Bigger market team that has struggled to draw the last couple years, could use a big name like Seth Jones to help draw fans out to their new stadium.

That theory is sort of blown up by the fact that they had the greatest goaltender in the sports history, and currently have a $100 million former 50-goal scorer on their roster. I don't think Seth Jones will cause a Crosby-esque turnaround there.

The only way for that to work is having 1 of the 1001 combinations not assigned to any team, or the published percentages are wrong. I would certainly guess that neither are the case.

I would actually say that either could be the case. There would be little issue with combination 1-2-3-4 forcing a redraw. Or, it could well be that the odds are simplified for public consumption. Probably the former.
