First it was rigger for the Habs... then the Oilers or Leafs... and now for the Rangers? LOL
I tend to think the odds of them rigging it at somewhere close to 0%.

If it could be, the Oilers would not have won the McDavid lottery. That wasn't in the best interest of the league. Nor would they have changed odds of winning after that.
OT, but I still think the lottery odds do not fairly reflect the overall parity of the league currently. I still don't know what they were thinking this year by making it possible for a potential top 10 regular season team to have a 12.5% chance of getting 1st overall though. Pittsburgh, with 40 wins and 23 losses should be nowhere near that pick. Neither should the Oilers for that matter.
