NHL Draft Lottery Is On Saturday

It's that exciting time of year again!

No, not the playoffs, it's the NHL Draft Lottery! Although, the Hurricanes have had about as much recent success doing well in the lottery as they have done making the postseason. Nada.

The NHL, in their infinite wisdom, has revised the format again this year. In an effort to keep teams from "tanking" (hello Buffalo and Edmonton), the odds have been changed so that the worst team in the league only has a 20% chance of winning the first overall pick.

This year Toronto will have the best odds at 20%, followed by Edmonton at 13.
