You do realize that's a gigantic change, right?
It think it's worse than it is now. The last place team (or 2nd or 3rd last) could pick 4th? What justice is there in that?
Let's say you finish in 4th, 3 teams behind you get the top 3 picks. Suddenly you're picking 7th. Fair? Hardly. I hate draft lottery systems because it means you have to get lucky to improve your team. They don't do it in football and it's worked fine for decades in the NHL.
-
All they're doing is making the first 3 lottery picks. Same odds tho if you finish last you could pick 4th.They should write the NHL and thank them. Because they're changing the system next year.
Comeback complete as the Sabres erase a two goal deficit to take a commanding 3-2 lead in the third.

BUF @ OTT
BUF who began March with 3-0 victory over TB, look to improve to 2-0 on their current 4 game road swing. Ocho Cinco gets the nod between the pipes. Meanwhile, OTT has been putrid of late, going 2-7-1 over their past 10. They'll ride the ice cold Andrew Hammond who has been an absolute sieve, recording a 1.35 GAA and 0.957 SV% over his last 8 games.
EDM @ CHI
EDM 6-3-1 in their last 10, look to avoid a 2 game losing streak against CHI tonight at the madhouse on Madison. CHI 3-5-2 in their last 10 are looking ahead to their matchup on Sun vs the NYR. This is a trap game. I'd be shocked if EDM did not lose this game.
-
Yotes were due. Still 7 of their next 8 at home... Need to lose at least 3 of those, while Buffalo goes on a winning streak here with a road heavy schedule.
-
VAN @ ARI
VAN coming off a 6-2 win at home vs SJS on Tuesday. VAN goalie Jacob Markstrom was the hero, allowing 3 goals on his first 4 shots before being pulled.
Winners of 10 straight, ARI is due for a loss here. VAN has won the last two games they've played in ARI, failing to score in both contests. VAN is also dealing with some injuries and are comfortably in 2nd place in the Pacific. Not much on the line for them, they could be looking ahead to their rematch in San Jose this weekend.
-
Based on what? Arizona has the worst home record in the league and is much better on the road this year...
So what you're sayibg is that they're due for some home Wins.
-
The rest of the way:
Arizona's opponents are a combined 596-421-125. Only two games against a team with a losing record... And they're both against us.
Edmonton's opponents are a combined 555-437-147. Four games against teams with a losing record (Columbus twice, Toronto, Carolina).
Buffalo's opponents are a combined 547-460-136. Six games against teams with a losing record (Toronto twice, Arizona twice, Columbus, Carolina).
ARI is at home for 8 of their next 10. BUF only has 4 home games in March. That evens out the difficulty of the opponents.
-
I agree but teams routinely sit stars leading up to the playoffs to rest them. Days off to mend sore bones etc. This stuff happens all the time so if the team were to sit i.e. healthy scratch certain players I don't see the league doing anything of consequence about it.
Mystery injuries to their top players and goalie.
-
Lindback is looking like the front runner for the Golden Sieve. Chad Johnson will get his chance, but Lindback has all the tools needed to make a run down the stretch here. Scrivens and Smith are also in the running, but both have too much experience, they'll struggle to compete with the dynamic duo in Buffalo.
-
Fun fact: Wednesday is the only day for the rest of the year where no current carrion members play. After that at least one of the bottom five (Buffalo, Edmonton, Arizona, Toronto, Carolina) plays every night for the rest of the season.
Fun indeed.
-
Like a Leafs-Sabres game at the FNC? I can't see it ever getting to the point where the fans cheer an opponent goal and boo a Sabres goal. But i've been wrong before...
They should have McDavid and Eichel do the ceremonial puck drop before each game.
-
We've reached the bottom floor of the rebuild. They don't really have any assets (other than prospects) to trade for any value in return.
It's onward and upward from here. A rebuild done the right way, I, for one, will enjoy the ride.
-
OK so now we can think about resigning Stewart?
No

Zona plays 9 of their next 10 at home. Buffalo plays only 4 hone games in March.
Zona still has Gagner, Doan, OEL, and Hanzal on their roster. Yandel was a defensive liability, he scored some, but is a -32. I don't think their moves thus far are going to make them significantly worse, let alone worse than the lineup Buffalo may have.
-
Another angle to all of this is that if Buffalo ends up getting the 2nd or 3rd pick, they have the assets to move up if they feel the need. It would have to be a lot, but looking at the needs in ARI and EDM, they might be willing to move down if the return is significant. Think picks plus D prospects plus others.... Assets the Sabres have that EDM and ARI don't. So in my mind it's not over until the draft actually happens.
-
Eichel is leading the NCAA in scoring across the entire country as a true freshman in a league wherr most freshman at already 20 years old.
McDavid is playing against teenagers.
100pts in 38 games is impressive but what Eichel is doing is just as impressive IMO. Both will be dominant.
-
Hopefully it's nothing serious like some untreatable heart condition. Hockey career could be in jeopardy if it is.
-
Everything is gonna be OK. Things were gonna tighten up in Feb, that was expected. The trade deadline can't come soon enough, and with 9 of 13 on the road in March we'll have a stranglehold on the top spot.
-
So let me get this straight....
The Kings D is Regehr, McBain, McNabb, and now Sekera?
-
Should also be noted this is right after winning the Beanpot tournament a few nights ago.... here's a few more:

Rough night for the CHL elite. EDM, BUF, CAR all lose. ARI gains some ground with a win on the Island.
Trade deadline looming, ice cold netminders, injuries, outrageous saves from 8th string tendys.... These are certainly interesting times in the CHL.

Grigorenko is out injured so he won't be called up this week. He could be back this weekend tho.

Nice. Starting to get some separation. I expect them to stretch out their lead over the next two weeks.
