I still don't understand why the NHL wouldn't just wait until after the qualifying round to do this.

That would make the most sense, but my guess is they are going for headlines and viewership.

Ratings for the nhl lottery order are typically 148th in its time slot, barely losing out to French-dubbed Brady Bunch.

Trying for the coveted 125th slot.

Moved the last few posts from the last topic to here, as today is important.... maybe?

2020 NHL Entry Draft - Never too early....

I still don't get the timing....

Go team A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H

Hope the NHL gets screwed for this dumb lottery format trying to get days of our lives ratings.

1st overall goes to team B.

2nd overall goes to team L.

3rd overall goes to team A.

4th overall goes to team C.

5th overall goes to team K.

6th overall goes to team H.

7th overall goes to team A..... again? Wait, oh.....

8th overall goes to team W, which shouldn't even be lottery eligible....

9th overall goes to team K.... again.... this is happening, isn't it?

10th overall goes to team S.

Chicago is on the clock for the first ten picks.

It took me 7 tries on the draft simulator for Chocago's letter to show up as winnerpf pick#1...It had the Sens wining it 4 times. from either theirbown orvthecSJ pick they own...Detroit wo it only 1time ...the very 2st try gave the win to Anaheim...

Anyway ...if Hawks get lucky and their current letter wins it ,we must hope they lose in the play in..

It would be weird.

The letter only matters if they don't resume play. Otherwise, they lottery off the pick again.

I think that would be very cool. The team plays with a lot of heart and the youngsters show a lot of promise. Hawks lose in a heartbreaker game 5 in overtime to the Oilers. Team shows that they can hang with the big boys and get a top 3 pick.

EDIT: Didn't realize they re-lotteried the pick. Disregard

 

[Kevin Musto]

I'm gonna laugh (and cry) if Team B jumps into the top 3. That was our pick...

 

[Malaka]

So maybe this is redundant but obviously they hold the second lottery after the qualifying round? If Montreal wins against the penguins, and we lose against the oilers, we become Team A right?

So it looks like all play-in losers would have an equal chance at a pick won by one of the play-in placeholders. I don't understand the rationale behind that.

Watch it be freaking new jersey.

I lost power so could someone keep me updated?

They're just just padding.

Detroit picking 4th and a letter team moved up. Sens and Kong’s remaining

 

[Crow]

Hahaha, suck it Detroit!

What happened?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Hawks just won the draft lottery!

I'm gonna punch a wall

This shit is so rigged.

They just did this to justify their phase 2 of the draft and and make people care about it.
