Feel like Playing the Draft Lottery?
"PecaFan" has created a simple simulation program that lets you run your own NHL Draft Lottery.
For fantasy league owners, this same simulation allows you run various lottery drafts using different variables, if you are starting up a league of your own.
Just for kicks, I ran the simulation 20 times. The Canucks came up first once, and dead last twice. The Ranger$ also came in last once and first once.
Really, this whole exercise just goes to show you how random this draw really is. Your favourite team could end up anywhere from #1 to #30 very easily. I just hope the Canucks and Blues get the lucky bounce, so to speak.
