NHL 2019 Draft Lottery: Details, No. 1 pick odds, top prospects​

For the last four years, the draft lottery has taken place during the first-round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The NHL announced last month that it is going back to the old way and holding it the night before the opening round begins — April 9th (NBCSN; 8 p.m. ET).

Per the NHL, here’s how it will work:

The 2019 NHL Draft Lottery will consist of three drawings: the 1st Lottery Draw will determine the club selecting first overall, the 2nd Lottery Draw will determine the club selecting second overall and the 3rd Lottery Draw will determine the club selecting third overall.

The odds for the remaining teams will increase on a proportionate basis for the 2nd Lottery Draw, based on which club wins the 1st Lottery Draw, and again for the 3rd Lottery Draw, based on which club wins the 2nd Lottery Draw.

The 12 clubs not selected in the 2019 NHL Draft Lottery will be assigned 2019 NHL Draft selections 4 through 15, in inverse order of regular-season points.
Via the NHL, the allocation of odds for the first Lottery Draw of the 2019 NHL Draft Lottery is as follows:

(Fewest Points to Most) Odds
Colorado Avalanche (from OTT) 18.5%
Los Angeles Kings 13.5%
New Jersey Devils 11.5%
Detroit Red Wings 9.5%
Buffalo Sabres 8.5%
New York Rangers 7.5%
Edmonton Oilers 6.5%
Anaheim Ducks 6.0%
Vancouver Canucks 5.0%
Philadelphia Flyers 3.5%
Minnesota Wild 3.0%
Chicago Blackhawks 2.5%
Florida Panthers 2.0%
Arizona Coyotes 1.5%
Montreal Canadiens 1.0%​

Let's see if this works.....there is absolutely no way that we win one of the lottery spots for 2nd time in 3 years. None.

Now, we wait.

Great, now the Oilers are gonna win the lottery. He who must not be named has no place in this thread. I blame you

 

[Chinatown88]

Dear Hockey Powers That Be,

This is just a plea from the tormented fans of the HF Flyers community. Please let the ping pong balls fall our way tonight. Please let us win the draft lottery and the 1st overall pick. Please give us a ray of hope in a dark world clouded by miasma. Please bless us with a solid head coach to run the team. Please don't let our vanilla GM do something stupid this offseason.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

For the first time ever, I tried a sim lottery. Beginner's luck I suppose for those who are pro-Hughes.

I can't say the J word out loud because that would **** everything up, but there is some reverse juju action going on here with that post. He is playing the juju (which is a different, separate J word).

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Holy moly the lottery is tomorrow? Love it. Let's just win it this year! Even though we got second two years ago we still haven't WON it and I feel that we are still owed it from the Hockey Gods because of 2007 when we suffered the worst year in franchise history only to win second prize at the draft and then have first prize dominate his way to multiple Stanley Cups and major awards. BRING ME JACK HUGHES!

 

[FlyguyOX]

Just simmed 3 times. FLA was in top 3 each time wtf.

 

[BiggE]

I can sacrifice a chicken to Cthulhu, whatever it takes.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I at least want the Flyers to stay at 10th. Soderstrom is someone in really looking forward to drafting.

 

[DaphneLion]

for 10 tries. I believe, dammit!

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Winning the lotto may be the only way of forcing UpChuck to keep the pick.

Man, I really hate his guts now He's probably just filling the void since Hak left, I guess.

Dave Scott is there to fill the void as well.
