Team: 2022-23 Nashville Predators

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 7, 2023

Published: Apr. 7, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Most likely starting lineup for the playoffs.
Next two games will show us what we get.
if Preds lose the next 2 games, then we can forget about the playoffs.
And their most likely place in standings before draft - 14OA.
Hopefully in such scenario, Preds will win draft lottery. It will be 4th OA, where they can select one of Michkov or Carlsson.
In my opinion this team deserve to be lucky here. Draft in Nashville, tons of injuries and young group that fighting until the end for the playoffs. Old-new JM.
What kind of story could it be.

Most likely Michkov will be that 4th OA pick, due to last news about his dad. Heartbreaking ****...
However, what a nice team it can be with Michkov and Askarov as their franchise players. Remind me current TB or NYR.

We're not drafting anywhere near the top 5... If we don't make the playoffs, it'll probably be somewhere between 14-16.

Any team out of the playoffs have a chance to win lottery. However teams can't move up more than 10 places.
That's why only 11 worst teams have a chance to win 1st OA selection.

Yes, but it's extremely unlikely.

Under the new format, It's basically impossible to climb up 10 spots, There's only 2 lottery balls instead of the normal 3 which makes that more than unlikely. The odds of Nashville making the playoffs are dwindling by the day. And no Nashville isn't climbing up to a top 4 spot either.

Dwindling? If anything they have put themselves is a really good spot to make the playoffs. These next 2 games have to be wins. If you beat the jets and the flames then you put yourself in a really good position
