-------------
Draft will be in Montreal on July 7-8. The league is shifting to a Thursday-Friday format to see if that helps with viewership before deciding if that'll be a permanent change. Although in the past, some of the reporters have complained that they have to rush from the NHL Awards show in Vegas to wherever the draft is being held aka they'd rather have the extra night to nurse a hangover.
Also this is the first year for the full slate of lottery changes. Teams can move up a maximum of 10 spots and only the top two spots will be determined via the lottery. The "team can only win twice in five years" starts and everybody is given a clean slate.
