Strow Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Now Im not 100% on this but lets say the sabres win the cup and get the last pick which now goes to the caps and the Flyers finish the season dead last so they get the first pick. So really we trade the last pick in the first round for the first pick in the second round. Not a huge deal or change in talent there. Maybe I am not reading it right or missing details.

Strow Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 that makes the jiri trade that much better. I don't know how people can hate on this trade. Also say you lose drury or Danny Bierie and you re sign zubrius. Thats not lossing too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sabres win the Cup they would have owned the final pick in the first round however where the Flyers will draft will be determined by a weighted draft lottery however as I understand it the lowest pick they'd get would be the 2nd pick. As under the NHL lottery system, the five teams with the fewest points have a chance to win the first overall selection. No team can move up more than four spots and no team could move down more than one and being the Flyers have the worst record in the league that tells me they can't pick any lower then pick #2.

Two or less Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 If the Sabres win the Cup they would have owned the final pick in the first round however where the Flyers will draft will be determined by a weighted draft lottery however as I understand it the lowest pick they'd get would be the 2nd pick.

Does the lottery effect the later rounds or is it only for round 1 and then the order is set worst to best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
