250Integra Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Will we get Patrick? Hischier? Screwed over again? Make sure you tune in this Saturday, April 29th as the Vancouver Canucks battle the odds to become the King of the Bottom-Feeders. NEW YORK -- The National Hockey League announced today the 2017 NHL Draft Lottery, used to determine the order of selection for the first 15 picks in the first round of the 2017 NHL Draft, will be held on Saturday, April 29 in Toronto. The results of the Draft Lottery will be announced shortly after 8 p.m. ET, during live coverage of the event on NBC, CBC and TVA. Coverage on CBC begins at 7:30 p.m., ET. The 2017 NHL Draft Lottery will consist of three drawings: the 1st Lottery Draw will determine the club selecting first overall, the 2nd Lottery Draw will determine the club selecting second overall and the 3rd Lottery Draw will determine the club selecting third overall. Participants in the Draft Lottery include the expansion Vegas Golden Knights, who begin play in the 2017-18 season, and all other Clubs that did not qualify for this season's Stanley Cup Playoffs (or Clubs that acquired the first-round picks of those non-Playoff Clubs). The Golden Knights will be afforded the exact same lottery odds as the team finishing the regular season in 28th place -- or with the third-worst regular-season record. They will be guaranteed no lower than the sixth overall selection. To accommodate the addition of a 15th team in the Draft Lottery, the odds for all other participating teams have been reduced proportionally from the odds utilized in last year's Draft Lottery. The allocation of odds for the 1st Lottery Draw of the 2017 NHL Draft Lottery is as follows: Non-Playoff Team (Fewest Pts. to Most) Odds Colorado Avalanche 18.0%Vancouver Canucks 12.1% Vegas Golden Knights * 10.3% Arizona Coyotes 10.3% New Jersey Devils 8.5% Buffalo Sabres 7.6% Detroit Red Wings 6.7% Dallas Stars 5.8% Florida Panthers 5.4% Los Angeles Kings 4.5% Carolina Hurricanes 3.2% Winnipeg Jets 2.7% Philadelphia Flyers 2.2% Tampa Bay Lightning 1.8% New York Islanders 0.9% * Vegas assigned same lottery odds as the team finishing the regular season in 28th place The odds for the remaining teams will increase on a proportionate basis for the 2nd Lottery Draw, based on which club wins the 1st Lottery Draw, and again for the 3rd Lottery Draw, based on which club wins the 2nd Lottery Draw. The 12 clubs not selected in the Draft Lottery will be assigned NHL Draft selections 4 through 15, in inverse order of regular-season points. The 2017 NHL Draft will take place at the United Center in Chicago. The first round will take place on Friday, June 23rd and the subsequent rounds (2 through 7) on Saturday, June 24th.

MeanSeanBean Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I took the day off work, I'm going to spend the day appeasing the universe for a chance the hockey gods shine down upon our cursed franchise. I'm not even kidding. You are all welcome, for the 2nd overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numb3r 16 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Calling an unfortunate 4th overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silky mitts Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Expecting the worst , so if we get top two it's a pleasant surprise not a expectation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BureMostExciting Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 "if" Canucks pick 2nd, I'd go with Hischier if he is not taken 1st. Then, if he's not, obviously Patrick. I prefer Hischier - he'll be a lot like a cross between Williams Nylander and Jamie Benn, guaranteed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBrashear Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Pretty much assuming we get 4th. That's what the odds tell us. Can't complain - 4th is a very high pick. But I'll be hoping we get lucky. If by chance we do win the lottery (specifically if we get Patrick or Nico) I think Vancouver will lose its collective minds.

DonaldBrashear Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Basically, here's all you need to know about the draft: 23.9% chance = 1st / 2nd place 76.1% chance = 3rd / 4th / 5th place In other words, we have a 23.9% chance of drafting Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier.
