Questions about the lottery?

Any updates, Scott? I'd love official word of who my picks are tied to.

The 'Standings' tab has the picks that everyone owns.

I'm awaiting clarification from Mik on what happens with Ottawa and Edmonton's positions in the draft and the lottery. Adjusted standings are in a separate tab...Ottawa would have more points than Edmonton using the formula Mik has posted. I need to find out if that's how I handle this situation leading into the lottery. There might be a further adjustment post-lottery.

[Arian The Insider]

Ya I can see how it's a little tricky to choose when to do the adjustment. If we adjust now and the Ottawa pick wins the lottery at 4 it would be unfair and if we don't adjust and he wins the lottery and only drops down to #2 it would be unfair as well lol. I'm cool with whatever you guys decide is best though.

[bills09]

I would adjust after lotto imo

[Arian The Insider]

Ya, I think that's how we did it last year too.

[Lee]

Staying out of this conversion as I'm hardly unbiased. Just want to know where where and how of it.

[kimmer]

Did I meet gp for mik alright

[kyuss]

so... looking at this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... 1335442227 I have to cheer for Columbus, Colorado and Boston?

damn, never thought of McDavid with any of those teams, don't feel good about my chances

[Fraser]

If any of the lottery pick holders are feeling frisky and want to talk potential pre-lottery trades, I'm open for business.

[kyuss]

good luck with that

[Fraser]

Come on Mik. You used to be cool.

[kyuss]

feel free to make an offer.




















But I suspect I'll end up deciding on it only after the lottery

[Fraser]

Just realized that if Ottawa stays at 3, to get rolled back post lottery as it appears which is happening. Then that boosts the Dallas 1st Rounder's shot at McD to 31.5%. Not bad how that worked out.

[Lee]

Some sort of decision would be nice.

[Shoalzie]

I agree...the ball is in the CC's court.

[Matthew]

I'm not trying to be a dick, but can someone explain to me why the pick isn't being moved back pre-lottery? Doesn't it make sense to move it to the position it should be due to league standings, decreasing the picks percent of getting mcdavid a bit. Moving it back post lottery gives that pick a zero percent chance at mcdavid, which is unfair to lee. And even a bit unfair to Arian too.

I think I am missing something here, so if I sound dumb, please just explain what I'm missing.

Also, what time is the lottery?

[Fraser]

Lottery is in just over 6 hours from now.

Would love to see Jagr on McDavid's wing.
