With the Sharks (101pts) losing in the WCF and the Canes (99pts) losing the ECF, I guess the Ducks get the 29th pick.

I don't believe that once the Perry and Getzlaf contracts are up that will mean that they will not be offered anymore contracts from the Ducks. Maybe Perry takes off to Canada but Getzlaf has roots here and until someone in the system can be a producer like him, I doubt he's going anywhere. If you're talking about the best goal scorer in the draft then that's Caufield. The next player after that would probably be Kaliyev. I don't think Caufield would really fit in with the Ducks and Kaliyev has the reputation of being lazy. I'm just hoping that Dach falls into our position because in the realm of there being a legitimate Getzlaf replacement, I think he fits that bill.

You have Getzlaf and Perry there and they are current, not past players. I would add Pahlsson and Moen. I would switch Havelid with Tverdosky. You're spot on with the goalies. To have 14 forwards I would also add Bobby Ryan and Jeff Friesen. My 7th D-man would be Dollas. Kariya Ruuchin Selanne Federov McDonald Sykora Moen Pahlsson Niedermayer Kunitz Oates Kurri

Some of the predictions I've seen are Lassi Thomson, a Finnish RHD going 28 or 29. I would be perfectly happy with that pick. Rakell was #30 in his draft year and he's turned out pretty decent

Well, we either get the 28th or 29th. I'm pulling for the Blues and Canes in the SCF.

We need the Sharks to lose. If it's St Louis and the Sharks in the WCF and St Louis loses we get the 28th pick. If the Sharks lose against the Avs I think we get the 23rd pick. If the Sharks and Hurricanes both lose in the WCF we get the 29th pick.

Wait....GMBM signed a Finn? I guess the love affair with Sweden is over.

All the division winners lost in the first round so it's Tampa 27th, Calgary 26th, Washington 25th and Nashville 24th. Boston (107pts) 23rd, NYI (103pts) 22nd are both ahead of the Sharks in points so if they all lose this round, the Sharks pick would be #21..LOL I keep on forgetting about Dallas messing up the order. Knowing our luck, the Sharks and Blues go to the WCF. I'm kind of pulling for the Blues and the BJ's for the SCF.

A shiny new barstool perhaps?

28th or 29th. We really want the Sharks, Islanders and Bruins to lose this round. That bumps the Sharks pick up a few spots. If the Blues, Avs and BJ's lose this round, I think that bumps the Blues pick to 20th.

Yeah it is but since the Knights are up 3-2 against the Sharks, I'm sure they will win that series. Then they go against Colorado in the next round and both teams had fewer points than the Blues so that lowers the Blues to the potential 19th pick. I guess I'm doing the figuring right...LOL. At this point, I think we end up with the Sharks pick which could be 22 or 23 which isn't anything to complain about.

If St Louis loses in the conference final, they would get the 28th or 29th pick. (The teams that lose in Conference Finals picks 28 and 29). The 20th pick is out of reach by my best questimation. The best scenario is for Trashville and the Caps to lose by the second round since they are division winners. Tampa (128pts) gets the 27th pick, Calgary (107pts) gets the 26th pick. Then we need the Bruins to lose by the second round as well. If all that happens and the Shaks lose by the second round, we end up with the 22nd pick....I think. Correction: If the Stars and Knights lose this round and the Blues, Columbus and Avs lose in the second round, we get the 20th pick but I think that's highly unlikely.

I got this from wiki so I don't know how accurate it is: The teams that did not qualify for the playoffs the previous season (picks 1–15) The teams that made the playoffs in the previous season but did not win either their division in the regular season or play in the Conference Finals (picks 16–23 up to 27) The teams that won their divisions in the previous season but did not play in the Conference Finals (potentially picks 24–27) The teams that lose in Conference Finals (picks 28 and 29) The team that was the runner-up in the Stanley Cup Finals (pick 30) The team that won the Stanley Cup in the previous season (pick 31)

The 11-12 season is when Carlyle was fired. The modern era Ducks worst regular seasons were with Carlyle behind the bench except for the Cup season of course. The worst goal differential was the 00-01 season. The worst modern era goal differential was the 11-12 season.
