I was trying to see how the draft lottery works under the new CBA, so I googled NHL draft lottery 2013. It made me sad that the first search result was from the Flames official site.
In case anyone else is curious, though, any non-playoff team can get the #1 pick now, but the worst team still has a 25% chance of getting the first pick and is guaranteed to pick in the top 2. As long as we're one of the 3 worst teams, we're guaranteed to get a top 4 pick.
