How high would the pick have to be for the knights to decide to push the pick off to a better 2023 draft ? I have to think they’d have to win 1st or 2nd.

You obviously were speaking of Eichel, not the draft pick. I'd be thrilled with getting another high pick. The thread is not about the draft pick, it's about Eichel possibly missing the playoffs again. Just like the Sabres. So you're a hero taking digs at fellow fans and the team?

I have to think they’d have to win 1st or 2nd. It’s top-10 protected. If the pick ends up in the top 10, Sabres get their 2023 1st instead of the 2022 1st. Unless they loose almost every game for the rest of the season, it won’t be too 10 on points. They will need to win a lottery in order to push it into the top 10, and there is only going to be like a 5% chance of that, at most.

Sure but if Knights really fell of a cliff and ended up in 9th last - Wouldn’t they have a choice to give the Sabres #9 or roll the dice and give the Sabres unprotected 2023 pick?

If it’s 11-32 Sabres get it, if it’s 1-10 Knights keep it and give Sabres their 2023 1st. 2) The Knights won’t fall that low. It’s numerically possible, but realistically they would need to lose like 13 of their last 15 games or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 I genuinely don't care where Vegas ends up on the year, and thus, where our pick ends up. I'm baffled that after a decade of where are picks were seeming to be the only thing that mattered, and then us picking guys thought not to be picked in the right slot anyway, that people can still find the energy to care about this stuff. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what this thread is about? I thought it was about feeling the pleasure of Jack Eichel's pain. At least, that's what I got from the title. And there will be a future (3-5 years) NHL player available at either 14 or 22. The chances are probably identical whether or not we hit on it. I still don't care. I'm sorry if I offended,… I think.
