I say no trades or any action here until our playoffs are done.

selfishly as someone who has a lottery pick I voted ASAP.

My question back to the team is, if the lottery doesn't impact you - why do you care? Wouldn't this in theory promote trading since we know where all the picks land?

I voted just to participate but I do not care when it is held.

I think the lottery shouldn't take away from the focus of the playoffs.

Also, last year there were tons of trades by teams that were positioning themselves for the lottery. I did not have a lottery pick going into the off season, made several trades, landed the 8 spot and won the lottery. I think it is fair that teams should get some time to try and add lottery picks before we do the draw.

We've done it at different times over the years. Honestly I have no strong preference.

I voted after the playoffs, but Macho has a point. How long should we give for any possible maneuvering via trade before the draft?

Honest question, who is trading a lottery pick prior to the lottery? Nobody

I like waiting until after the playoffs, because that is the time that all teams are focused on making trades and the lottery may lead to a lot of additional trade activity!

I could do it tomorrow or Monday evening. Around 7 PM Calgary time for either.
Would want at least 2 others to witness it via a zoom meeting.

To avoid confusion I'd like to wait until the draft order thread is posted. And then we can book it.
