Rasmus_ Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Also, this entire thread is cynicism correct. Harrington is a blundering maroon who is right twice a day because he's a broken clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Thanks John. (Yes, I'm stoked that I indirectly asked a question at the Sabres press conference lol) So if the Sharks miss the playoffs, we don’t get the first next season, assuming we are getting the first at all. “In the lottery” or “Lottery protected” just makes it more confusing. And isn’t it still the Sharks choice? If they are “in the lottery” next season and get 14th, couldn’t they choose to still send the pick?

Lottery protection usually refers to said team moving into the Top 3 Picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Lottery protection usually refers to said team moving into the Top 3 Picks. "Usually" probably isn't the right choice of words. This is a practice that has existed for all of two years at this point, isn't it? I don't remember ever hearing it in the NHL up until they started drafting the first 3 slots.

dudacek Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Wawrow says pretty clearly “if the Sharks are in the lottery next year” If they miss the playoffs, they are in the lottery. So we need the Sharks to win the cup this year, miss the playoffs next year and finish last the year after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Lottery protection usually refers to said team moving into the Top 3 Picks. Right. Which makes the “lottery protected” clause in this case even more confusing, as it’s apparently referring to something different. Wawrow says pretty clearly “if the Sharks are in the lottery next year” If they miss the playoffs, they are in the lottery. So we need the Sharks to win the cup this year, miss the playoffs next year and finish last the year after. I still think the Sharks would have the option of sending the pick anyways, say they miss the playoffs and are scheduled to draft 11-15, and want to plan for a rebuild the following year and want THAT pick.
