There's always a first. This is the first time I've seen the standings in reverse. And you look at how many games teams have lost in a row as measure of success. So I see Chicago is doing great with a nice losing streak and San Jose is blowing it by winning 3 games in a row. You can do better than that! Or is it worse than that.
I know the lottery was created to reduce the likelihood of teams tanking for the #1 choice. But it seems a third of the league thinks it's worthwhile OR they're really that bad! Maybe it's a deep draft and there are some pearls available for picks 1 to 5?

Maybe it's a deep draft and there are some pearls available for picks 1 to 5? From what I know, the top 4 in the draft are all considered really good prospects. Really, a lottery actually just increases the chances of teams tanking, in my opinion. If it was the last place team that got Bedard this year, there would be 3, maybe 4, teams in the running for him at this point. With the lottery, it now keeps 11 teams in the hunt. Even without a bounty like Bedard being available, the salary cap era has shown that getting multiple top 5 overall draft picks in a short span is the way to go. Did an article about it on the old Jets fan site I was on and believe my research showed 76% of Cup winners have had at least three top 5 picks in a 5 year period in the years leading up to their championship. If I remember correctly, 50% of the teams that met that criteria ended up winning Lord Stanley's trophy ( though some of the teams that have failed are just getting started like Ottawa/Buffalo and others like Edmonton/Toronto are still working on it). |

Maybe it's a deep draft and there are some pearls available for picks 1 to 5? The last place team can only finish with the #3 pick at worst. Adam Fantilli is the Jack Eichel of 2023 (a #1 overall player in most years, but behind Bedard). Fantilli will be a franchise player. So whoever finishes in last place, has a 66.7% chance of landing a top star. |

Edmonton had a top 5 pick (and #1 overall picks 4 times) in 7 years (2010-16). Pittsburgh had a top 5 pick (and #1 overall pciks 2 times) in 5 years (2002-07) These are the only teams that really had the benefit of drafting consecutive top 5 players in 5 years. The Leafs and Blackhawks managed to have some lean years, but not close to Edmonton and Pittsburgh. |

I just finished posting that article on here, since the site it is on will no longer be active shortly....give it a read if you have time. Cheers. |

Connor Bedard is insane. He has 11 goals and 8 assists (19 points) in 6 playoff games. These stats are ridiculous, when we consider the mediocre Regina team he plays for. Game 7 against Saskatoon is on Monday.
