The top 3 picks are subject to the lottery. The 30th place team can pick as low as 4th overall if they fail to win any of the 3 lottery picks.

*1st Round Draft Order Rules*
Pick #1: All teams that fail to qualify for the playoffs enter the draft lottery; a weighted lottery is conducted to determine the 1st pick

Picks #27 & 28: Conference Finalists; the team with the fewer regular season points get the 27th pick

Now that I have a top pick in 2017 i've been looking into that draft.

Connor McDavid draft -2 season (OHL):
63GP
25 goals
41 assists
66 points

didnt make playoffs

Nolan Patrick draft -2 season (WHL):
55GP
30 goals
26 assists
56 points

Playoffs:
19 gp
8 goals
7 assists
15 points

Nolan Patrick is already 6'3 195 lbs, and a centerman.

It would be nice to be able to select him. Especially if next McDavid type player.






The other guy who could be good is Elias Pettersson who is putting up better stats than William Nylander did at the same age in the same leagues. William Nylander put up better stats than Filip Forsberg, for a comparison. He is a bit on the light side, but still only 16, and he has gotten a lot taller recently.

You're ahead of schedule, chief...save it for next summer.

[Lee]

Just a reminder to go pick up your draftees.

[Lee]

Can you please confirm eligibility for the 2016 NHL draft?

[Shoalzie]

Probably the same rules as this year...just shift it by a year.

[Shoalzie]

After our trade deadline, I'll start up Lottery Watch 2016.

[kyuss]

Scott, are the picks on your spreadsheets up to date now?

[Shoalzie]

I updated the picks over the weekend but any new deals from Monday aren't on there yet. I'll finalize the draft picks when the issue with late trades is resolved.

[Shoalzie]

The 2016 picks are updated through the trade deadline. The (temporary) order is on the spreadsheet. View the tabs labeled "1st Round", "2nd Round", et al. The order is determined by the latest standings (this Monday).

After the final regular season standings are decided, we will have 84 slots determined (the 1st through 14th picks in rounds 2 through 7). The lottery date has yet to be announced. Each round of our playoffs will determine more of the draft order as it progresses.

See the first post for a reminder to the draft order format. The lottery only affects the first round. The 30th place team will have the first pick in the 2nd through 7th rounds.

regular season standings are now final http://www.fantrax.com/fantasy/standing ... 9ai8hk9kx3

Arizona and NJ finished tied in pts, but Devils get 26th position because of one more matchup W.

So:
26th New Jersey
27th Arizona

[Shoalzie]

Good to know. Thanks Mik.

[Shoalzie]

I should amend what I said before...the initial order isn't set in stone because GP can come into play and adjust the standings and the order. I won't declare myself #1 in the lottery until I reach the GP requirements.

Teams out of the playoffs still need to dress legal lineups and accumulate GP. There is still a month of games remaining and several teams need to reach 1100 skater games and 41 goalie games (myself included). Anyone above or near 1000 games now should be alright if they continue on their current pace. Teams under 900 games have no margin for error and are very likely to miss the minimum.

I'm at 30 goalie games with Mike Smith nearing a return and Ryan Miller in a platoon starter situation with Markstrom. I should reasonably get to 41 with a month to go. Only 4 BBKL teams are under 41 games right now.

[The BBKL Insider]

I will be offering Jonny Gaudreau for 2nd overall in this years draft.

So if that interests the person who wins the 2nd lottery spot just let me know.

Offer: 33rd overall

[The BBKL Insider]

Close. Just 32 spots too low.

[bills09]

Big Laine fan eh
I like the kid too but I'm not even convinced he plays in the nhl next year

[thom54]

Steve;s got balls, and he's swinging them!

[Arian The Insider]

Close. Just 32 spots too low.

I'll take that deal if I somehow win the pick, but highly unlikely at the 11th spot.
