Lose - have 11th best lottery odds and pick 11th if nothing changes with our pick or anyone ahead of us in the standings
Win - have 13th best lottery odds and pick 12th if nothing changes with our pick or anyone ahead of us in the standings

An OTL will move them ahead of the Coyotes and a win will move them ahead of both the Coyotes and Blackhawks.
I can't find this year's exact draft lottery odds, but last year, the 11th best odds were 3%, 12th were 2.5%, and 13th were 2%. With Seattle being in the lottery this season, those numbers will change slightly. Plus, the removal of Arizona from the mix will also slightly alter every team's odds. Finishing ahead of or behind Arizona will make a very small difference in the lottery odds, which either won't matter at all --- or will matter a lot.
