LOL
I just ran the tankathon sim twice. Seattle got 1st once, and 2nd once.
So I closed it.
EDIT: I had to go back. Seattle in the top 2 picks 6 out of 10 sims (3 x 1sts, 3 x 2nds). How is that even possible.

My first attempt at tankathon this morning was Flames moving to 1st. What is stranger is that the Kraken also moved to 2nd which is pretty wild. Odds are slim but possible.

All teams not in the playoffs are in the lottery, but you can only move up 10 spots so if Philadelphia won the first lottery, they would get the 2nd overall pick, and then the Flames would have to win the 2nd lottery and they'd move to 3rd and SJ would retain 1st without winning one of the lotteries.

I just gave the tankathon sim a whirl, and first try the Flames won 1st overall.
Man that would be sweet. Can't wait for the actual lottery to happen so I dont have to carry around all this hope.

This 10 spot rule is so dumb. Penalizing teams that are actually trying to make the playoffs.

Agree. The Habs are loaded at D:
Future star in Hutson
Potential #2 in Guhle & Reinbacher
Potential top 4 in Mailloux, Struble
Potential top 6 in Xhekaj, Harris & Barron
Not to mention Matheson as the veteran top pairing D
They are set and need to hit a home run on some impact forwards

Hopefully Demidov falls to them because it could be possible that Iginla is the next forward on their list.

The intention is to penalize teams that are pretty good.

Draft Thoughts (Don't Drink The Water Edition):
This isn't another one of those fantasy tales about a huge player that skates well. I'm talking about 6'7",190lb LW Nathan Aspinall of the Flint Firebirds, a team that finished 15th out of 20 in the OHL, and were 16th in goals-for. Aspinall managed to rack up a respectable 18 goals and 34 points in 65 games this season, but had only 1 point in the playoffs as Flint were swept by the mighty London Knights.
Aspinall's skating is somewhere around average at best when going full throttle in a straight-line, and his acceleration and start-up are severely lacking. His stride is a bit short and choppy, and he loses speed in turns. Some of this problem will work itself out as he gets stronger, and he has a long way to go in the strength department, but I doubt that even the best skating coach could turn him into anything close to a speedster in the future. He does have good hands though, and a hard, heavy shot. He can cash in from in-close, has the hand-eye coordination to get tips, and will shovel in rebounds. Around the net, he's a load to handle, and he's valuable as a net-front presence, providing a screen and causing havok. He's also a force down low using his size as leverage in battle to win pucks, but disappointingly, he's not a big hitter and not a true power-forward. With his enormous reach, he is able to protect the puck well, but his puck-skill is average. He has a reasonably good IQ and sees the ice fairly well, locating seams to pass through, but he keeps it simple and risk-free most of the time.
Aspinall won't hurt you defensively, but he's far from elite in his own zone. In this area he contributes a long reach to disrupt plays and close lanes, and shows good positioning and awareness. Right now, his NHL ceiling is that of a bottom-6 winger if he can significantly improve his mobility. He also needs to bulk up and get significantly stronger, and adding a little toughness and physicality would go a long way. He looks to be a long-term project at the very least. If he is drafted, it likely won't be until the later rounds.

I could see Tij being this year’s Mason McTavish or David Reinbacher- a prospect who is chosen way ahead of their projected spot….

I think Tij could be the 2nd forward off the board. Younger, bigger, and better playoffs than Catton. Nhl bloodline. Not Russian like demidov.
I dont think he will be there at 9.

I would take catton over iggy seven days a week and twice in sundays. This obsession over iggy jr is ridiculous. I think only two places have iggy in the top ten and none of them over Catton.
Demidov, Catton, Buium, Dickinson, Sylaev, Parehk, Celebrini, all ahead of him Lindstrom i have as equal because of injury questions but i just don’t see a world where iggy jr goes ahead of those guys.
Catton has better jr numbers than point and crysaddle. Severly underrated as i keep saying.
