In exchange for the New England Journal of Medicine's poster boy for the pathology of groin injuries, Semyon Varlamov, the Caps received from the Colorado Avalanche their first pick in the 2012 entry draft next June. Many folks thought that pick might be a lottery pick. So, from time to time we thought we would have a little fun with it and post the "Colorado Lottery Pick Meter" (Avs fans, it's all in fun, like photoshopping Ovechkin in a tutu or something).
The meter runs from "1" to "30," the lower the number being worse for the Caps, for it reflects the Avalanche's place in the league standings. For example, this morning they are fourth, according to NHL.com, and that had Caps GM George McPhee in a somewhat foul expression...

"The meter runs from "1" to "30," the lower the number being worse for the Caps, for it reflects the Avalanche's place in the league standings." Don't you mean the lower the number the better for the Caps, as the worse the Avalanche do, the better our chance at a high draft pick?
Guess I needed to be clearer about what "lower" means in this instance. I took it literally -- 1 being lower than 30. 30 is best, 1 is worst.
