Welcome to the 2017 Off-Season OT! You’re probably not surprised to be here, pessimism runs through NHLGAF like bigotry through the White House. From the very beginning of the season this was really the only outcome. At least you’re not the Leafs or Oilers, right? Wrong, they’re in the playoffs (no really). As long as you’re not an Avalanche fan it’s really not all that bad. Here’s what you have to look forward to:

NHL Draft Lottery - April 29th: A high draft pick is the ultimate consolation prize, in which there’s a glimmer of hope your team will land a player to right the ineptitude of the franchise. And what a year it is to be bad! The talent pool is poor compared to years past, there’s no McDavid or Matthews to be had.

Draft Odds:
Avalanche: 17.936%
Canucks: 12.124%
Golden Knights: 10.321
Arooooooo: 10.321%
Devils: 8.517%
Sabres 7.615%
Red Wings: 6.713%
Stars: 5.812%
Panthers: 5.411%
Kings: 4.509%
Hurricanes: 3.106%
Jets: 2.705%
Flyers: 2.204%
Lightning: 1.804%
Islanders: 0.902%

NHL Awards June 21st: The NHL Awards will once again take place in Las Vegas. If the NHL moves to a neutral city after the Vegas expansion, this will likely be the last time the Stanley Cup goes to Vegas.

NHL Draft June 23–24: This years host city is Chicago, seeing high draft picks could take Blackhawk fans back to their inception in 2006 when Toews was drafted. Personally, I look forward to seeing who the Jets pick. It’ll be nice to know which rookie will be victimized by a clean hit next year.

NHL Free Agency: Fortunately, the draft isn’t the only way to improve a team. Come July 1st, GMs all around the league will sign players to abhorrent contracts, ruining the cap structure for years to come. At least it’s Canada Day, that’s always fun.

 

[PillarEN]

Welp. Please give us the first pick. We're poor and nothing good has ever happened to us. A shiny new 1st overall would go nicely with a shiny new arena.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

 

[Fata1moose]

I've already accepted the Avs will be picking 4th overall.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Nice OP, Fata1. See you guys in a couple weeks!

 

[megachao24]

Home Sweet Home

Lindy Ruff gone from the Stars. Too bad Stars didn't tank hard enough for better lottery odds.

Spoiler

Now Bamco burning Aikastu Stars into the ground will make a day.

 

[Pikma]

😂😂😂😂😂😐😐😐😐😐😔😔😔😔😔😔😭😭😭😭😭

☝🏼This is me throughout the season

 

[iLLmAtlc]

All right who wants to kick off the gossip about those playoff gafer pricks

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Will be alternating between here and the playoff thread. Maybe the Jets will get lucky and at least land the 3rd overall pick. That would be great.

 

[Socreges]

I heard that Quick guy hires someone to do his photoshops

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Maybe next season is the one where Stamkos plays a full year.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Hi guys and Welcome KnightsGAF to your unofficially first offseason

 

[ColdPizza]

Sabres are trash. That is all.

 

[Syrinx]

Go away Creeper, you don't belong here.

 

[Pikma]

Go away Creeper, you don't belong here.

Co signed

 

[Marvie_3]

Look at all these loser ass teams in here.

I'd be surprised if a KnightsGAF exists, at least for a couple years.

Pikma.

 

[shadowkat]

Hi!

Oh wait, I'm not supposed to be here yet. :O

I'll reserve my seat for now.

 

[Fata1moose]

At least Rantanen is decent 21 goals on the worst team in the league.

Whats a Rantanen? Is it a Ratatta evolution?

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Fucking Gardiner is such a lazy skater.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Fucking Reilly.

Fucking Gardiner is such a lazy skater.

Fucking Reilly.

You realize this is the offseason thread right?

 

[Fata1moose]

Team Rocket genetic experiment of a Ratatta.

You realize this is the offseason thread right?

Old habits die hard.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

You realize this is the offseason thread right?

Sorry, just being angry.

Fucking Gardiner.

Go leafs go! Playoffs!!!

Caps you're going down down down.

 

[Marvie_3]

Old habits die hard.

:lol

 

[Fata1moose]

It's a relief that this season is over. Will be interesting to see what changes (if anything). Hopefully Tim Army will be gone. One of Duchene/Landeskog probably has to go.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

1 more period of Tom Rowe.

 

[PillarEN]

By the way, bravo on using the fisherman Islander logo. It's an extra slap in the face of the Brooklyn fans.

A bunch of weiners here 🤣

 

[The Internet]

Feels good to not be posting in here in early April for the first time in 11 years.

Oh wait I just did...

 

[Fata1moose]

A bunch of weiners here ��

I predict the Sens will be the first playoff team here.

 

[Marvie_3]

I predict the Sens will be the first playoff team here.

Dude.....Leafs.

 

[Fata1moose]

Dude.....Leafs.

I maintain Sens will be out first. Caps are going to have a mini choke.

 

[Marvie_3]

I maintain Sens will be out first. Caps are going to have a mini choke.

But its the Leafs.

 

[Fata1moose]

But its the Leafs.

Yeah but it's the Caps too. Washington will still win, but they're going to choke away 1 game.

 

[Marvie_3]

Yeah but it's the Caps too. Washington will still win, but they're going to choke away 1 game.

😒😒😒😒😒

 

[ZeroGravity]

I can't wait until we win the draft lottery.

 

[Fata1moose]

I can't wait until we win the draft lottery.

This is the darkest outcome, you have so many good players. You fuckers should be competing.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Lots of smoke from DU's Coach Montgomery for Cats

 

[Socreges]

Gabe Vilardi is almost a year younger than Nolan Patrick. Interesting. He's got that Virtanen stink, though

Hischier please

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Lots of smoke from DU's Coach Montgomery for Cats

No Therrien?

 

[Samyy]

Picking Patrick would make me pretty nervous tbh

 

[Marvie_3]

Did the Coyotes move yet?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

TALLON BACK AS GM

Flyers really, really need to get rid of Hak and the assistant coaches.
