>>64626737
placement is decided by results from the season
except like the top 10 or something which is decided via a lottery which edmonton wins all the time
>>64626737
There is a lottery that determines who wins the first picks in the draft. And the lower you are in the league table, the bigger change you have winning the lottery.
Besides that I guess the most important thing is that draft picks can be included in trades.
>>64626737
No relegation like in football. All eligible players are drafted in June and the order in which teams pick is essentially determined by how they placed in the season (ie Stanley cup winner picks 30th). However there is a lottery for all teams that didn't make the playoffs for the 1st, and now 2nd and 3rd overall picks and the odds they get the picks are once again determined by their place (last year 30th place Buffalo had a 20%chance to get the 1st overall, with all others having sequentially worst).
Deadmonton is always mentioned because since 2010 they have had FOUR 1st overall picks including 2 back to back and STILL are dogshit. Basically all other 1st OA teams in the last 10 years are now competing or have been competitive for the cup. Edmonton has had 4 1stOA, a 3rd OA and an 11th and can't put together a respectable team. They literally ruin every prospect and future hockey star and they should relocate to Vegas.

>>64626904
is it always known beforehand which player will be the first pick, or have there been surprises?
>>64626904
To add:
They improperly develop their talent by forcing them into the league too early without support and into a cancerous environment. These kids are put up against gilts like Getzlaf, Neal, Chara, etc and get injured time and time again until they are too scared to touch the puck. Meanwhile there are no consequences to hurting these players because no one on Edmonton fights.
Also their fans feel entitled to pick after pick and at this point keep getting excited to lose, it's embarrassing.
Also their management was, until recently, and old boys club made of players from the 80s who were shit at hockey management and one of them killed a guy.
Is Suomi the new hokkei nation?

This was a very good response, thanks again, friend :)
>>64626737
Edmonton gets to pick first. 2-30 are done by lottery.
>>64627023
Usually there is a consensus #1 (ie McDavid last year or Matthews his year) but there has been years where there is no clear cut. The most recent example was the 2014 draft where the first 4 were really a toss up and even then it's still up on the air who was the best from that draft. If there was a redraft of it I think it would go:
1 - Ekblad
2 - Draisaitl
3 - Nylander
4 - Reinhart
5 - pullup man
6 - Ehlers
...
Undrafted: Virtanen

Depends on the year and the available talent.
In 2015 it was know right after the lottery that the Oilers were choosing McMeme because he's muh generational talent
In 2013, Joe Sakic announced a few weeks before the draft that the Avs were drafting Nathan MacKinnon 1st. The media had been hyping the draft as a battle between good Canadian boy MacKinnon and Nigga Jones from Texas for at least six months. I believe most sports journalists were quite mad when Sakic deprived them of weeks of shitty clickbait articles.
By contrast, in 2014 a handful of players were in the discussion for the 1st pick, and no one knew who the Panthers were going to choose until Dale Tallon picked Ekblad at the podium.

You're embarrassing yourself with this damage control. The WJC does matter and it is a lot of fun to watch, your just bitter we lost. It was clear from the very first game we were not going to medal, this was the natural result. Our goaltending was trash, just like last year, but above that our coaching was GOD awful. We did not progress between games or work on ANY strategy whatsoever. The roster was crazy talented but they were misused constantly (Virtanen shouldn't have been getting ice time) and they never played as a cohesive team. They played like a Jr all star team who were just trying to show off their "sick dangles" then got outclassed by national teams who wanted to win. Plain as that.

Daily reminder that Canada was missing 5 players that would have made this a walk in the park:
Connor McDavid
Aaron Ekblad
Sam Bennett
Robby Fabbri
Jared McCann
None of these other teams can say they were missing 5 of their top young players. Some teams had 1 player missing and that is it. So this was basically Canada's B junior team, which still was expected to win.
Also, teams other than USA and Canada are use to playing on the bigger ice surface. The play in this tournament will not correlate directly to play on the North American sized rinks. So expect Finland and Sweden players to shit the bed in the NHL.

>>64628741
It's a great excuse though because every bit of it is true. Your great players in your leagues suck dick when they transition over to the NHL, and same goes for most NHL players when they try to play in your leagues (ie lockout fun). It is a fact that the majority of international players will either not make it in the NHL or take a few years in the AHL to figure out how to play on the smaller ice surface. Where as the American and Canadian players are already there and can jump in a lot quicker, and also have a higher probability to play in the NHL.

>>64628888
Panarin has adjusted to the NHL rink size pretty well, at least.
It helps to play on a line with the current best offensive player in the game though.

>>64628889
Wow, didn't even realize how good these fucks are doing. Also, it seems like Campbell and Ekblad are the best d pairing, no? Comparing the stats of those two and Kulikov, it seems given TOI and +/- that Campbell and Ekblad are partners. Either way, Luongo must be standing on his head in lots of games.
>>64630006
I don't think so most of their best players don't anyway.
Canada lost because this team was fucking young as shit and inexperienced on Europe ice under euro rules.
It's a weird year but you can't win em all, and should be a more experienced bigger team next year
>>64629899
>not knowing about the Tasmanian Devil
He's a great Bottom 6 player honestly.
>>64630022
Which proves my point. But I think that is a little misleading. Hall is more of straight line high top speed kind of player, while Kane is the elusive high end acceleration/agility type of player. Kane is more like Eberle, if Eberle had foot speed.
>>64630081
Campbell played with Ekblad during most of his rookie season, Kuli's been with him lately while Soupy plays with Gudbranson.
>>64629660
I should clarify that I think he would be productive on most teams, not ROTY caliber though.
Panarin isnt really a no-name though, he was one of the top players in the KHL (which I guess doesn't mean much in the NHL)
>>64630085
But I'm pretty sure more than half of the USA players drafted always have their junior team listed as the US development. Which makes me think this team mostly stays together all year and plays other teams around the world.
>>64630081
Campbell plays with Gudbranson.
Luongo doesn't have stand on his head. The team isnt making him face 50 shots a night anymore.

only difference is a bit wider (note: finnish rinks are on the minimum iihf allows) ice. other than that it's identical
>>64630186
Weird given the stats.
Campbell is by far the most underrated dman in the league though. Always has been. Won a cup with Chicago, but his offense went down there and his 7mil contract was too much, so they shipped him off to Florida (which was gm'd by Chicago's previous gm who manufactured their amazing core). His foot speed and smart hockey sense is one of the best in the league, and if his contract wasn't so high he'd probably still be a Hawk.
>>64630191
There have been "top" players from other leagues come here before and shit the bed though. Panarin is lucky to be playing with Kane. Kane is one of the few players who would adapt seamlessly to the big ice, so he can probably relate to Panarin's game well.
>Islanders

>>64630367
Tallon did an unbelievable job assembling that core but was a fuck up with cap management.
I'm actually really surprised how well Stan Bowman has manipulated the cap and cut high contracts while the team so successful, but Tallon should be a legend in Chicago for building the base
>>64630288
They are until they aren't. If they were traded away after a cup winning season, then they are definitely a system baby that will end up hurting, salary cap wise, the team they get traded/signed too.

>This is the best goaltender sweden has to offer

They don't really have a 1st pairing playing big minutes. The shutdown pair with Mitchell and Petrovic plays with the Huby-Barkov-Jagr line, which gets most of the defensive zone starts. The other two pairs play with the more offensively oriented 2nd and 3rd lines. Ekblad and Kulikov are playing with the 1st PP unit though.
Soupy is an elite puck mover and still very agile. He'd be a perfect mentor for a team like Edmonton whose D have trouble with breakouts. He made Jason Garrison and Tom Gilbert look like top-pairing defensemen.

I was referring to the international referees calling the game tighter than in NA
Not claiming refpuck btw

>>64630779
yeah well personal interpretations of rules will always remain but it was an american ref
>>64630783
prolly because he has spent half his life chasing a rubber puck and the other half banging 5/5 grills
>>64630783
why doesn't the faggot swede interviewing him learn finnish?

Non-system babies are the ones who would do well any where they go, regardless of teammates around them. Hossa has proven he can do this. Toews, Keith, and Seabrook are also great enough to fall into this category. Kane is questionable because he has been sheltered by the Toews/Hossa line for a long time. He doesn't typically see minutes against other teams top lines. But as a second line, that gets matched up against other teams bottom three lines, he would be great for anyone. But some teams wouldn't be able to run that scheme, especially when Kane would be their highest paid player. Hjalmarsson is also questionable because he has been sheltered by Keith and Seabrook. He is a great number 3-4 dman though, but I wouldn't want him as my top pairing guy.

The refs have been pretty shit for the entire tournament regardless of who's playing.
Pretty much every game has had more than one blatantly phantom call, and a few soft ones that wouldn't get called here
Especially that Finland Slovakia game

If he doesn't win a cup with Florida this year, I'm betting he goes to a true cup contender at a huge pay cut (less than 4mil). I can't see him coming to Edmonton unless he is only out for more money, but that would be disgustingly greedy of him (7mil for how long!?).
>>64630907
yeah few soft calls again and an autistic obsession over faceoffs but 2bh I don't really think it included the game much either way (i know you didn't claim refpuck)
canucks love slashing defense but not many calls were made there so IMO moot point even dragging rules into it
>>64630907
It's a conspiracy! Bettman is paying off the refs and IIHF to once and for all cuck Canada.
>>64630992
Nobody is out yet. The worst team could easily be in the hunt with as little as a 5 game win streak, then continue playing above .500 from there. The next month will determine the true garbage teams.

Canadian players commit more penalties than European players due to the relaxed rules over here.
They need to learn to play in Europe t bh, the Americans aren't having the same troubles.
Or cut shitters like virtanen

Yeah there were some reports some time ago that he was unhappy because the team was so shit for so long. 2nd best UFA behind Buff next season 2bh. I agree he wants big money for multiple years if a non-contender intends to sign him.
nice one binland
Canada was p trash, not trying to make excuses or >dmg control, but did anyone expect us to win? I mean yes, it is Canada, but holy fuck watching that team, they were shit
>>64631112
They don't need to learn how to play the international game, only the NHL game. So as long as the NHL is more relaxed then the international game, they will be just fine.
>>64631210
2nd best UFA defenseman I meant to say
Would anyone be interested in a /hoc/ redraft of particular draft years? I can make a survey which organizes the prospects and each entry can list their top 10-15. Could be interesting.

Tolch is playing like ass and all the elite blueliners in the world doesn't mean shit if you can't score goals, buddy.

They seemed to be a little better than the finns, but were to retarded to get anything done. There needs to be a written test for players invited to the Canadian camp to keep the retards out.
>>64631210
I'd say he is better than Buff. Buff will ask for too much and end up crippling the chumps who take him. Campbell will take less and compliment the team he goes too.
>>64631261
Do it.
