well to be fair, Ehlers is a year older than Konecny not to mention taken 9th in the draft and Trouba, while the same age as Ghost, was taken 9th while ghost was taken in the 3rd round.

I am not saying Flyer prospects are better or worse, just saying Winnipeg started their process sooner. - Glak18

CBJ - PIT would be an awesome matchup, but it would be awesome if the Blue Jackets ended up with the President's Trophy and forced WSH - PIT to play

I am sure it was mentioned...but that Konecny goal and eventual Schenn goal moved their current draft odds from 10th to 12th

They're going to be picking around 12th no matter what. It's not like they can get down to 6 or 7. Lowest they could realistically get is 9.

Yeah I know. I've said that all along. 9th doubles their odds at a top 3 pick though (from 12th)

It's ok. The Flyers play the game the right way.

I'm reminded of another team that played the game the right way. It was the Philadelphia Phillies, helmed by one of the all time great sports minds, Charlie Manuel. It was the last game of the regular season against the Braves. And because they played the game the right way, they pulled out all the stops to win said game and let the St Louis Cardinals into the playoffs and matched up with them the first round.

Whether the phillies ultimately won or lost was not important. At least they played the game the right way.

It's still not really a significant chance though. I guess bookmark this for when the 9th seed wins. Also, I think everyone will be bumped down, so they'll really be 10th.

Haha why would they be bumped down? Odds say they won't be. But yeah...TB will probably slut a top 3 pick from 14th or something just because

So you think they should've intentionally lost the game?

No I mean because of Vegas. If they finish with the 9th worst record, it's really the 10th worst because Vegas slots in at 3 I believe.

Sorry. I just wrote 3 papers in 3 days, so I'm a little burnt out.

Well the powerball works a little differently than the NHL draft lottery...but I get what you're saying

You think they can jump the Jets or Sabres? They have a shot if they lose in regulation tonight. Any other circumstance and I think it's difficult to jump the Jets. Sabres are going to be hard to jump as well. They'd need to really suck down the stretch.

Friedman to report to the phantoms. Anyone know if it's an ATO or is he burning a year off of his elc?
