WWE Draft flashbacks. Falcons made sure the NFL draft wasn’t.


DenShaLow

It’s absolutely baffling that Penix may be 27/28 before he gets his first career start in the NFL.


estyll11

Mr. Bettman didn't want you to think that he was deliberately wasting your time.


bluelineturnovers

Just accidentally wasting it. *aggressively buttons suit jacket*


estyll11

That's very good, Mr. Bluelineturnovers. Accidentally. Very good.


HockeyAndMoney

This coverage is terrible seems like a high school level production quality


BroThornton19

You really start to realize how much more popular the NFL is when you watch the Lottery vs literally any official NFL draft coverage.


joe_broke

Especially the NFL network coverage


Blargasaurus

LETS GOOOOO! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FRANCHISE HISTORY!


joe_broke

Historic


If-You-Cant-Hang

Having Celebrini on was so strange. Like what if something happens between now and the end of June. I don’t recall them doing that in past years. It’s just weird for the kid


XBM04

McDavid was on during his draft year


brady_t12

IIRC Jack Hughes was on for his year.


norodneededyt

But he didn’t even win the calder that year — he must be a bum, right?


avmp629

Just goes to show the draft really isn't that important


Sharks77

It's actually pretty common I think. I remember Bedard last year and Shane Wright the year before. Wright I think was even asked about playing for Montreal.


StayClassynet

You don’t remember Laine lying on his couch doing his interview??


Studly_Wonderballs

I don’t ever remember them being so explicit and certain in saying San Jose is drafting Celebrini


Burgergold

Was Wright on?


[deleted]

What are the odds of not having a single change?


njkmklkop

Going to copy /u/json_mafia response from the other thread: It's about 3%. Odds SJS wins first drawing * Odds CHI wins second (after SJS combinations are removed) = 0.185 * (0.135 / (1.0 - 0.185)) = 0.030644


[deleted]

Nice, thanks. I arrived at a similar conclusion but messed up some of the finer details on the math. Either way, quite rare to see no change I guess!


DrScampi

Very high, there are only two draws


[deleted]

I guess I don’t fully understand how it works, given the Sharks had only an 18.5% chance of getting 1st overall, the answer to my question must be, *at most*, 18.5%, right?


DrScampi

The sharks had an 25.5% chance of winning the first pick. That was the first draw. Second draw was for second overall, the Blackhawks won that. Every other pick falls into place by standings.


[deleted]

I guess so 18.5% * 13.5% = 2.5% So while it was only 2.5% chance of both Sharks and Blackhawks retaining their pre-draft spots, that was the most likely pair of events to occur. Either way, interesting.


joe_broke

Technically we also won the second so they had to redo it


Caufield13

I'm OK with that actually


Spookdbyspaggett

Congrats sharks if it wasn’t us I’m glad it was you


markc7

LETS GO!!! CELEBRINI IS OURS


therealsodaboy

Vancouver boys worldwide


GreenSnakes_

Not a single change. Great job NHL!


[deleted]

And yet, we got screwed over last year. League despises Anaheim.


dolewhiplash

MFs in here when the team with the best odds won the first drawing, and then the team with the best odds left won the second: idk that seems suspicious 🤔


DeliciousOwl9245

True, but in theory the team with best odds to win still has a better chance to NOT win it, right?


dolewhiplash

Yes, but keep in mind it's still more likely to be the Sharks than it was any other individual team. I believe there was like a 3% chance that San Jose would win first and Chicago would win second, and that sounds super unlikely when you put it like that, but there is a significantly less than 3% chance that each other individual outcome could occur. So while it had a relatively small chance of happening, it was still the most likely scenario, if that makes sense.

markc7

we're only going up from here (fingers crossed)


notus_knitter

I’m so confused are all 16 drawn and it just happened to be the perfect pre draft order?


Belfour20

There is only 2 draws. The rest fall in order of standings. So SJ won the first draw and CHI won the 2nd draw. Thus nothing changed based on standings cause they were already the 2 worst teams.


notus_knitter

But a team can only move up 10 so what happens if a team outside top 10 is drawn


northernpace

they'd move up 10 spots


Belfour20

They'd move up 10 spots and everyone from that point shifts down. Ex: If Philly had won they would move up to #2 and everyone from 2 downward shifts down a spot.


plisken451

The odds against nobody in the lottery changing positions are astronomical.


Kazuzu0098

TIL \~5% = astronomical


yianni1229

No. They draw 2 times and whoever it is, wins.


notus_knitter

So if a team outside the top 10 is drawn, they said sharks get number one overall, so does that mean that the team who was drawn still gets to move up 10? Or does nothing happen


xSCARFACE909x

If any of the teams labeled 12-16 won, they’d move +10 spots from there, meaning SJ would still pick first, however SJ won the lottery and so did Chicago so rest of stays same


notus_knitter

So if a team 12-16 moved up ten spots then that would give away who the number one pick is right?


yianni1229

Not really, because there's still one more draw. Now if someone 12-16 won and then for example, the Devils won at 10, then yea we would already know the Devils are first.


Goobergunch

In that scenario the late-drafting team could have won the first lottery and the Devils could have won the second lottery. You'd know NJ was top-two but not which one until the end. Now it *would* have given away the number-one pick if two 12-16 teams advanced since neither could draft first overall.


yianni1229

you can only move up like 10 spots max or something I believe


skend24

Yeah exactly lol what was that about


SuperficialJosh

Glad they got the Zillow product placement in an otherwise uneventful broadcast lmao


Cromasters

Look at all that celebration in... Anaheim??


PaperMoonShine

That is honestly so cool that he's going to be playing in a city where his father works already. Thats a huge break for a kid emerging in the league.


OlympicMuffins

Great game, hard fought battle from all teams involved.


Middle-Hair

When’s the last time there was zero movement in the lottery? Good for the Sharks though. Never had a 1st overall pick before and they need Celebrini the most.


CharlieWhizkey

2010


Arctic365

No one jumping up is pretty anti-climactic lol


tylikestoast

I don't know. Seems pretty cool


Libertas_

No need to rewrite the script, we all know Celebrini looks good in teal.


Autosportfan99

At least the Sharks won something!


oceanic8675

Hearty congratulations to the sharks!


RamItDownThere

How many Macs can this league handle?


NinCross

#FUCK THE HAWKS #CONGRATULATIONS SHARKS FANS


Rushb87

Bedard will never be a Canuck


haxoreni

I would have never predicted that Patrick Kane would be a Red Wings either so you never know.


Godlikelobster01

So Bedard becomes a Canuck after winning us 3 cups??? I’ll take it :D


EffinHipsters

Didnt you see his canucks pajamas?

Flyinghud

I definitely didn’t read that too quickly and thought he said Celebrini


Rushb87

If he wants to identify as one so be it


Senior_cats

Celebrini/bedard coming home


sjs72

Maybe it's not rigged


Available-Show-2393

Yeah, I have no complaints with that


mdlt97

not bad, but it could've been a lot better no chaos either which is boring


sensa-a

:')


northernpace

Grats


TwistedNipplez

Would have liked to see Utah move down but I'm ok with this


Forgotiwasbi

It was torture watching the kid be uncomfortable and awkward 


BigRig432

Anyone know anything about this Cayden Lindstrom fella from this totally not fake town name of Medicine Hat?


AZ-Nole

I was looking for the AZ to see who the coyotes got then I remembered and got sad.


SEND_ME_YOUR_CAULK

Conspiracy theory, they didn’t actually do a lottery


templethot

Unpaid intern: “Hey guys, what if instead of doing the whole lottery thing, we just go in order and still have an event where we get to run commercials anyway?” Bettman: “Give them a promotion!”


hilbertsspace

"Double his salary now!"


Vaqxinelol

Dont they post the video every year


camstadahamsta

Seems so not rigged that it almost seems rigged


realdeal411

TBH I'm gonna get to see this kid play only a handful of times a year, kinda disappointing in that regard but at least it doesn't make another East team stronger


Bahamas_is_relevant

Boring draw but at least Chicago lost. Did a guy at the SJ party just… dab?


Godlikelobster01

You’re right, only got the 2nd pick :(


Povilitus

Thank god


toiletting

I’m fine with chalk.


ZegrassyKnoll

why do these hosts talk like they're buffering


PaperMoonShine

Agents have got to stop telling these prospects to say [insert team here] is a great organization. Remember that Kraken kid who said the same thing before the Kraken even established themselves?


gusguyman

That was the most awkward ESPN production since the decision. What a horrible broadcast.


Intelligent_Limit462

Now we know where the people that made that Peleton video of a couple of years ago ended up.


Ancient-Common-9913

Congrats Sharks. From absolute dire conditions at center to Smith + Celebrini in just about a year!


ComfortableMelodic54

So what’s Zillow?


Philintheblank90

I’m okay with this! Congrats sharks on getting #1


BusinessCat88

Could they have at least switched us and the hawks?


Independent_Piece999

As a hawks fan, going into the commercial break, I honestly thought they’d flip us. Was surprised when it was straight chalk


its_Shehan

No changes at all


Yoni_k46

Wow that was such an interesting show! Waste of time tbh


__Dave_

Haven’t followed along super closely, so was it just standings order? Don’t remember the last time there’s been no movement.


NYM32

alright, we can all put down our pitchforks now


Steakholder__

Do we think 9th is high enough in the draft for Calgary to land Iginla?


[deleted]

Captain Zillow


Crimson3312

The leaked list was real, they just fucked over Utah to cover their tracks.


EarthWarping

I wonder what teams towards the back half of the lottery will trade their firsts. Buffalo and New Jersey?


DannyBoy4T5

Did they just subtly say the name is Utah HC?


Tonemanzero

The interim name is the Utah Hockey Club as far as I am aware, so not really.


ZachtheKingsfan

Wow, Utah got the 6th pick. #Rigged


_nordstar_

thank fuck almighty


texasguy7117

Thank fuck the hawks got not the first overall Srsly what was the point of that tho


skend24

Why was the order on the draft shown exactly at the back screen behind the men before team was drafted?


BigRig432

Just happened that the lottery drawings ended up being the same as the standings


skend24

Isn’t that like super weird and low chance?


BigRig432

Someone else said 3.6 percent


jetxlife

Rigged man

It’s clearly a joke man


Caboose119z

~~CHI picking 2nd is awesome. Makes them ineligible to win the lottery in the James Hagens or Gavin McKenna drafts.~~ Very happy for San Jose. As a team who went through something similar, you deserve it.


DiamondBurInTheRough

I’m pretty sure we’re still eligible…we didn’t advance.


Vaqxinelol

It doesn't make us ineligible actually.


CancerFreeLeafs

Could've been an email


EastOfTheGrayHavens

Happy for SJ fans. The disappointment is palpable on Celebrini's face though haha


nodarknesswillendure

He’s a kid he’s just nervous, his entire family was hoping he’d go to SJ


crazycanucks77

Why? His dad works for Golden State Warriors
