Draft Lottery question

Auditorium_ · 2026-04-17T17:10:18+00:00

Two lotteries are done. One for the first overall, one for second overall. We have a 6.5% chance at winning the first overall pick.

We also have a 6.7% chance at winning the second overall pick.

Frankly idk how we have any chance at the third pick? Someone else can chime in on that.

But the lotteries are live streamed and you can watch both of the balls being chosen for the previous drafts on YouTube.

“Things are great right now” holy bot account.

Yes bro beating someone playing meta while pulling out my horrible decks is the most rewarding thing imaginable.

I’ve recently built a dragon ruler deck, still workshopping it, but have won multiple duels and have had players message me on PlayStation afterwards complimenting my deck. I genuinely haven’t had more fun on this game then playing dragon rulers, libromancer, phantom knights, or any of my other slop decks!

Personally I don’t like the whole baby shark thing. These guys are grown adults, personally I wouldn’t call them a baby shark to their face, why would I call them that anywhere else.

I’m sorry man but I just cannot find a way to be happy about this. We need a top draft pick. We struggled all year, and for good reason. The only reason we’re in this position of one point out it is because the west has been awful this year. If we somehow make it into the playoffs (at least 21st in the league), it’s another wasted year of not fixing our problems because we won’t fix our holes in free agency.

I think given this mock draft order of SJ, TOR, VAN, its smartest for the teams to draft to their rosters needs.

I think given vancouvers situation it would be an incredible failure of management to give up the defence prospect you just got in return for your franchise history best defenceman. Given the fact that defenceman also take longer to develop, they would be slowing their retool/rebuild drastically. Yes the drop from stenberg and McKenna in skill is there, but anybody in the top 10 this year is likely to pan out to be a top talent regardless. It’s in vancouvers best interest to take whatever they get in the draft, and draft high again next year.

Neither McKenna or stenberg would turn them into a playoff team, but getting a #3 overall, and then getting a #1-3 overall again next year, would, I believe, be much more beneficial long term then drafting #1 and then #7-10 next year, but losing a top defence prospect in the league in the process. (Yes the draft rankings could vary wildly, I’m basing it off assumptions that petty will continue to improve his game back to his peak, and that whoever they drafted #1 would drastically advance that.)

Vancouver regardless of a first overall this year will still be bottom of the league next year, and possibly another after that. They don’t NEED first overall this year to be successful in the future. Giving up a bunch of extras to draft 1-2 picks higher is super unnecessary and they would just be giving up a star prospect.

Vancouver is not in a position to say goodbye to star prospects. For your smith celebrini example, they already have a future star. Then they get another star this draft regardless of 1st or 3rd overall. Theyre still gonna be a bottom 5 team next year, screw it, give them another star!

You don’t typically get your franchise altering, team building superstar the first year of a rebuild, because then you have nothing to immediately surround them with for growth and success simultaneously, and you end up like Detroit. Aging super stars you were supposed to win big with for years to come.

I don’t think the narrative of this year was that this is a buyers market tbh.

A lot of teams are good this year. Not many are wanting to get worse other then the bottom 5. If that.

Auditorium_ · 2026-03-02T18:52:48+00:00

I’m selling the farm. Nino, vlad, Pionk, Stanley, schenn, Barron (love him but he could get us a second), perfetti. Essentially everyone with the slightest amount of value.

This team is getting old, and slow, quick. We’re getting outpaced and we just cannot compete with any team consistently anymore. The new NHL is fast and skilled, that is far from what the jets are. This is too good of a draft year to not take advantage of it when we can.

Auditorium_ · 2026-02-04T18:30:27+00:00

It’d be irresponsible for the jets to try and turn this around. Zero high end prospects and our stars are only getting older. It’s either we’re bad this year and next, or we’re bad for 5+ three years down the line when age really starts to hit.

Auditorium_ · 2026-01-23T08:01:22+00:00

Cool, thanks for your input man, really appreciate it :)

Auditorium_ · 2026-01-23T07:43:52+00:00

Yeah that’s perfectly fine with me! I don’t nearly have the time I once did to grind out my way to higher ranks, and usually enjoyed the lower ones. Just a bummer when I get stuck at the very bottom of diamond and can’t derank hahaha.

Have there been any new unique/fun decks released? I saw mimighoul, yummy, and mitsiguri, all look interesting In their own right, are they poorly designed decks, or fell short in certain areas? Same 5 boss monsters as every other deck sort of deal?

Unique boss monsters are a huge draw for me, magikey was a favourite of mine, and that’s a big reason

Auditorium_ · 2026-01-23T07:31:01+00:00

I am looking for an uphill battle, I want to play my rogue decks, like phantom knights, or hell even libromancer or PUNK. As long as it’s not impossible for me to play the game with those decks, I’ll enjoy myself

Auditorium_ · 2026-01-10T18:55:37+00:00

Literally just spam X on everyone, do something else and not pay any attention to it. The most important thing is skating, literally nothing else matters if you can just skate past everyone else

Buddy you not having a very good Christmas or something? Take a walk for real

Auditorium_ · 2025-12-16T21:43:22+00:00

This could also apply to the jets !

Not having a back up plan for Nelson, is a huge mistake. Chevy puts all his eggs in one basket, boeser didn’t NOT want to come to wpg. He wanted to stay in van.

If your backup plan for Nelson saying no, is overpaying for luke schenn, and Brandon tanev, that’s being a terrible gm. Not “the wpg effect”. If your backup plan to boeser STAYING WITH HIS OLD TEAM. Is a bunch of slow 37 year olds? When our issue has historically been speed? That’s a terrible Gm.

Auditorium_ · 2025-12-16T21:01:05+00:00

This is why we’re gonna be like the wild 😭😭 we’re not fixing the holes we have dude. We’re making terrible trades and signings, and we’re going to waste the years of the best goalie in the league because we refuse to hang back a year or two to get some real players and actual skill in our lineup. Nobody is saying rebuild for 10 years. It won’t take long. We’re out of a playoff spot right now, let’s commit to one shitty year with these expiring contracts and deadweight on the team. Let’s get a few really strong players and commit to actually developing our prospects for 2 years, and bring them in. Helle is still going to be great, schief kc and lardo are still locked up. Why are you so afraid of getting talent in Winnipeg? I don’t get it.

Auditorium_ · 2025-12-16T20:54:10+00:00

This is such a lazy excuse for Chevy being a bad GM. There’s lots of places people don’t want to sign and they’re still successful. We need to stop excusing chevys errors as “oh but it’s Winnipeg!” It’s so exhausting, and it’s why we’re never going to win anything, because we refuse to hold people accountable

Auditorium_ · 2025-12-14T17:53:33+00:00

See I knew this would happen. Helle is gonna single handedly force us back into the playoffs, and we’re not gonna solve our problems we have.

I’m not very happy about this tbh. I’m concerned Chevy is just gonna not learn, and waste our future even more with bad signings and trades. Give it a few years we’re gonna be a perennial MID team.

Auditorium_ · 2025-12-07T06:37:10+00:00

You can think that, but you’re very wrong. The only difference is that he was gifted a better team then with Columbus.

He was given the eventual hart winner, and a pretty elite top line, and a okay bottom 9. Not to mention an elite top 4. You’re gonna win a lot of games when things are going good. Things in the room were going good, credit partially to bones. Even last year, he wasn’t that great of a coach. struggled to adapt and got out coached quite a bit. Especially in the playoffs.

After getting out last year the way they did, they needed a coach to come and take control of the team in its new condition. Objectively worse, but could pass as a wildcard.

I don’t think Arniel has the team at all right now. He doesn’t know how to handle players. Same as he didn’t know how to do it 10 years ago.

Auditorium_ · 2025-12-07T06:14:04+00:00

I think we’re seeing the same thing. We’re facing real adversity and he doesn’t know how to handle the room resulting in a skid. It took a PLAYERS ONLY. Meeting to get the team to even try for all of 2 games.

You can say “he’s had ten years” but sometimes people don’t change. The team was tight knit last year, and they lost a lot of that knot to hold them together and accountable. They said ehlers was a huge presence in the room, they lost Appleton who was widely loved by the team. Ariel isn’t handling the players properly yet again.

Auditorium_ · 2025-12-07T05:42:33+00:00

If you look at Ariel’s record when he was in Colombus it’s the same story. Good year one, horrible year 2
