Hey Canadians? How does the NHL lottery work?

Posted by David (aka David) Apr 18 '13, 10:30

I'm trying to figure out where I should be expecting the Predators to pick. They're shocking close to the worst team in hockey this year. If they finish third from the bottom, what are their odds of picking first? How about staying in the top three?

I miss the old NBA ping-pong ball system... and Orlando winning it with their one lonely ping-pong ball in the hopper. -- nm - Was Bar Was Apr 18, 10:47

- Is this designed to avoid a "race to the bottom" and prevent teams from sinking themselves in the final weeks to get a better draft pick? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Apr 18, 11:02
- Thanks! So...how many uber-prospects are there in this year's draft? - David Apr 18, 10:46 3

    - Your IM is the key. It makes the MLB draft look like an exact science. -- nm - spamlet Apr 18, 11:10
  - I've mentioned this before, but my favourite thing about this year's draft is that the expected #1 is Popeye Jones' son. -- nm - Reagen Apr 18, 10:58
They changed it this year. They only draw 1 number though. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 18, 10:34 4

- Was this because of Edmonton? - David Apr 18, 10:41 2
  - Correct. - spamlet Apr 18, 10:55
  - Not that I've ever heard. I think they just wanted every non-playoff team to have a shot. - Reagen Apr 18, 10:55
