cheering for losses absolutely sucks, but getting to 8th (before the lottery) would be fantastic. No idea how the board will fall in this draft after Celebrini, but 8th would pretty much guarantee us to either get a great center (Lindstrom, Catton) or defenseman (Levshunov, Dickinson, Silayev, Buium) to build around. Good defensemen would be there later too, but center is worryingly thin after the top bracket.
