No in fact it is quite relevant.
Do you know who actually won the lottery to get that pick in play for the 8 losers who did not qualify for the playoffs?
It was the 9th seed Winnipeg Jets.
Look at the past several lotteries and while it is still a low chance but in 2017 Philly and Dallas jumped way up to get in the top 3. Carolina did in in 2018, Chicago and NY in 2019 and then the Jets/Rangers in 2020.
