The draft lottery for the 15 teams not making the playoffs has been set and the Wild are locked in at the 12th spot (for now). This year’s lottery reveal was about as controversial as they get, with twitter absolutely blowing up over the “leaked” teams that were in the top three. I’m not here to choose a side but can the NHL do anything right? Even if that was the “luck of the draw” the NHL PR department took a serious hit and the fans across the world were not happy with them.
Nonetheless, Chicago getting the number three pick and having a less chance than the Wild just makes us all wonder if it’s a lottery pick or just given to top markets.
