Can someone post the probabilities of where we finish? Or post the link where these come from? Thanks.

This site has the Flames with a 43 per cent chance at picking 5th (doesn't account for the lottery): http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHLlottery.html

Too harsh of a suspension IMO
I think 8 games is pretty reasonable for swinging your stick at someone and hitting them in the brainstem. It wasn't a vicious swing, but it was a really stupid thing to do.

So dumb and deserved the suspension.

It was a slight tap after the whistle by Ho-Sang, how did that deserve a slash to the head.

Considering his team was dominating the series, and this game already, it was just an idiotic decision.

(Assuming everyone pans out as projected, and in the situation we were to draft Virtanen)

Virtanen Monahan Gaudreau
Baertschi Backlund? Poirier

Still doesnt have that high end talent but starting to have some good pieces in place.

However, we likely still need to bottom out the next two seasons to really get the elite players to be a contender. Ideally a #1 center or at least another top 2 center to offset Monahan and then a stud defensemen to slowly take over for Giordano as he ages.

Really leaning towards Virtanen more than any other prospect this coming draft. We are playing well, probably going to slot in 6th or 7th if we continue this.

Not only that, Virtanen seems to BPA for Calgary if we are in the 5th-8th position. RWer with a RH shot.

Just imagine a gritty line with Poirier and Virtanen on the wings.

NHL central scouting lists alphabetically their top 10 in each NA area. Their final rankings are going to be released next week.

Interesting that MacInnis beat out Goldobin and McKeown for the OHL

Updated, assuming NSH holds their 5-1 lead over BUF tonight:

4 - New York - 66pts - 9GR
5 - Calgary - 67pts - 9GR
6 - Ottawa - 72pts - 10GR
7 - Winnipeg - 73pts - 9GR
8 - Carolina - 73pts - 9GR
9 - Nashville - 75pts - 8GR

NSH could go 3-5 down the stretch, and we'd have to go 7-2 to pass them. Gonna cross them off.

I have a feeling we'll be finishing in the Fourth pick slot. Leaving only the Lottery to spoil my prediction.

As for who they take with 4th overall, Sam Bennett. Someone loves the crap out of Draisaitl out of the top three and will take him.

It could come down to our games against Ottawa and Winnipeg.

I don't understand this^^

30th place: 25.0%
29th place: 18.8%
28th place: 14.2%
27th place: 10.7%
26th place: 8.1%

25th place: 6.2%
24th place: 4.7%
23th place: 3.6%
22th place: 2.7%
21th place: 2.1%
20th place: 1.5%
19th place: 1.1%
18th place: 0.8%
17th place: 0.5%


Edit: understand it now. It's misleading though.

I could see us having Reinhart fall to us at 4 which would be fine with me.

I really hope the Flames can grab one of Brendan Lemieux
Or Ryan MacInnis with our 2nd round pick.

Never say never, but the way he's playing tonight, and from what I hear, the entire payoff series so far, there's no way he makes it past 2

All depends on how Buffalo views Bennett
