Hey all,
The 2021 NHL Lottery will take place tomorrow (June 2) to confirm the lottery odds for a draft sooo wide open. There is no consensus #1 pick. The real life draft takes place on July 23 and 24th, and I am assuming our prospect draft will take place sometime a month after (that is up to the mods). This is probably the draft I am most excited about because of how many directions it can go.
Please let me know if I made an error(s).

- The bottom 8 teams that did NOT make the playoffs are the ones that get a chance at the lottery. The HTN league goes by the same lottery odds as the real life NHL lottery odds. The bottom 8 teams' lottery odds correspond with the placement of the bottom 8 NHL teams (see the chart)
- Any team in the real life lottery that wins from a spot past #8 does NOT win the lottery odds on here.
- With Seattle's inauguration season coming up, they have the same odds as the 3rd worst team (Devils) in the real life draft. However, no one gets the Kraken's odds. If the Kraken win a lottery spot, then nothing will change on HTN's end.
- If the real life Arizona Coyotes win the lottery, then there will be a redraw (and I suppose another chance for a bottom 8 team to win the draft).
