The Rangers are in it for the number one pick.

Not if the Rangers lose to Carolina and end up with the number one pick.

Csnucks loss wouldnt hurt as much anymore

Potential 2028 V.P. Selection
Lafreniere will probably end up with Piitsburgh, Montreal, or NYI. Pittsburgh always has the lottery luck, Bettman would love to give a French star to Montreal, the commisioner is an Islanders fan. With all that said the Rangers could be a juggernaut with Lafreniere to go along with their young core.

LA getting 2 is big imo
Byfield is a stud, and hes black, which then league has needed for a long time for marketing

Detroit got fucked
I know the feeling, canucks got fucked like 3 drafts in a row, being bottom 3 in league and picking 5th at the highest

Hockey will never be popular with blacks regardless of how good Byfield is.

The league has had Iginla, Subban, and even Kane in recent memory as marketable black stars. What you talking ‘bout Willis?

In LA
Not, Calgary, montreal, or winnipeg for where they started their careers
They have had plenty of black players, have a ton of black fans too disagree with brewers there

Everyone got fucked. Now a team can just tank a series, get back on vacation like they want anyway, and possibly end up with a stud. It’s the worst possible outcome for the worst possible draft decision they could have initially made.

They arent in the playoffs
It's a play in, they are playing to get in
If the league just went to the playoffs all those teams would be eligible for the lottery and would have won the lotto

Why would the players tank?

It’s not the “playoffs” though. At least that’s what they’ll tell ya. The NHL has bought into the leftist agenda and simply changing the definitions of words as is so common these days. No shit.

Ya but this part happens every year
Flyers won the lotto from like 12th position for nolan patrick

If you think the setup is bullshit that's fine
But this year isnt a change

Montreal is a legitimate lottery team.
jedi ninja
Larry the liberal
Because they really don’t wanna come back to begin with, and think their team really doesn’t have a chance to win anyway?
What about an organization deciding to suddenly have half the team test positive for COVID and do it that way?
The fact either of those things are even possible is a fucking joke.

Traded to carolina to dump Marleau

Of course it’s a change. Some teams are still playing and some aren’t. The format clearly isn’t the same or they wouldn’t have a 2nd lottery about to happen in a couple of months.

There wont be 1 player out there tanking
That's whinging to say it
If a team sits half their squad, or the pens announce sid and geno are out then there will be something to it

Yeah Detroit was one of the worst teams in league history.
guaranteeed
Pretty much a regular
Same amount of teams were in the lottery, same amount will make the playoffs
They couldnt just start the playoffs, or not give the teams that dont make the playoffs no chance

Detroit may as well wait out another 2 years for shane wright

Again, the fact it’s even a possibility is a fucking joke. There was no reason to not simply wait until the play in round was over to hold the lottery. Except to once again prove how fucking inept the league is, of course.

Potential 2028 V.P. Selection
This was definitely a stupid process but I'm going to enjoy Lafreniere in a Rangers uniform.

Some teams are still playing, some aren’t. The end.
What happens if that team makes the playoffs?

In all seriousness unless the Rangers have a virus outbreak there is no way they are losing to Carolina.
jedi ninja
Larry the liberal
They can’t. The 8 teams that lose in the “qualifying round” are the only ones with a chance.

Except Carolina, since theynhave the leafs pick, so if leafs lose hurricanes make playoffs and have a chance
