[CP Story] Simulator Fix : April 11th

[Jacks]

I'd rather the Leafs get #1 than the Canucks.

[FBI]

I voted 3. Not a fan of dropping two spots

[DJones]

If we draft in the top 2 it's an automatic 10 for me. Don't care how the other teams do.

Give Edmonton the pick, whatever.

[mrkajz44]

I gave this a 2 - don't really care what happens to Toronto / Edmonton / Vancouver. I just want the Flames to do well. Being pushed back 2 spots is almost as bad as it gets, but since it wasn't the full 3 spots that we could get pushed back, the rating is 2.

Yeah I look at it from a Flames perspective first and IMO a 5 would be if the Flames stay at their position which is a bit of a win given the odds favor them moving back. If they move back it's <5 and if they move up >5 with the order of the other teams factoring in as I would be tempted to give a 1 to a scenario where the Flames pick 2nd and the Canucks and Oilers pick outside of the top 3.

Ran it once, result is about as perfect as you can get.

Spoiler!

Flames get 1st, other top 2 picks go to the East.

[DJones]

There would be riots if that turned out to be true haha.

[Skeptical]

Cant stand the Canucks, so this is my worst fear, outside of the Oilers...But having the Oilers out of the top 3 makes it a bit easier to take. Not much Jets hate and I am indifferent on Ottawa..so I gave it a 3.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Love what you're doing with this!

[Displaced Flames fan]

I think it is a 4 result in terms of the Flames positioning, but because the Canucks won the lottery, it goes down to a 3.

[dammage79]

Voted 3 for this situation. Namely because the player taken isn't high on my list. And that 2 of the top 3 will be in the west and not in CGY.

The top 3 of Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver is disgusting.

BUT

There's a 55% chance that a team outside the top 3 gets the 1st overall.

If that happens, there's a ~53% chance that a team outside the top 3 gets 2nd overall.

If that also happens, there's a 50.5% chance a team outside the top 3 gets 3rd overall.

On a roll-by-roll basis, the odds are that each of the top 3 teams gets bumped out of the top 3.

I sure hope that comes true and the Flames are one of the teams outside the top 3 to win a roll.

[polak]

Ran it once and got

1. Edmonton
2. Toronto
3. Boston
-
6. Calgary

If this happened I believe my reaction would be:

"####ing stupid ####ing nhl with their stupid ####ing Oilers getting the ####ing 1OA cause they're ####ing useless and ####ing dumb and the ####ing hockey gods don't exist and ####ing #### ####."

As for your results Bingo, 2. Can't get much worse besides dropping one more spot.

No thanks. The Toronto hype machine is way worse than Vancouver's, and would go into overdrive if the leafs got Matthews.

[FlamesNation23]

Ran it once and got Toronto, Columbus, and Buffalo in 3rd. Flames draft 6th. I can live with that!

I really like this idea Bingo. Discussion based off a single simulation forces you to really consider what each possibility may mean.

It does amuse me though that some posters aren't really paying attention to the thread topic and are instead just posting their own simulation results.

[1qqaaz]

This couldn't be much worse IMO. The only upside is that Edmonton got moved back 2 spots.

I gave it a 2.

[Itse]

I actively avoid thinking about these hypotheticals. We'll see how it goes, nothing anybody can do before the lottery anyway.
