I think we should discuss the +/- stat. It was the difference in this years Stanley Cup Final. Tony was +4 I believe and Slack was -16. Made the difference in the long run.
HYBRID LOTTERY ODDSRANK CHANCE18th 33.50% (30th & 29th so for 2015 - Buffalo & Arizona)17th 21.00% (28th & 27th - Edmonton & Toronto)16th 16.00% (26th & 25th - Carolina & New Jersey etc.)15th 12.50% (24th & 23rd)14th 8.50% (22nd & 21st)13th 5.50% (20th & 19th)12th 3.00% (18th & 17th)11th through 1st 0%So this year Montreal finished in 17th place and would have had both Edmonton and Toronto's odds combined....and would have won 1st pick. As televised.
I don't mind this except for a couple things1) 11th to 9th get no chance. They didn't make our playoffs and get like the real NHL should have a chance at winning the lottery.2) There is only one thing in this league that is NHL dependent and therefore fixed as of an announcement which is the cap. This is great for us as it keeps the cap numbers in the right spots and gives teams more realistic cap hits for players. Other things that kind of depend on NHL are player caps (half required) and team names but other than that I can't name what else in the league follows so closely to a tee. I don't want the NHL to control us haha.3) Probably too high of odds for the last place finisher which would promote tanking.Positives:1) I like the excitement maybe that is something we could try and add? Like have everyone logged into a server or something like that to watch me randomize the number. Then we can have discussion and such afterwards about draft, possible trades and get that real GM atmosphere going.2) The odds. Our odds are put the way they are because we have less teams, maybe this is something we have to look at.
