    GMJB's job has to be on the line. He needs to tell Aquaman to fuck off for a year.

    Lot of green out there still but he’s definitely a top selection. Isn’t there a kid in Sweden that’s supposed to be a top 1C?

    Yeah

    Anton Lundell is a Finn and he's a C/LW. The Swedish kid Raymond is a wing.

    Gotcha thanks. Seems to be a few W’s near the top of next years draft. Supposedly a much deeper draft than this year but let’s see how the year plays out. Sens need a home run or two over the next 2 drafts... they’ve built up their depth but too many of the team in the divi have superstar level talent.

    The Sens need to get a top 4 OA pick.

    Most important is to get a top centre. Sens will suck over the next 2 years so nows the chance.

    it really sucks how North American sports fans need to root for their teams to lose and give away seasons in order to be able to become contenders.

    I’d rather cheer for my team to succeed. But until we get a new owner this team will always be stuck down near the bottom due to his decision making process. Every move is made in his financial best interests to afford his lifestyle. Has nothing to do with putting the Sens in a position to win or compete or to be financially responsible. As such, it’s the only ray of sunshine Sens fans can have.

    it's not just the Sens though. we have posters in here that root for the Rangers and Canucks who said the thing they want most out of next year is a high pick. that's awful.

    just a comment on North American sports in general.

    We know the Canucks and Rangers aren't playoff teams next year. Filling team holes with bad UFA contracts on rebuilding teams doesn't make sense and fucks over their team's future.

    Can always be like Euro Soccer where only a handful of teams have a shot and the rest live in this middle of nowhere hell where staying out of being kicked out of the league is a cause for celebration.

    I've really struggled with this since the wings fell off. It felt fucked up that i was annoyed all the kids played so well down the stretch and went on a winning streak. All because it screws lottery odds

    MLB is the closest. if they treated all incoming players like they did internationals I don't think much would change.

    A flatter lottery system would be about the only thing, and they've done that over the years.

    The problem is you can have some truly bad teams, who need talent get screwed and some pretty good teams who barely missed the playoffs get lucky and get elite talent.

    I like how the system is now - nothing is perfect, but this is pretty good

    The other issue with sports is people want to be elite or they want to be trash so they can try and be elite. Its not good enough to be a contender and see how it works out. Basketball really has adopted this mentality especially with teams like the Sixers. NFL to an extent will do this just not as noticeable because of the shorten season. Baseball does this more often. The Cubs tanked for years and became a champion. White Sox currently doing the same process. Its a new mindset that front offices have taken and the sport fan has run with. Now instead of wanting to win every game you cheer for a competitive game you lose.

    I don't belive you have a solution via changing the draft or how an off season system would work. If there is one I haven't read about it. Its just the new way of doing business in this sports age we live in.

    It needs to be a tiered lotto system with taking standings into account over 3-5 years.

    I would love to see teams play each other in a tournament for draft picks. Players would say fuck that though.

    There’s no perfect system but what they have now isn’t too bad imo. You can tank all you want and still only get the #3 or #4 pick. When it’s too random you over reward the almost made playoffs teams, which is unfair in itself too.

    The Gould Plan should be the standard for lottery odds in any sport.

    The team with the most points from the time they are mathematically eliminated gets best odds. It takes incentive out of tanking but it still doesn’t cripple truly terrible teams eliminated in early March.

    Never heard of this before, still not perfect because it can favor/hurt conferences but I like it.

    Get that and 3 point regulation wins in the NHL and we'll have a stew going.

    Friedman on his podcast says he’s hearing the Avs want to make a run at Panarin.

    Also he expects the Isles to make their best shot at Bob and Panarin.

    listening to that as well. from a strictly on ice perspective, Colorado makes all the sense in the world for Panarin. Thankfully, Denver is the exact opposite of a coastal metropolis.

    Colorado with panarin would be dumb good, why go to shitty Florida when you can go to Colorado? Assuming they can pay him, which I believe they can because mackinnon is paid under 7 a year lol

    And Pettersson did not drop, he was just not that great of a prospect when the draft happened. He was actually a great prospect because he went top five but he should’ve been number one. He developed later

    This guy would’ve been top 3 if he was not Russian and under contract in the khl

    avs have 35 million in cap space with a few RFAs to sign. I think when it's all said and done, they will have about 12ish million to chase panarin with.
