    The fact that the 1001st combination is a possibility, reduces the odds of all teams by 0.02%. They're not removing the possibility of that number coming up, so it must be factored in.

    So Buffalo gets 200 out of 1001 combinations, which is 19.98%..... NOT 20% as the league is advertising. If Buffalo loses the lottery we can file a class action lawsuit against the league for defrauding the fans out of a 0.02% chance at McDavid.

    Tomorrow the NHL will publish the list of lottery numbers to teams. I'm interested to see what team gets the 1001st combination... if any.

    For me it was the Miller/Ott trade. You knew the tank was real at that moment, and seeing Vinz on a jersey was a sign of things to come.

    Based on this I prefer Eichel.... ..can McDavid do that? This goes back to the whole "Eichel is playing against men and McDavid is playing against teenagers" argument. I think Eichel jumps right in and conributes immediately in a big way due to his strength and size. McDavid probably gets pushed around a bit until he fills out in a few seasons.

    Burbank!

    This why Bettman will give us McDavid.

    There's a better chance of them trading down to two than being able to trade up to two.

    Grigorenko and Reinhart will be in Roch to start the season. Larsson earned his spot. Reinhart needs his man body. McEichel Larsson Girgensons Ellis

    OK, "d4rksabre".

    All NCAA sports programs have tutors to make sure all the school work is done and whatnot... it's just part of the program. I find it very hard to believe he's not up to snuff academically. In fact, here's an actual source which indicates he's trying to figure out a way to take his exams and still play in the World Championships in early May.... http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2015/04/12/report-eichel-invited-to-join-team-usa-at-worlds/

    bogus The only thing I could find was a reddit post with somebody claiming to hear it from Jack himself that he had a 0.9 GPA and was on academic probation... with no source to back it up other than "from the horses mouth". So yeah, let's start spreading rumors that he's a dunce.... nice.

    Like I said, it's not a black or white thing. It's a materialistic thing... so yeah, call me materialist-ist. Anybody here doesn't think Evander Kane is materialistic? C'mon!
  15. pi2000
    source?

    Who's the racist? I know a lot of white people who like gold chains and Air Jordans.... jesus, it's not like I said fried chicken and watermelon.
  17. pi2000
    How is that racist? Kane likes the bling and all that stuff, so he would probably take that as payment for the number. Last year Eichel front-squatted 320 pounds, cleaned 335 pounds, had a close-grip bench press of 250 pounds, a pull-up max of 25 reps, with a a body fat percentage of 6.3 percent. Here he is two years ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F51ngAUi4JE I think he'll take whatever number he wants.
  18. pi2000
    Evander Kane can off. Eichel gets #9. He can give him a gold chain or pair of Air Jordans for it.
  19. pi2000
    You're reading too much into this. Murray didn't hire him. He did thank "management". At least he issued a statement and thanked people, unlike LaFontaine and his disappearing act.
  20. pi2000
    With McEichel in the fold, I think one or both of Larsson or Grigorenko getmoved in a deal for a big burly winger who can put up 15-20 geno's.... like a Scott Stevens (Mario) or Craig Simpson (Gretzky). Maybe that guy is Foligno, who knows, but With McEichel, Reinhart and Girgensons down the middle, there's extra pieces to flip for help at wing.... or a veteran quarterback for the PP, to tutor the young guys.

    https://www.bostonherald.com/sports/college/on_campus/2015/04/jack_eichels_plans_unknown_after_bu_loss “It would be another great year of development, college hockey and life with coach (David) Quinn,” Eichel said. “There are positives to it any way you look at it. At the end of the day, when a decision has to be made, I will make it with my family and with my heart. I don’t want to be somewhere that I don’t want to be.”
  22. pi2000
    GMTM is a scout at heart. IMO he wants an experienced head coach and will give him plenty of leash... So somebody like Babcock would be a perfect fit. And I don't believe for one second that Murray thought this would be a 30th place team after adding some pieces in the off season.
  23. pi2000
    John Muckler HC. Trade Grigorenko, 2016 1st, to move up from 2 to 1 draft Eichel first, who then decides to stay in school. Pysyk retires. Trade Foligno for Ryan Miller.
  24. pi2000
    My kids are waiting for the draft lottery before picking their jersey numbers for spring league hockey.

    Jack Eichel is not your typical star athlete. Based on his history I expect him to return to BU for one more season. And I'm OK with that.
