Draft lottery

Are we gonna use the new system?

[SharksGM]

I assume so. We usually use the NHL's results so that there's nothing to be done at our end besides figure out who the 29th last team is... Not very hard. But the fun doesn't really start until next season.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Yep, we'll go with the NHL result, as usual. Plug in our teams for their teams.

Got it!

[IslandersGM]

As long as I sit in the same position as the NHL Oilers i stand no chance of getting that 1st pick.. grumble grumble Oilers might as well win the rest of the games this season so I have a chance. lol

You have an 11.5% chance at #1, a 33.5% chance at #3 and a 55% chance at #4. So the only player you have no chance at is Eichel, assuming McDavid's your favourite.

Do we move the final four to the bottom of the draft like the NHL?

Yes.

[IslandersGM]

I thought they all move to the bottom this year - for round 1 only.
