Icon48 NHL Draft Lottery - Flames retain the 4th overall pick. Panthers win

Doesn't look like this will be streamed legally. Perhaps check TSN Go.

If you are in the US, this will be broadcasted on NBCSN.




The League has clarified what happens if NJ wins the lottery:
Quote:
To ensure that the odds of all 13 Clubs eligible to win the Draft Lottery are enhanced equally to reflect the Devils' situation, the Draft Lottery this year is being modified as follows: the Devils will still be included in the Draft Lottery drawing on the same basis and with the same odds that would have normally been assigned to the Club based on and consistent with its regular-season finish. However, in the event the Devils win the Draft Lottery, an immediate re draw will be conducted to select a different recipient of the first overall selection in the First Round. The same process will be conducted as many times as necessary to ensure that the first overall selection is awarded to a team other than New Jersey. The Devils will be entitled to the 30th selection overall in the 2014 NHL Draft (the last pick in the First Round). The Devils are not permitted to trade or transfer their right to the 30th overall selection.

From the Flames POV these are the possible outcomes:

1st overall 10.7%
4th overall 58.0%
5th overall 31.3%

As long as Edmonton doesn't get Ekbald I'll be content. What would make me really happy would be Ekbald to Florida Reinhart to Buffalo Drasilati to Edmonton and Bennett to Calgary

Showtime! Been waiting for this for a while. So far the hockey gods have been smiling on the Flames, let's keep it going.

Lottery win would be great, but staying top 4 and I'll be happy

I have zero intention to watch this. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see where the Flames land and how mean Burke is during his 5 minutes on the panel.

Hopefully the NHL/TSN hires the guy that MC'd the Hobey Baker Ceremony.

Boring Sean Monahan@boringmonahan40m
If the Calgary Flames got the 1st pick in the draft it would be better than if they got 4th or higher.

I'd like Buffalo to win just for the fun of having first overall, but it's not that like it's a Crosby to Ryan type drop off.

Win or lose, there will be a VERY good forward available to us.

If it came down to the two Sams which one do you feel the Sabres will lean towards?

I feel that Reinhart is the guy, just from what I've read on Twitter and Sabres message boards. But the hype for Bennett has gone up too.

I was pretty good at gauging who Regier would pick (happens when you have a GM for almost 20 years!) but when you have a completely new guy it's hard to tell.

Personally, I'd like Reinhart, but only because I don't know much about Bennett and haven't seen him play at all. Won't be upset with Bennett either!

I just have that feeling that Edmonton or Vancouver is going to win.

Would be typical for Vancouver to successfully out-tank us with Edler, Kesler, Sedins, etc.

Out of curiosity, how does the draft (and all-star game for that matter) cycle? When is the next time Calgary would be able to host such a thing?
