Can someone with a better brain than mine explain what’s going on?

I thought only the 8 teams that didn’t qualify for the playoffs but qualify for the play-in are the ones with the shot at the top pick?

It's whoever loses the play in games. Those 8 teams. 9-24 are in it.

No players are going to tank when they could get a chance for the Cup. But --- some team has a 1 in 8 chance at Lafreniere and they could easily qualify if they run into a hot goalie or a weird bounce.

If your team is down 2 games to nothing in the first round, the GM is probably focusing on his chance at Lafreniere

Ah so I just misunderstood. I thought it was only for the 8 teams that were granted the privilege of a shot at the play in rounds. 
 

So you meant any of those 16 teams, not 8 as you wrote.

I'm more angry a play in loser gets 1st than Buffalo dropping to 8th.

Same. I don't mind dropping much other than the fact it's a gross number to look at. It's been garbage for this franchise in the draft.

Still hope we trade it.

I thought I read that they'd scrap these results entirely and do it all again. But don't quote me on it

They said teams 17-24 would be in it, all equal odds.

So we dropped one.  Go figure.  No shot at a top player to fill the void sooner rather than later.  It would of been nice to get in the top 5.  

I think they need to stop looking at rushing players in. It’s not working plus most don’t have the speed or the body to hold up against much older players.

It is the playoffs.  Some team is going to have its cake and eat it too.

Are you surprised? The NHL screws up more ***** just like the Sabres!
