Chris Johnston @reporterchris
The NHL is proposing changes to the draft lottery that would see:

* teams limited to no more than two lottery wins in a five-year period
* teams only allowed to jump 10 spots with a lottery win
* a reduction in the number of picks decided by lottery from three to two

Chris Johnston @reporterchris
The proposed changes were outlined in a memo circulated to clubs today and are subject to approval by the NHL's Board of Governors.

Adding to @reporterchris note: potential changes won't take effect until 2022 Draft, and previous lottery victories will not count towards a team's total.
