Detroit Red Wings assistant will know NHL lottery fate before Ken Holland

Isn't the draft lottery live? so he will know for like 5 seconds before Holland(ie the time delay between what happens and what we see on TV)

No. The lottery itself hasn't been live (video of it has been published later).

The lottery is done, the envelopes containing the draft order have been given to Daly who reveals them to the public (and at the same time to the executives in the room)

Each team has another executive watching the lottery (Cleary for the Red Wings in this case). This is clearly for transparency, so every team knows the lottery was fairly done even if Oilers win it again.

No use complaining when you haven't experienced dropping 3 spots twice in a row. Let me tell you it's a very crushing feeling.

That sounds like a job you send the new guy on. ”Go watch some bingo bills then get locked in a room for a while”.

Lottery odds will be decided based on Elite Board Play.

Suddenly Detroit becomes favorites!

Here's video of the actual drawing from last year. I think Puck Daddy or Sportsnet had an article where they were also locked in that room. Every team sends a representative and they have to give up their cell phones before entering. The actual drawing is done 30+ minutes before it's revealed on TV. The reps who are sent to observe the drawing aren't allowed to leave the room until after the TV reveal.
