So I'm not sure those exact odds are correct.
Close enough anyway.

As a side note, if New Jersey misses the playoffs, it's my understanding that the current plan is for the Devils to remain in the draft lottery in April for purposes of keeping the math right in terms of the odds. So, for example, if the Devils were to win the April draft lottery, their No. 1 overall pick would be taken over by the club that ended up No. 2 overall in the lottery, with every team behind them also moving up a spot as the Devils claim the 30th overall selection.
