Default 2017 NHL DRAFT LOTTERY, 5:30PM MT (NBC, Sportsnet, CBC and TVA Sports)


Quote:
The results of the NHL Draft Lottery will be announced shortly after 8 p.m. ET, during live coverage of the event on NBC, Sportsnet, CBC and TVA Sports. Coverage on Sportsnet and CBC begins at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Non-Playoff Team Odds

Colorado Avalanche 18.0%

Vancouver Canucks 12.1%

Vegas Golden Knights* 10.3%

Arizona Coyotes 10.3%

New Jersey Devils 8.5%

Buffalo Sabres 7.6%

Detroit Red Wings 6.7%

Dallas Stars 5.8%

Florida Panthers 5.4%

Los Angeles Kings 4.5%

Carolina Hurricanes 3.2%

Winnipeg Jets 2.7%

Philadelphia Flyers 2.2%

Tampa Bay Lightning 1.8%

New York Islanders 0.9%

* Vegas assigned same lottery odds as the team finishing the regular season in 28th place

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.
So I guess this is still a thing.

#### Vancouver

Even if the flames were in the running, I'm sure the refs would find a way to screw them over

I hope the Knights win and Avalanche and Canucks get bumped back as far as possible. I'd love to see the tanking teams not rewarded.

Does the addition of Las Vegas lower the odds of picking first for the last place team (compared to last year)?

Were those teams tanking or were they just that bad? Pretty sure the Canucks were just bad and they deserve/need a top 2 pick.

Yes, everyone's odds are slightly lower. Last year, Toronto had a 20% chance at first overall.

Playing Megna on the top line for half the season isn't tanking?

That's just Desjardins' incompetence
