It's crazy what a huge impact on the franchise these last 8 games and the lottery could have. A bad stretch and a favourable lottery and the flames could be picking one of the big 3 who all look like potential franchise players. Or a good run and a few low ranked teams getting lucky in the lottery and they could be picking 10th and end up with a guy who is a few years away and has a lot of question marks.
That said the draft is never a certainty, but it's interesting how close the bottom 7 or 8 teams are in the standings
Too bad the oot tomorrow is so lame. Only interesting game is the canucks and they are going to get destroyed by the blues with the way they have been playing

The Isles-Bolts game will be interesting to watch. Those teams are in a tight playoff race now that the Flyers and Red Wings are basically right behind them. The Caps-Devils game is big for the Devils if they want to keep their slim chances going. Heck, the Devils 3-0 win over the Penguins puts Pittsburgh in some hot water. Isles win Fri. night and the Pens become a bullseye for the Flyers.
