Why? Their odds are pretty low, that would be a pretty unsurprising outcome.
Top 5:
1. Arizona
2. Buffalo
3. Edmonton
4. Ottawa
5. Detroit
The Philly pick is top 10 protected. If St Louis wins a lottery pick then they are most likely keeping itI wont predict the order but I think the top 3 will be 1 team that finished in the 1-3 range, 1 team that finished in the 7-9 range and 1 team that finished in the 4-6 range.
The most entertaining result for the forum would be;
1.Edmonton
2.NYI via Calgary
3. Philly via STL
Edmonton wins lottery.. ******** fans proceed to come to the Oiler board and flip out just like last time.
Scary defense right there if it becomes a reality. Even without Dahlin the Stars blue line looks like it'll be really good.Stars win it and trot out
Lindell-Klingberg
Dahlin-Honka
Heiskanen-Johns
on the blue line next year
Ok!1. (CGY) New York Islanders
2. New York Islanders
3. Edmonton
Fortunately, this isn't how the real world works.NHL can't have one of their top liked teams and biggest franchises near the bottom of the league. They will do everything to get them back to the top. I would not be surprised at all if the Hawks win a lottery pick.
if anyone wants to predict the powerball, ill take that too.

1. I hope Arizona, but itll probably be Buffalo
2. Chicago
3. Edmonton
...which is exactly why Chicago will win it.I didn't know it was protected. If there's a team that deserves a lottery win it's STL.
You do know the NHL has no control over the lottery right?NHL can't have one of their top liked teams and biggest franchises near the bottom of the league. They will do everything to get them back to the top. I would not be surprised at all if the Hawks win a lottery pick.
