I think Garth is going to ensure that luck is essentially removed from the equation and replaced by odds. And since the odds of picking first are higher when finishing last, its a good time to mention that the Isles are now officially tied for the fewest points in the league.
And with Streit and Visnovsky and Nabokov very possibly traded by the deadline for picks/prospects (made possible by the Thomas cap hit acquisition), taking sole possession of last place is pretty much in Snow's control. Snow probably still has a bitter taste in his mouth after having to beg Columbus for their pick (by allegedly offering all of the Isles' picks, in an unsuccessful attempt to get Ryan Murray) in order to possess the most NHL ready d-man in the draft.

Get ready to be re-united in Brooklyn, Jones family.
Also his would selection complete the 6'4 quartet, and make for perfectly aligned future pairings...
LD - RD
Reinhart '94 - Jones '94
Pedan '93 - Mayfield '92
