PrintVerus (by way of TSN thru the National Hockey League in cooperation with the NHLPA and several other ridiculous acryonyms) presents the 2009 National Hockey League Draft Lottery... Where teams have a 50-50 chance of "winning", but with only a 10 percent chance of that.
The percentage chance of being selected in the lottery is as follows, based on team finish:
- N.Y. Islanders: 25%
- Tampa Bay: 18.8%
- Colorado: 14.2%
- Atlanta: 10.7%
- Los Angeles: 8.1%
- Phoenix: 6.2%
- Toronto: 4.7%
- Dallas: 3.6%
- Ottawa: 2.7%
- Edmonton: 2.1%
- Nashville: 1.5%
- Minnesota: 1.1%
- Buffalo: 0.8%
- Florida: 0.5%
UPDATED: Tampa Bay has drawn the 2nd selection in the Entry Draft. The top five slots were unaffected by the draft lottery gimmick.
This is an open comment thread... Leaving remarks in general is allowed here as well as remarking about the draft, the lottery, the prospects and the playoffs.

Oh, hey hey Chris, how goes it?
For drama sake, that would really add to the drama in TB with volatility from ownership and the future of Vincent Lecavalier (Cassie will have a story about that later on tonight)

That and they never talk about team NEEDS
They make ONE shallow statement about how a top pick would help — and then focus on only the very top prospect. That’s cruel to the rest of the players coming out this year who have a chance to be drafted in the 1st round.
