@Mordhel44@ethanfromvan@TSN_Sports Yeah maybe, it just adds to suspicion more than anything.
“Oh well we only have one first round pick in next three years, Matthews threatened to leave, and everyone is dissing new management. How do we save the highest grossing franchise in the NHL?”
The Vancouver Canucks draft lottery luck since they were last competitive:
2014 | 6.2% chance to climb - lost, picked #6
2016 | 48.4% chance to climb - lost, picked #5
2017 | 69.3% chance to climb - lost, picked #5
2018 | 39.6% chance to climb - lost, picked #7
2019 | 64.8% chance to climb - lost, picked #10
2021 | 11.1% chance to climb - lost, picked #9
2022 | 1.1% chance to climb - lost, picked #15
2023 | 6.3% chance to climb - lost, picked #11
2025 | 1.1% chance to climb - lost, picked #15
2026 | 44.3% chance to win - lost, picked #3
That's a 98.57% chance that they would have won at least one time across the 10 lotteries.
@BatchHockey@Sportsnet650 “We’re going to get a really good player, compiled with 3 other picks in top 2 rounds. Canucks are in a good spot and hopefully be a contender in the next couple seasons”
