NHL 2021 kisailu (Athletic)

[Raju kakka]

Sean McIndoe (Down Goes Brown) esittelee mielenkiintoisen skaban The Athleticissa:

Here’s how this will work:

For each question, you must post at least one answer or as many as five, or anything in between. It’s up to you.
Your first right answer on a given question is worth one point. A second right answer is worth two more points, a third right answer is worth three more, and so on. In other words, getting just one right answer is worth one point, two right answers add up to three (1+2), three right answers is worth six (1+2+3). Four answers gets you ten points, while going five-for-five is worth the maximum score of 15. There’s an incentive here to go for as many answers as you can.
But … and this is the big one … having even one wrong answer means you get nothing for that question. Each question is all-or-nothing, meaning going four-for-five is the same as going zero-for-five. So how many answers do you try? Just how confident are you? That’s where the strategy comes in.

Make sure to read the questions carefully; if you list a guy who wasn’t eligible, he won’t earn you any points (but won’t negate the rest of your answer).
The winner is the person with the most points across all eight questions. Feel free to discuss these wherever you want, tweet at me, or whatever else, but to be eligible to win a prize, you must post your answers in the comments section of this post before 5:30 p.m. ET on January 13. If you change your mind or post multiple answers, your most recent one will be considered your official entry.
If the season is cancelled or something happens that makes it impossible to have a winner, well, at least it was a cool idea.

After the first day of 2021 free agency, whenever that is, we’ll look back and figure out who won and laugh at everyone else’s dumb predictions. The winner will earn two signed copies of my book: One for them, and one for a friend or family member which I will sign with whatever you want, including something insulting about their favorite team. Honestly, the second book is a way more valuable prize than the first.

Simple enough. Here come your questions. Remember, this test is so easy that any dummy should be able to ace it … or at least we’ll all feel that way in hindsight.

1. Name up to five teams that will definitely make the playoffs this year.

2. Name up to five teams that will definitely not make the playoffs this year.

3. Name five coaches that will definitely not be fired before the first day of 2021 free agency, NOT including any coach who was hired to their current job after January 1, 2020.

4. Name five GMs that will definitely not be fired before the first day of 2021 free agency, NOT including any GM who was hired to their current job after January 1, 2020.

5. Name five goaltenders who will definitely start at least 60 percent of their team’s regular-season games this year.

6. Name up to five rookies who will definitely finish in the top 10 of Calder balloting this year.

7. Name up to five players who will definitely finish in the top 15 of Hart Trophy voting this year.

8. Name up to five players who are currently on an NHL roster that will definitely change teams between the start of the season and the end of the first day of NHL free agency. (This includes being picked in the expansion draft, but not retirement or otherwise exiting the league entirely.)

Nerokas idea, ja tähänhän tekisi mieli väsätä jonkinlainen vastaus

Ei muuta kuin kisailemaan.

Kaikki vielä turvassa, 15 pistettä tulossa

Jim Rutherford toistaiseksi ainoa lähtenyt GM, eli 15 pistettä tästäkin.

5. Name five goaltenders who will definitely start at least 60 percent of their team’s regular-season games this year.
Blackwood, Vasilevski, Andersen

Blackwood ja Andersen eivät ole saavuttamassa rajapyykkiä. 0 pistettä.

6. Name up to five rookies who will definitely finish in the top 10 of Calder balloting this year.
Lafrenière, Shesterkin, Byfield

Byfield ei ole vielä pelannut peliäkään, joten 0 pistettä tulossa.

7. Name up to five players who will definitely finish in the top 15 of Hart Trophy voting this year.

Kaikki näyttävät aika turvallisilta veikkauksilta, 6 pistettä tulossa.

Molemmat oikein, eli 3 pistettä.

Tällä hetkellä siis tulossa.... 69 pistettä. Voi toki vielä romahtaa, mikäli joku GM tai koutsi lähtee ennen 2021 free agencyn alkua.
