Placeholder Team E did the unthinkable at the 2020 NHL Draft Lottery, they won the first-overall pick at the 2020 Entry Draft. Thanks to Team E any team in the play-in round (like the New York Islanders) that loses their qualifying series will get a 12.5 chance to claim that first overall pick at a second draft lottery.
[If you want to know more about the second draft lottery see my FAQ on the draw.]
A pick that will likely be used to select elite level winger Alexis Lafreniere first overall.
The Isles, who are short on elite-level talent could certainly use Lafreniere to stay competitive for a number of years.
