2019-2020 NHL Season Thread (1 Viewer)

@charlieo_conn: This whole thing is both objectively hilarious and insanely stupid, so in other words it's basically peak NHL

 
You sure? Ron maclean just said that the rangers can still win the cup and get #1.

I'm not sure he's correct but nobody on air corrected him.

:shrug:
If Carolina wins 1, there is no way Toronto will get a top 10 pick even if they lose in the play in round 

The Rangers get the lesser pick of Carolina and Toronto, BUT Torontos is top 10 protected. so the only way Rangers get 1st pick is to lose.

i think this is inaccurate.  rangers win and leafs and canes lose.  rangers get worse pick, as canes hold the leafs pick, BUT, the leaf pick is top 10 protected meaning leafs keep the pick and canes get leafs 2021 1st.  without the leafs pick in 2020, the rangers get the canes 1.  leafs just need the 9 or 10 in phase 2 of the lottery.  i think.

No. The rest of the teams are in order by winning percentage. Worst the leafs can do if the lose in play in is 12. If the Leafs dont win 1, there is no way they can be 9 or 10. So Rangers beat Canes , leafs lose and Canes get 1, Rangers get Toronto pick at 12 and their own

i think the 8 losers are not slotted....i think the 8 losers have a 2nd lottery, which is why 1 of them can could will get the 1.  i think.

 
Of all the ways for that to play out, it did so in the worst manner. How does a playoff team get first overall?
Technically they aren't playoff teams. It's a play-in round,  not a playoff round.  Not saying I am ok with it, just saying they aren't in the playoffs until they win that preliminary round. Technicality? Probably.

 
i’m wrong.  the 8 losers have an equal shot at 1, then are seeded 9-15 based on win % or point % or something.  leafs can only get to 11 or 12.  canes are outside the 10 too.  so, rangers have a 12.5 chance at the 1 if they lose to the canes.  prolly better odds than winning the cup sadly.

 
I just wish people would make up their minds on which team the draft lottery conspiracy theory is supposed to favor:

Penguins

Oilers

Leafs

Canadiens

Blackhawks

Rangers

Coyotes

Did I forget anyone?

(Who are we kidding? Of course it’s the Penguins or Oilers.)

As long as it's no one in the central I do not care.

 
The idea that players will tank so an 18 year old kid can immediately take one of their jobs is dumb. 
not players, but GMs.  especially if they don’t have expectations pressure.

players have plenty of separate motivation to not have to be in a bubble for months for practically no financial incentive.

I don't think teams would tank from the get-go but i think teams that lost 2 of first 3 could fold easily with plenty of available excuses.

Fair enough, but there is now the very real possibility that a team that would have qualified for the playoffs in a normal season, if they lose, now have a chance at going 1st overall. That's my issue, the draft is ostensibly to make bad teams better, not widen the gap.

All the experts are saying this draft is 8-12 very good players deep.  Not that big of an issue here IMO. 

 GB, I see your obsession with #1 rankings continues  :D

 
FBG Mock Draft...

So pretty much the first three appear to be a lock.

1) Unknown takes Lafreniere

2) LA takes Byfield

3) OTT takes Stutzle

4) DET - any of the DET guys here wanna make this pick?

5) OTT - @Bill Brasky can make this pick. I think he lives the closest to Ottawa.

6) ANA -  I will make this pick.

7) NJ - anyone can claim this pick.

😎 BUFF -   @Aaron Rudnicki can make this pick.


After the Det guys settle on a pick, then Brasky can make pick 5.

In fairness, the Lightning have no chance at the pick anyway, but the league chose the dumbest way to run the lottery.

Yzerman has shown he'll go off the board but I think reasonably it will be a C, either Rossi or Perfetti

 
@TSNBobMcKenzie: Barring any last-minute complications, and we have seen some of those (Vancouver and Las Vegas), the two NHL Hub cities will be Edmonton and Toronto. 🇨🇦

 
I should probably just bookmark this ####### thread. Every once in a while I remember I haven’t been back here to visit you guys and I type in football guys or whatever and it brings me to a webpage in which I have to actually seek out and find a click to send me to the football guys “home page” so that I can then click into the ffa forum. That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen on the internet that you have to actually find the link on the actual web page you are on to get to the actual web page you want. How meta. #### this place. 

Anyway I love that most of this thread is people dissecting a way for the rangers to get the 1st overall pick and also win the cup. There is no way I’m reading all that garbage.

glad hockey might be back soonish. Seems like they chose Canadian cities. Smart for many obvious reasons. You all are gonna lose. The Blues are your new master. Suck it. 

 
The NHL produced an update on the league's latest round of COVID-19 testing results on Monday. 

"As of Monday, July 6, the NHL has had 396 Players report to Club training/practice facilities for optional participation in Phase 2 activities," the NHL said in a statement. "There have been in excess of 2,900 COVID-19 tests administered (including more than 1,400 this past week) to this group of Players. Those tests have resulted in a total of 23 returning confirmed positive test results for COVID-19. In addition, since June 8 (the opening of Phase 2), the League is aware of 12 additional Players who have tested positive for COVID-19 outside of the Phase 2 Protocol. All Players who have tested positive have been self-isolated and are following CDC and Health Canada protocols." This means that nine new players have tested positive for COVID-19 over the last week.

Anyone else feeling like this is a nice preseason tourney as opposed to a Stanley Cup culmination?
