Alex Burrows 14 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I was reading something and it made me think of this. If there is a lockout, how do they order the teams for the entry draft? Is it a random draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opmac Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The last lockout wasn't too long ago? They used a weighted lottery system. As a lockout cancelled the games of the 2004–05 NHL season, the draft order was determined by lottery on July 22, 2005. Teams were assigned 1 to 3 balls based on their playoff appearances and first overall draft picks from the past three years. According to the draft order, the selection worked its way up to 30 as usual; then instead of repeating the order as in past years, the draft "snaked" back down to the team with the first pick. Therefore the team with the first pick overall would not pick again until the 60th pick. The team with the 30th pick would also get the 31st pick. The new CBA reduced the draft to seven rounds in length, compared to nine rounds in years past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I think it is either a 30 team lottery draft or an alpabetical draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 An alphabetical draft would make no sense... Why are you punished for being in a city that starts with a V? I like what they did in 2005, they should do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal1 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Interesting to see that people are turning their attention to questions about what will happen AFTER the lock out instead of saying that a lock out would be a bad thing by those bad people at the NHL and especially that bad man who knows nothing about hockey.

NightHawkSniper Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I have little faith in them fixing their issues by Sept. 15th, maybe we can get MacKinnon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Wellwood Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 We'd get a really late pick if they weigh it the same way as before. However, Edmonton finally wouldn't get the first overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
