Their odds of getting 1 or 2 aren't even all that great this year from what I understand. Poor Sixers fans.

30% chance of landing in the top 2. 53% chance of getting two picks in the top 6.

If Simmons and Embiid are relatively healthy this season. They, along with Sarich, make the Sixers a pretty solid bet to make the playoffs IMO.

Big IF I know......

The big thing is Embiid's health. When he plays, he's a top 15-20 player in the league already. The team is just so young though. It's hard to win in the NBA with such a young team. The T'Wolves experienced that last year.

I think either way we are getting a potential #1 center. It definitely puts the timetable further along than it was last month.

I attempted to play with what the roster could look like next season. Forwards are still hot garbage. I think Vegas would be smart to take Raffl. I don't want Read, Filppula or anyone else I just read with one more deal or less left over.

I like to think that Lindblom is in there somewhere along with Vecchione.

I can't say with Vecchione because he's brand spanking new and I drafted. I didn't think he stood out in game 81.

I really believe we're getting Nolan Patrick. I think the Devils need explosive offense, I would be turned off by the Patrick injuries somewhat and I think they have a Patrick in Pavel Zacha.

Vecchione is a real x factor for the bottom 6. If he can come in and contribute it will give them lots of options of where to go with other guys. Way too early to tell though.

And yeah, I agree with all those reason why the Devils should take Nico over Nolan. But this is the Devils we're talking about. They don't always make the most sense.(I mentioned this before but I still cannot believe they took Zacha over Provorov)

An Ek rumor is an Ek rumor. But I can't help thinking Duclair is an I interesting possibility. I would just love to see players like Read, Raffl, etc. upgraded in the offseason.

Well you've got Lindblom for that, don't you. They'll have Jake, Simmonds, Schenn, Konecny and Lindblom. If we got Duclair I just feel like he would add to the log jam of guys fighting for 4th line roles at this point.

Meh. Maybe if you want to bring in Duclair as the 4th line LW. I honestly don't see any reason why he would be getting more ice time than Schenn or Lindblom. I also very much doubt Nico or Nolan are playing 4C if they make the team. Nico would probably start on the wing if he makes it. Nolan as the 3C.

Is there anyone out there worth packaging the 2nd pick and a defensive prospect for in a trade? Say a Drouin or something???

I'd prefer Hischier or Patrick over Drouin
