As for 16, Seth Jarvis is my guy if he’s there. I don’t think he will be. If he’s not there, I like Noel Gunler and Rodion Amirov.
I’m almost positive that that’s not true. Per NHL.com: The odds for each losing team in the Qualifying Round for the first drawing of the Second Phase, determined by inverse order of regular-season point percentage:
So if we lose against Edmonton and one of the play-in loser picks lands in the top-3, we have the 2nd best odds of getting that pick at 20.4%.[TBODY] [/TBODY]

2020 NHL Draft Lottery procedure
"The odds for each losing team in the Qualifying Round for the first drawing of the Second Phase are 12.5 percent"
The article I was looking at on NHL.com said nothing about that. How the 2020 NHL Draft Lottery Works
If the article you posted is correct, that’s the biggest load of shit. Really stupid system if true.
The article you looked at came from the Kings NHL page.
The one i posted actually comes from NHL.com.
All in all, who really knows how this stupid lottery format works. It seems like a lot of people are confused on it.
The NHL should have just waited until the play in series were complete and then have all 15 teams in the lottery as usual. It makes no sense why they are doing it the way they are doing it.
It makes zero sense that a team like Toronto or Pittsburgh, who were playoff teams at the time the season was stopped, should have the same odds (if they lose the play-in series) as teams like us who were clearly not making the playoffs. f*** it, let’s win the Covid Cup.
The crazy thing is, whether NYR wins or loses their play-in series, they get a chance at a top-3 pick.
Depends on what happens on the 26th. If the bottom 7 teams get all 3 picks, then the lottery is finished and nobody in these play in series would have a chance at a top 3 pick.

“We want to gain new fans with the lottery. Let’s confuse the f*** out of them in the process.”

Yeah I have no idea WTF they’re trying to do or why they’re doing it this way. Makes absolutely no sense to me.
It would be hilarious if all three spots go to play in teams.
Hawks, Canes, BJs.... I could get down with that.
I think the system is stupid but it’s not because of this. There’s absolutely zero chance you’re getting an nhl lockerroom to buy in to tanking for a draft pick. A decent amount of those guys aren’t even gonna be on the team next year and are playing for contracts and spots elsewhere. They stand to lose a lot of money and in some cases NHL jobs by playing poorly. They also get bonuses for winning playoff rounds.There are two main reasons for doing the lottery this way. #1 Give teams in the lottery and out of the playoffs some clarity as to where they are picking. and #2 Creates some excitement with an event that will garnish the league some interest. The problem I see is if 2 of the top 3 picks are from the play-in teams might a team tank?
Coach could get orders from the front office to make the team lose. Give stars less minutes, make ineffective line pairings, etc. You don't have to actually tell the players "hey we're tanking".I think the system is stupid but it’s not because of this.

And a bad team that was badly coached may succeed in their thought of what they were doing was trying to lose in that case.Coach could get orders from the front office to make the team lose.

Edmonton will just throw out Manning.If the top pick belongs to a play-in team, Seabrook will be making an early return and playing 25 minutes a night.
Edmonton will just throw out Manning.
Sure, Oilers could potentially due some damage this year, but the thought of AL on McDavid's left is too enticing to pass up on.
