Come April 30th, the order for the 2016 NHL Draft will be set.
And it will be a unique approach.
Beginning in 2016, the Draft Lottery will be used to assign the top three draft picks in the NHL draft. This is an expansion of the previous system in which the Draft Lottery was used to determine the first overall pick.
Under the new system, three draws will be held. The first draw will determine the NHL team selecting first overall, while the second and third draws will determine the second and third overall picks, respectively.
So, what are the odds?
