I didn't use the simulator at all. Because it doesn't have anything to do with the Flames this year. I couldn't care less who wins the draft lottery.

I still have an interest. I want it to be ANY team but the Oilers and Sabres. Especially the Oilers, that way they get neither McDavid or Eichel.

Can someone remind me how the lottery changes again for the 2016 draft?

I don't think they'll be able to do the countdown now with the new formula. If they did, as soon as they announce a team out of order from their finishing position you know who won the lottery anyways

Draft order for 2016 and onward will have the first 3 picks chosen by lottery instead of just the first overall

Still just the non-playoff teams?

Ha, haven't seen one of these draft lottery simulators on the internet since the Crosby draft! McDavid must be good!

Is that true? I seem to recall a live ball machine draw, but could be wrong. I recall Brian Burke's grumpy face when the Ducks ended up with second overall.

If memory serves the Oilers actually linked it from their website last year!

It was just envelopes, no live ball draw.
