie]

We'll match you up with the NHL team following their season but here's the lottery odds based on our positions:

Detroit.....25.0%
Dallas.....18.8%
Carolina (rights owned by STL).....14.2%
Vancouver (rights owned by BUF).....10.7%
Edmonton.....8.1%
Calgary.....6.2%
Philadelphia.....4.7%
Buffalo (rights owned by COL).....3.6%
Winnipeg (rights owned by PHI).....2.7%
Phoenix.....2.1%
Ottawa (rights owned by NSH).....1.5%
Washington (rights owned by PHI).....1.1%
Columbus.....0.8%
New Jersey (rights owned by TOR).....0.5%

yes!!

[Sensfanjosh]

So hypothetically speaking if the lottery were to follow the current standings, and DET and DAL miss GP, CAR 1st which Shep owns becomes 1st overall right?

[Shoalzie]

Hitting 1100 games is within reach...don't worry about me. It does suck that we don't get a chance to change our lineups on Monday.
