			Even if the flames were in the running, I'm sure the refs would find a way to screw them over

			I hope the Knights win and Avalanche and Canucks get bumped back as far as possible.  I'd love to see the tanking teams not rewarded.

			Does the addition of Las Vegas lower the odds of picking first for the last place team (compared to last year)?

Were those teams tanking or were they just that bad? Pretty sure the Canucks were just bad and they deserve/need a top 2 pick.

Yes, everyone's odds are slightly lower. Last year, Toronto had a 20% chance at first overall.

Playing Megna on the top line for half the season isn't tanking?
