Default Lottery Fix - April 24th

A good outcome. Not great but one I'd be relatively happy with.

Still can't believe we haven't seen 5th yet which is where we finished.

One of stats guys can figure out the math, but I believe statistically we are far more likely to move out of the 5th spot than we are to stay there.

people are more down on this one than I was.

With the Oilers and Canucks out of the top six, and Calgary at 6th not 7th I don't mind it at all.

Fairly acceptable non lottery win scenario.

Could be worse, but moving down because we've been leap frogged by a division rival (who ends up with Laine) doesn't make me happy at all.

It's tolerable, but I give this one a big "meh". 5/10

*Very strong possibility

Anywho, I don't mind this result. I don't hate Columbus and I quite like the Leafs. Not bad!

Columbus is my go-to choice for "where do you want the best player in the draft to go if not to Calgary." A small market team with good fans from that's not in our conference.

I could see Torterella completely stunting the growth of any forward they get.
