DO YOU WANT ANTS!?
Like, draft lottery odds?
If so, then nope, just this season. After this, they're just another team.

I thought I read they were guaranteed some kind of lottery odds for a couple years? I've seen people mention that on HF too.

100% incorrect. Don't have a link but they re guaranteed now worst than 3rd overall odfds for their 1st 2 or 3 seasons at least.

what odds are you talking about?
[MOD]
if you mean the lotto---it will be based upon where they finish in the standings--like all teams

Yeah, I thought I read they were guaranteed a lottery spot their first few seasons. Can't see anything online about it right now though.

I also have an expansion draft questions.
How will the draft work? Will there be an order of teams that L.V has to follow?, will trades be allowed during the draft? For instance lets say everyone expects NSH to expose a fwd but say last min they expose a D man and LV picks that D man can Tor call LV before they make their next pick to try and make a trade? Or are all trades frozen before the draft then re opened after?

That was initially rumored to be the case, but the only draft that's been confirmed to have that is 2017. If there's others, they're unconfirmed.

I'm gonna say no to the bolded:
There'd have to be a trade freeze of some sort in between the lists submitions through to the selections.
There could be a flurry of activity before and after that freeze though with teams looking to move a player they fear they'll lose for nothing and on the flip side LV can wheel and deal players they've selected post picking them. McPhee has said he'll be holding auctions at that point. Only wrinkle being the player can't be traded back to the team he was selected from. I believe LV has to wait a calendar year to do so.

Sigh, not this again. This was a myth that got repeated a few times before it finally got clarified last offseason. This past lottery(the lottery for the season they did not play in) was the only one that they had guarenteed lottery odds for. All subsequent seasons their odds(or not being in there altogether if they make the playoffs) is determined by how they finish
Link, since I won't go around saying things are true without providing one...

Which was written, Jun 11th, 11 days before the above tweet which later corrected it, said they would, but that was wrong. Instead of people talking about it for 11 days and then realizing it was wrong they've been incorrectly talking about it ever since
