COL (van)
NJ (cgy)
WSH (wpg)

By my calculations

The first combo is 3, 8, 11, 12, belonging to VAN (3rd last in 2016). So Colorado wins the lottery with their own first. Congratulations to Josh and the virtual Avalanche fans.

The second lottery combo drawn is 5, 8, 9, 14, belonging to CGY in 2016, the 5th last team. So the Devils will pick second.

The third lottery combo is 1, 9, 10, 14, belonging to WPG in 2016 (6th last). So Washington will pick third. That makes the top 6:

1. COL
2. NJ
3. WSH
4. OTT via VAN
5. BUF
6. NYI

All other picks are unchanged. Congrats and commiserations, as appropriate.

Yeah baby! Back to back #1 picks!

Humbug

I updated the draft order page with the nearly-final draft order (the order of the final 4 picks of each round is still TBD).
