yes

awesome!!

[Shoalzie]

I wouldn't imagine why we wouldn't mimic the new lottery system. We've always mimicked the NHL lottery results in past years.

It's going to be a very interesting draw this year. I really hope it's not chalk...to see a team outside the top 5 or 10 sneak into the top 3 would be kinda cool. As long as I get #1 of course.

[Shoalzie]

To look at the odds another way since Dallas owns 3 lottery picks, the true odds of getting #1 overall:

Dallas 22.5%
Detroit 20%
Winnipeg 11.5%
Arizona 9.5%
New Jersey 8.5%
San Jose 7.5%
Winnipeg 6%
Vancouver 5%
Florida 3.5%
Edmonton 3%
Toronto 2%
Columbus 1%

If Dallas wins Mcdavid + Matthews he would be the bbkl version of the Edmonton Oilers of the NHL.

Has anyone won multiple 1sts in bbkl since it inception?

[Lee]

Just saying that Krug is available for 1st overall.

[Matthew]

Lmao.

[thom54]

Brayden Schenn for 1st overall

[Shoalzie]

I'll just say this right now, I'm not trading my pick...I intend to make a selection. But I'm not saying I won't trade the guy I draft.

[thom54]

phfff we all know 1st overall is an american.

[Arian The Insider]

3%? Fuck

I picked Tavares & Hall.

[bills09]

Alex Pietrangelo for 1st overall

[Shoalzie]

The draft order will come into shape after today. Picks 15-26 will be determined after these next playoff eliminations.

[Shoalzie]

The order for playoff teams (rounds 1-7) based on the first two rounds of eliminations:

15. St. Louis
16. Tampa Bay
17. Vancouver
18. Montreal
19. Calgary
20. Colorado
21. Washington
22. Pittsburgh
23. Nashville
24. Boston
25. Chicago
26. Buffalo

[Arian The Insider]

I thought 15-22 was based on first round exits, 23-26 based on 2nd round exits and 27-30 for 3rd round exits + runner up + champ. Maybe I'm just confusing it with the past rule.

[foofnik]

15-26 is reverse standings order of all teams to lose from the first 2 rounds combined. So if a bottom seed gets lucky and wins one round but then gets stomped in the 2nd round they still keep their higher draft spot. 27+28 are the semi finals losers, 29 the finals loser, 30 the champ.
