bbb Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I've seen the chart before but can't find it right now. I believe we can't pick at 4 but odds for 1st 2nd and 3rd are: 3%, 3.5% and 4% respectively. Now I could be slightly off but that's close to accurate at worst. The chart above says 6% for the 1st pick? We have a 19.1% chance of moving up to top 3. 6% for #1 Ah, you posted at the same time. Got it - that's pretty good!
QCity Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Yeah I'm feeling lucky, I say we nab the 3-spot and Win A Fin.
McBeane Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 The chart above says 6% for the 1st pick? Yeah I screwed it up a bit. Here's the link that has the odds for every team and every pick. Can't seem to get the picture to attach it here so I have to just leave the link. http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2016/4/10/11396278/2016-nhl-draft-lottery-final-rules-and-odds-table

Like QCity, I'm feeling lucky to get in that top 3! We had a 25% chance and lost, then a 20% chance and lost. I say the law of averages is going to give us one!
26CornerBlitz Posted May 1, 2016 Author Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) The Sabres will pick 8th in the 2016 NHL draft. Toronto wins the Lottery and will pick 1st in the NHL. Get ready for Eichel vs. Matthews! Edited May 1, 2016 by 26CornerBlitz
QCity Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Soooo what are the odds Tkachuk or Nylander fall to 8th? F*&king lottery
thebug Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 fixed Sure.....like the last 8 out 21 times the team with the best odds won.
zevo Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Sure.....like the last 8 out 21 times the team with the best odds won. can't stand the smugness of shanahan.....Matthews seemed none to pleased that he is going to Toronto....can't say I blame him.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 1, 2016 Author Posted May 1, 2016 @BuffaloSabres Order is set for the top of the 2016 @NHL Draft in Buffalo. Updates from tonight's lottery: http://bufsabres.co/dXuPOd
Doc Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 can't stand the smugness of shanahan.....Matthews seemed none to pleased that he is going to Toronto....can't say I blame him. Yeah, the "mixed emotions" comments was funny.

You mean like McDavid? He was almost in tears last year and seemed to do pretty well? These kids hope to go to their home team. they are always a little shocked. understandable. Yeah, the "mixed emotions" comments was funny. He's from Arizona and let it be known that he grew up watching shane Doan and Daniel briere. He's a big Coyote's fan. I would expect mixed emotions.

Rubes Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 I've never paid attention to the NHL draft before recently...are there no big trades up into the top 3 like in the NFL? Any chance the Sabres could package some of their draft booty to move up?

Any chance the Sabres could package some of their draft booty to move up? Almost none. There is no way any team trades out of the top three.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 1, 2016 Author Posted May 1, 2016 @Sportsnet With the #NHLDraftLottery over, @DamoSpin is ready with a full first round mock draft. http://sprtsnt.ca/1WyLxJ0 8. Buffalo Sabres: Jakob Chychrun, D, Sarnia (OHL) 6-2, 194 lbs To many scouts, but not all, Chychrun is the No. 2 defenceman available in the draft. The Sabres might feel differently, but going for blue-line help makes the most sense for GM Tim Murray.

JM57 Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Juolevi would make a great pairing with Ristolainen eventually. Chychrun wouldn't be bad either.
thebug Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Juolevi would make a great pairing with Ristolainen eventually. Chychrun wouldn't be bad either. I could see the Oilers at #4 taking Juolevi, but yah never know!
