Tonight could have been a much more dramatic night if the Leafs had lost to the senators but that ship has sailed. While we're focused on the chance of the Leafs moving up to the 3rd overall pick keep in mind that there is also a 9.5% chance of falling to 8th. The festivities start at 8pm on TSN and like any other game day we'll have an open thread here and hopefully we'll be celebrating a four-spot jump. Thanks to TSN for the following table:
| RANK | TEAM | PTS | % OF WINNING | % TO GET NO. 1 | TSN's PROSPECT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | New York Islanders | 61 | 25.0 | 48.1 | C John Tavares |
| 2 | Tampa Bay Lightning | 66 | 18.8 | 18.8 | D Victor Hedman |
| 3 | Colorado Avalanche | 69 | 14.2 | 14.2 | C Matt Duchene |
| 4 | Atlanta Thrashers | 76 | 10.7 | 10.7 | C Evander Kane |
| 5 | Los Angeles Kings | 79 | 8.1 | 8.1 | C Brayden Schenn |
| 6 | Phoenix Coyotes | 79 | 6.2 | - | D Jared Cowen |
| 7 | Toronto Maple Leafs | 81 | 4.7 | - | LW M. Svensson-Paajarvi |
Here are a few mock drafts as things stand right now:
| MyNHLDraft | Nazem Kadri |
| Total Pro Sports | Brayden Schenn |
| Chickenman92 | Jared Cowen |
| The Hockey Spy | Brayden Schenn |
So joins us at our regular meeting time 30 minutes before the action starts.
What will you be thinking if the Leafs' win the draft lottery?
| G*DDAMN USELESS SENATORS! | 40 |
| Trading up to 1st or 2nd just got easier | 29 |
| Wow, if the Leafs had lost that game they'd be drafting 6th | 16 |
| Seriously, screw the senators | 39 |
