Canes 2020 first-round scenarios: Post-Phase 1

With Phase 1 of the 2020 NHL Draft Lottery having concluded in the highest form of chaos last night, with the number one overall selection being designated to Placeholder Team E (RIP Winnipeg Jets), it now means that a Phase 2 will have to occur to figure out who is getting that coveted pick.

Phase 2 of the Draft Lottery will take place after the qualifying rounds are concluded, but before the first playoff round begins and will include the eight teams eliminated from the play-in rounds. All eight teams will have the same exact odds of winning the pick, ignoring regular season rankings for weighting.
