All Western conference teams. No Oilers so I'll give it a 2. Hope we have better luck tomorrow!

booo. This one sucks but it's fairly realistic. I think we have to accept that we're likely going to be drafting around 7. At least the oil and leafs don't get top 3.

I'd give this a 5

Just did mine and got Flames-Canucks-Sabres on the first try. That would be amazing.

Bingo, thank you in helping CP keep their expectations low, where there is a strong possibility for a disappointing outcome tomorrow, these threads have helped my inner being be fully prepped.

A 4 day run of crap results ends with the real thing tomorrow.

If we had seen the Flames win a spot in the lottery 12/19 times I'd be pessimistic!

To me the lead up to tomorrow is much like the lead up to the season. I feel really confident about our chances and am going in expecting to win. If they don't win though it will not be shocking or rage inducing.

Leading into this season I expected the flames to be a playoff team and be better than 2015. When it was clear early in the season was lost I was not overly shocked as many people predicted the fall back. Just like tomorrow we have a 1 in 4 chance of picking top 3 but also have a 2 in 3 chance of picking 6-7. Hope for the best and accept whatever happens

The one thing I've noticed with the simulator picks done here (unless I missed a day) and all the other variations I've seen or done is I haven't seen a version where it went Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver. That's a good thing. I'm not even sure if I've seen all three in the top three in any order.....

Fully expecting 8th with Oilers, Arizona and Canucks in the top 3.

Can only go up from there....

Damn you Bingo. Damn you all to hell!

I feel better now. Starting to warm up to Nylander as well. If his last name was Svenson or something, I'd probably feel even better.

so here's a question ...

do you do this tomorrow? Run another edition in the morning or leave it be?

The superstitious crowd needs to answer that one.

Leave it.

We need all the positive group think possible in an effort to create the necessary vibrations in the universe to sway results our way!

4 crap results in a row means tomorrow we'll get a favourable result.

Under no circumstances should we use that luck up on a simulation. Just let this be the last.

Not the worst I guess since Edmonton's not in it, but man it would have helped A LOT for our chances had Flames just lost those meaningless two games against the Canucks and Minny at the end of the season. Ah well, it is what it is.

Yeah leave it. Don't do it. If you get 1st in the sim then we just know that it won't happen in the real thing.

6 Vancouver Canucks
7 Columbus Blue Jackets
8 Winnipeg Jets
9 Arizona Coyotes
10 Buffalo Sabres
