Of most importance Tuesday for the Wings, in terms of NHL news, were the details of the draft lottery to be held June 26.
And that also was mildly disappointing for the Wings.
There was rampant speculation earlier in the month about instituting a different lottery format, which for the Wings, would have given them an over 50% chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick — and at worst getting the No. 2 overall selection.
But that plan was scrapped, along accelerating the draft to early June — although the lottery was modified slightly from its current format.
