2017 Draft Lottery

Yesterday was a big day for one team and possibility the biggest disappointment for another. The New Jersey Devils have won the draft lottery! The poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor Colorado Avalanche who had the worst finish in franchise history and one of the worst finishes in NHL history had a 18% chance to win the lottery which is more than any other team dropped back to 4th overall. There is one bright side for the Avs. This year's draft class isn't that good, but that doesn't mean Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier are bad, they're really good. Also the Flyers moved up 11 spots and will pick 2nd overall. The Stars also moved up (7 spots) and will pick 3rd overall. there is also Timothy Liljegren who is the top defense man in the draft so he's up for grabs. It's crazy to think that these top prospects will be on the Devils, Flyers, and Stars who are all just mediocre teams and now these average teams can be contenders once again. I will list the top 14 picks in the order of the draft. Will the Avalanche trade up? Who will the Devils pick first? Should the NHL keep using the lottery system? stay tuned....
