Thread: Early June Draft Sens Mock Possibility 9/9 (Top 15)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howisbergevinstillhere</b></div><div>I walked away from the conversation with more knowledge than when I came in so thank you. It technically may work out in the Habs favour as we could end up with 4.</div></div>

No problem, for sure that would be great for Habs fans. Personally, I am not sure how I would feel if this proposed lottery system was approved and happened and the Sens landed lafreniere. I would be kind of conflicted if that happened. Obviously, I would be excited but at the same time, I would feel weird or that karma would come back to bite us because we kind of got him in an unconventional manner that severely favoured us. I would feel much better about it if we landed him in the conventional way. However, I dont think it will favour us for long as I am pessimistic that our cheap owner will be able to keep him for long unless we get a new owner. But at the same time, the conventional way would mean we have much less guarantees and could potentially fall somewhere between (5-10) for both our picks if the regular season resumed and the Sens and Sharks both won a **** ton of remainder games (i know, highly unlikely). The proposed new way, we are guaranteed no worse than (3 &amp; 4).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howisbergevinstillhere</b></div><div>So how does this work? In terms of for example mtl. Do we have call it 6.5 percent at getting 4 5.5 for getting 5 for example. Thx for the info</div></div>

I am not sure how the percentages would work as it has not been revealed nor do I have the math skills to figure it out LOL. I know that teams slotted higher pre lottery would have a higher chance of moving up as it is still a lottery after all. I know that obviously, the lottery teams (1-5) will have much increased odds of selecting #1 than this current lottery system as instead of 15 teams getting odds at #1, there would be only 5. The same should also apply for teams outside the lottery for #1 (obviously, odds won't go up as much). Sorry I couldn't provide you more info. And no worries with the update. I am a Sens fan (representing the minority of the league fans) who actually like this proposed scenario if it happens as it heavily favours us (selfish reasons).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howisbergevinstillhere</b></div><div>Try quoting me so I get a notification. That being said u are misreading the statements. Moving up 4 spots is for the 5 lottery teams. Meaning Ana can move up 4 not mtl. I never read the article so it’s nice to see it. If we can’t get Lafreniere oh well 😔. I can’t see this happening tho, New Jersey is 12 points out and don’t get a shot at Lafrenière or the ducks depending on percentage. Maybe I’m wrong but teams will be pissed</div></div>

After this article came out, bob mckenzie, pierre lebrun and multiple other reports have stated that if this proposal happens, all teams can move up 4 and down 1. Movements are not restricted to the 5 lottery teams. What the article states is that the potential to land the first overall pick post this proposed lottery scenario is restricted for the 5 lottery teams (in this case, Detroit, Ottawa, San Jose (belonging to Ottawa), Los Angeles, and Anaheim) as one of the rules set in this new proposed format is that each team can move as much up 4 and as much down 1 from pre lottery positions. The pre lottery positions would be determined based on team winning percentages before March 12th when the league shut down. To explain this matter more, non lottery teams (6 through 15) could move up as much as 4 spots, remain at their current lottery position, or go down by 1 spot post lottery. For example, Montreal currently at 8, could move as far up as 4 spots to 4 and as far down as 9. Even the 15th overall team based on points percentage, has the chances of moving up 4 spots (obviously, they can't move down 1 spot as there are only 15 teams in the lottery). I know it is complicated to understand and took me a while to comprehend and I agree with you, this definitely will piss off most teams. A lot of team executives are not in favour of it but the league for monetary reasons i believe really wants it to happen. If the draft happens, they get broadcasting revenue as broadcasters (SNET and NBC) have already agreed to broadcast the draft in early June if the proposal happens.

Read the article. I consider it a possibility as the commissioner office strongly wants it to happen and Bill Daly wrote a memo to teams laying out the advantages. I strongly believe that it will happen considering the source and reported author of the memo. Once again, I have not said it will happen and said right now, it is just a theory. I said if the proposal happens. Based on what the article says, it says this year is unique and NHL wants to fill the gap between now and a maybe resumption in the summer and a draft would do that. To avoid the chance of a team winning both the lottery and the cup, they suggested a proposal for just this year of all teams only being able to move up to 4 spots and down at most 1. In this case, habs will be 4,5,6,7,8 or 9 depending on how the lottery happens. I understand that this is not what you want as you probably like most habs fans want number 1 and that this proposal would not be viewed favourably by most fanbases. But considering who wrote the memo, I believe that it will happen.

9 possibilities based on theory of proposed early June draft where each time can rise at most 4 spots and drop lowest by 1. Based on that theory, Sens can either finish 1 &amp; 3, 2 &amp; 3 if Wings get 1st, 2&amp;4 if Kings get third, 2&amp;4 if Ducks get third, 2&amp;4 if Devils get third, 3&amp;4 if Kings get second, 3&amp;4 if Ducks get second, 3&amp;4 if Devils get second, or 3&amp;4 if Sabres get first. I did not consider movements outside of the top 3 picks. Habs will draft someone else if I mocked and they jumped up to (4th, 5th, 6th, or 7th). All my mock drafts had them at 8th. At their current spot at 8, I see them drafting either Perfetti or Rossi depending on how the top 7 shapes up. I see them picking Perfetti or Rossi ahead of Quinn as they are more well rounded. Quinn is more 1 dimensional with his only skill being sniping. I feel Perfetti or Rossi would help the Habs more than Quinn would. Maybe if someone above them in my scenarios goes off the board, I may see them picking maybe Raymond or Holtz or maybe Drysdale. But doubt that would happen as I see them in the top 6. Habs may select one of them if they move up with some luck in the lottery
