And it's not even close to a deep draft so we'll get an average player at best, and with our drafting record it'll be an average defenseman who we'll see in 2-3 years as a pick for the future.
The system was brought in to stop teams like the 2016 Av's from tanking.
Luck of the draw....
Shitty but at least the draft is weak...
That's Fine and all but optics are still skewed. The draft lottery should be tiered into three groups. Does anyone actually understand how the NHL lottery works? Probably not and there is a reason for that. They don't want you to understand it.
15th place to 11th place
10th place to 6th place
5th place to first place
15th can go no higher then 11th. 11th can do no better then where they finished and have the best odds to stay way there are but can do no worse then 15th. Same goes from 6th to 10th. Only teams 1 through 5 can land the first pick.
