A nightmare scenario would be they lose to Montreal, Sid is hiding something bad enough to retire him, they lose the draft lottery for #1 overall and take whatever mid-1st round pick their 2020 pick ends up being and then are bad enough without Sid next year that their unprotected 2021 1st round pick that goes to Minnesota somehow ends up being #1 overall. That's a nightmare scenario.
Losing to Montreal and drafting #1 overall is quite literally the 2nd best outcome behind the obvious best outcome of winning the Cup.
