With just 11 days until the NHL runs its annual draft lottery, and the league’s regular season over, the odds are not really in the Buffalo Sabres’ favor.
The Buffalo Sabres finished the regular season with 81 points in 82 games, earning 49.39 percent of the possible points available.
The worst team in the league, the Toronto Maple Leafs, earned 69 points in 82 games – just 42.07 percent. Thus, they have the best chance at winning the NHL’s draft lottery.
Other teams with a chance include the Edmonton Oilers, who earned 70 points, and the Vancouver Canucks, who earned 75.
