This is the year we finish like 15th, win the lottery and move up to 5

Well winning the lottery means winning 1OA, no?

No you can only move up 10 spots now since the rangers won and drafted Laf

Ahh, yes. I guess I don't expect the Wings to finish better than 11th worst.

I doubt we get that kind of luck but it would be great. I'm also really high on Fantili. I think he would be a great player to draft.

and with since they only draw twice a team can only fall back 2 spots. This change was also made after the 2020 draft when the Wings were by far the worst team in the league with 39 points and the next closest had 62 points but Detroit ended up with the 4th pick in the draft.

Man wouldn’t that be sweet justice a la the rangers did. Alas the changes mean it’ll never happen again. Good news is in the latest redraft I’ve seen from I think it was hockey news had Raymond as first overall. Waaay to early for a redraft bit I’ll take it!

Yes but with the Wings lottery luck this is very unlikely to happen. In Detroit not falling back is considered a lottery win.

This team is far better than 11th overall, Unless Detroit gets totally decimated with injuries they should finish between 11th to 14th overall.

Outside of the draft commentary. 1. I don't think Cossa will be ready in 23-24 so bring back Ned. 2. Fabri's still on IR? 3. Berggren's not playing on the 4th line. 4. Larkin will get max 8 year contract. 5. I hope Bert's is not 7 years but 5 instead.
