Yes, it was a 1 in 25 longshot for them to win all 3 lotteries.
The chances now are extremely low (under 1%). And with the switch next year to having a draw for the 1st 2 picks, it will be astronomical.

The Oilers actually lost the lottery in 2011 - but the rules prevented the Devils from moving up more than four spots.
