Start rooting for your team to lose to get better draft odds

[elocomotive]

Seriously, it's productive. If your team is a lottery team, being 28th in the league is much better odds than being 24th. The odds skew better towards the worse teams, and whatever skew you get is worth hoping for so your team gets better draft odds.

Players don't tank. They are out there playing for their careers. So who you cheer for doesn't really impact that anyway. You really want them to be missing out on future talent to play alongside? Hope for better things for those guys are still the rest of your team. You should root for your team to lose so they can get some talent.

Just a quick rant. Fight me.

This is about the time of year when the Jackets should start winning some meaningless games

I never root for the Flames to lose, but at this time of year and given their place in the standings, losses don't upset me lol

Oh you mean you pick prospects in the NHL draft? I thought they were meant to be traded away.

Man HOF ex-GMJR really ruined me.

Maybe the two parallel threads - one start/one stop, one NHL/one NBA - will line up right on top of each other.

This afternoon at work just got interesting.

Let me also add the Penguins have more picks in the 7th round this draft vs all other rounds combined.

Habs got Eric Staal, no chance of a lottery pick now.

Congratulations to the presumptive champs.

I'm assuming my team will be forfeiting the rest of the season, so mission accomplished.
and then we will lose the lottery but the most places possible.

I do not necessarily think that, just think they will at a minimum lose the cup finals in the 7th game in double OT. They have Drouin too.

Dude, Dallas Eakins coaches the team I follow the closest. And you tell me now it’s ok to root against them? Hell, I’d take Randy Carlyle back today no questions asked. You’re damn right I’m rooting against the Ducks every game.
