I'll be honest, because I misunderstood the phase 2 lottery odds, I thought the Habs should they lose to Pit would have the highest odds of the 8 teams. Knowing now that its all 12.5% for the teams that don't win the play in round is kind of silly. They really, and yes Im totally bias but, should have reseeded the odds based on PT% of the teams that lost the play in round.

No what they should have done is just had the lottery after the play ins.

Agreed. It's pretty nonsensical to let teams that did really well during the regular season have a chance at Lafreniere. You can call me biased, too.

@jslongo: I would assume that if Juulsen is healthy he will have that last RD spot instead of Fleury: reason being that Juulsen would have to pass through waivers while Fleury would not. I think the Canadiens, no matter what anyone thinks of Juulsen as a player, do not want to loose him for nothing.

Well, that just makes too much sense. Me no likey dat. - Gary Bettman

I'm ok giving those teams a chance but giving them equal chance, just seems counter productive to what the NHL is trying to do. That's why I misunderstood it originally. Oh well, things could be worse, we could be Detroit. Haha poor souls.
