The San Jose Sharks emerged as winners of the 2020 NHL Draft Lottery despite not taking part.

The San Jose Sharks didn’t participate in this year’s NFL Draft Lottery, but that doesn’t mean that they didn’t manage to come away as one of the event’s biggest winners.

The 2020 NHL Draft Lottery had the potential to be disastrous for Sharks fans.

Not only did they have the displeasure of seeing what should have been their first-round pick being used by the Ottawa Senators, but one of their key division rivals, the Los Angeles Kings had a good chance of receiving a high pick as well.
