To think that if we hadn't swept California we probably would have been in the Flames position right now.
So uh, yeah thanks for not giving a shit Cali teams, you're (mostly) alright.

Matthews is starting his 7 year clock.
This makes no sense to me, how can Nashville potentially draft before a team they beat in the playoffs? Who cares if they are the WC or whatever, they beat the Ducks, should draft with all the other survivors of the playoffs so far.

Oh for fuck's sake, let the kitten dream you fucking party pooper
Dude. If the Canucks hadn't swept Cali they'd have won the lottery.
This pick belongs to Arizona.

Calder's despair at the Jets winning those last games was palpable. It worked out pretty good in the end though, so it's all good.

I feel Bergevin is going to Trade up in the draft. But you know what? I'm happy with 9th overall
I'll never doubt anti-tank karma again.

It's how it is. Teams only move around in the draft if they make it to the final four. If they are eliminated in the first or second round of the playoffs, they stay in their original reverse standings position and only move up the draft board if a team below them makes it to the final four.
Like how last year, the Wild beat the Blues and made it to the second round. But they made it no further, so they stayed in their spot based on regular season. The Blues drafted after the Wild last year, even though the Wild won.
Actually the Blues traded their pick in the Ryan Miller/Steve Ott trade from the year before, which was then in turn traded to Winnipeg in the Bogosian/E Kane trade, but you get the picture.
Good call. Forgot to account for trades.

Everberg is playing in a different league next year. Fuckkkkk I liked him. 
An awesome addition, but does he block shots?
They really need a center, though.
When I saw Oilers 4th i was real happy cause it meant top 3 Leafs, then I was ecstatic when Columbus was 3 cause I'd be happy with Laine, but I blew my wad at #1 *sheepish grin*

Now what the Habs need to do is Get rid of Plekanec and Emelin who needs a 2nd line Center and a 2/3rd line Dman?

Updated draft order standings accounting for trades:
However, lots of that can change based on the following:
- Toronto
- Winnipeg
- Lumbus
- Edmonton
- Vancouver
- Calgary
- Arizona
- Buffalo
- Montreal
- Colorado
- Devils
- Ottawa
- Carolina
- Boston
- Minnesota
- Detroit
[*]Nashville* - Philadelphia
[*]Tampa Bay* - Boston (San Jose pick)*
- Islanders*
- Arizona (Rangers pick)
- Carolina (Los Angeles pick)
- Florida
- Anaheim
- Winnipeg (Chicago pick)
[*]Toronto (Pittsburgh pick)*
[*]St Louis*
[*]Dallas*
[*]Washington*
However, lots of that can change based on the following:
- If Nashville loses against San Jose, they draft #17. If they win vs San Jose and lose to Dallas/Blues, they draft #27. Make it to the finals and lose, #29. Win, #30.
- If Tampa loses vs Isles, they draft #18 or #19 depending on if Nashville wins/loses. Win vs Isles and lose to Pens/caps, they draft either #27 or #28 depending on if Nashville wins/loses.
- If San Jose loses to Nashville, they draft #19/#20 depending on if Tampa wins or loses. They win and they draft #27+.
- If Isles lose to Tampa, they would draft at #19. One of San Jose or Nashville moves up past them, and Tampa moves up with the win, guaranteeing Isles to draft there. If they win, they move up to #27+
- Pittsburgh, St Lous, Dallas, and Washington are all in a strange spot. They are in the bottom four standings-wise for the draft, but two of them are going to be drafting #25 and #26 based on order of the regular season standings above after the losing teams move up and the winning teams from below (Nashville or San Jose, Tampa or Isles) move up.
- Because one of San Jose/Nashville and one of Tampa/Isles are both going to move up into the #27+ spot, picks #22-#26 will all move up two spots. Arizona, using New York's draft pick, is going to be #20, for example. Carolina, using the Kings' pick, is going to be slotted at #21. And so on.
Smart move by them not giving him McDavid. Would have been too obvious.

grow up, the leafs had the best chance and they won, stop being a poor loser
Not to mention the draft is in Buffalo. Now they can pack the First Niagara center with all drunk Laffs fans.

Your posts are too short to be any of mine when it comes to hatred of the Leafs.
I agree with your sentiments, but today is not the day for my expulsion of them here.
It'll be the next time the Jets and Leafs play.
