Team: 2021-22 Columbus Blue Jackets

Initial Creation Date: Nov. 11, 2021

Published: Nov. 11, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Read the 2022 pick condition on the trade: "*Conditions: If Chicago wins one of the the 2022 draft lotteries, the pick becomes their 2023 1st round pick"

The lottery rules change this year in that the maximum a team can jump is 10 spots. What if Chicago finishes dead last and two teams ranked between #12 and #16 win the lotteries?

Shane Wright --> Columbus

---------

Example

Imagine the final standings (in reverse order for 2022 draft)

1. Chicago
2. Arizona
3. Montreal
4. Ottawa
5. Seattle
6. Dallas
7. Vancouver
8. Pittsburgh
9. Detroit
10. Los Angeles
11. Nashville
12. Colorado
13. Anaheim
14. San Jose
15. Vegas
16. New Jersey

(actual teams don't matter...a lot of these are unlikely as final)

At the Lottery, San Jose wins the first lottery and jumps to pick #4. Colorado wins the second lottery and jumps to pick #2.

Here is the final draft order:

1. Columbus (via Chicago)
2. Arizona (via Colorado)
3. Arizona
4. San Jose
5. Montreal (pick is in top-10, so Arizona gets the Carolina pick)
6. Ottawa
7. Seattle
8. Dallas
9. Vancouver
10. Pittsburgh
11. Detroit
12. Los Angeles
13. Nashville
14. Anaheim
15. Vegas
16. New Jersey

---------

If I am reading that wrong, somebody say so.
But would certainly be an interesting scenario.

I actually think the pick would still convey, as Chicago didn't win a lottery, should've top 2 protected it instead

Even if we finish last we still have to "win the lottery" to get pick 1 or 2. Our odds would be the best, but we would still be in the lottery. Pick is the hawks if its one or two

If Blackhawks finish last, and teams between #12-16 win the two lotteries, I think the #1 overall pick goes to Columbus.
It only switches to a 2023 pick if Chicago "wins" one of the lotteries. Not if pick is in top-2.

Imagine COL stays near the bottom of the standings all year and that 1st becomes the #1 pick and the Yotes pick is #2 so they end up getting the top 2 picks, lol

I don’t think it’s that bad…..

There r a few worse teams then CHI

ARI, BUF and MTL for example

It CHI doesn’t win the lotto their pick should be between 5-10

Even with the off ice issues their team just isn’t that bad

If this is the actual wording, you may have discovered the greatest example of GM malpractice in sports history.

It is per CF. Chicago has protected the pick from winning the lottery

Capfriendly misunderstood the condition on the pick, the answer is no.

Even better. I just changed the example above...final order:

1. Columbus (via Chicago)
2. Arizona (via Colorado)
3. Arizona
4. San Jose
5. Montreal

Impossible tho ultimately

Roster too good

Funny that COL are the best example of a good team cratering randomly one season, but a lot was cal pickard and their roster was 1/2 as good

The NHL press release states the pick is top 2 protected, not “lottery” protected. The “lottery” has always been conditioned as the top spots in the draft, and while the new system is more confusing, it still refers to the top 2 spots in the draft.

It's top 2 protected.

Capfriendly misunderstood the condition and needs a rewrite.

You do win the lottery; the lottery by definition is the lottery. No team can can't get any picks without the lottery taking place.

Can't happen. Chicago protected the first two picks, doesn't matter how they get them.

Doesn't matter, the #1 and #2 picks are protected if they are Chicago's
