The National Hockey League announced today changes to its Draft Lottery, a weighted system implemented and utilized to determine the order of selection in the first round of the NHL Draft for the 14 Clubs not qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs (or the Clubs that have acquired the first-round drafting positions of those non-playoff teams).
These changes will be phased in over a two-year period, beginning with the Draft Lottery in 2015.
2015 NHL Draft Lottery
The odds of winning the first overall selection in the NHL Draft for the 14 non-Playoff teams will be adjusted to more appropriately reflect the current state of competitive balance in the League. This will result in a more evenly-balanced allocation of odds, with the 10 highest-finishing non-Playoff qualifying teams receiving higher (better) Draft Lottery odds than they received previously and the four lowest-finishing teams receiving lower (worse) odds. The revised set of odds will remain in effect year-to-year in the future.
New Odds Old Odds
1 20.0% 25.0%
2 13.5% 18.8%
3 11.5% 14.2%
4 9.5% 10.7%
5 8.5% 8.1%
6 7.5% 6.2%
7 6.5% 4.7%
8 6.0% 3.6%
9 5.0% 2.7%
10 3.5% 2.1%
11 3.0% 1.5%
12 2.5% 1.1%
13 2.0% 0.8%
14 1.0% 0.5%
2016 NHL Draft Lottery
Beginning in 2016, the Draft Lottery will be utilized to assign the top three drafting slots in the NHL Draft, an expansion over previous years when the Draft Lottery was used to determine the winner of the first overall selection only.
Three draws will be held: 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.
As a result of this change, the team earning the fewest points during the regular season will no longer be guaranteed, at worst, the second overall pick. That club could fall as low as fourth overall.
The allocation of odds for the 1st Lottery draw will be the same as outlined above for the 2015 NHL Draft Lottery. 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 11 Clubs not selected in the Draft Lottery will be assigned NHL Draft selections 4 through 14, in inverse order of regular-season points.

Pretty much the only video game I fire up my PS2 for. It's always in there. Feels good to play a few EPL games as Arsenal with Henry, Bergkamp, etc.
I like this. Lower odds of the Oilers getting another first overall pick.

Canucks will be a playoff bubble team, so blow a few games late in the season and they could end up with, say, a 5% chance at McDavid.
5% is pretty much their chance of winning a first-round matchup against a top-seeded team anyway.

David Odonkor could score from anywhere.
Excuse you.
That is not a wrestling gif. That is clearly Craig MacTavish therefore it is an NHL gif.

The Universe needs him back.
Thornton isn't our captain anymore, no one will be wearing the C or A's to start training camp. Will be decided throughout season.
welp. Not sure how this makes much of a tangible difference. Thornton will still be the guy the players are looking to in the room. Eh, hopefully this gives more guys a reason to speak up.
Top candidates for C imo:
Jumbo
Pavs
Vlasic

I am always glad to welcome a new member to the Cat Mafia.
I just really wanted to post that first pic because it makes no fucking sense :lol
I don't fuck about on Tinder. Let's Bang: The App.
I don't follow the CFL but just saw the standings and holy shit at that East-West disparity. This league has to be the new reigning champion of Western conference dominance. The team with the best record in the East is still worse than the team with the worst record in the West.
I think I remember hearing either the East only has 2 or 4 wins tops against the West this year as well.

@PollakOnSharks: Thornton on losing #SJSharks C: "Its a big honor and its a big responsibility so its a little strange when they take it away from you."
Cool, run the best player we've ever had out of town because you want to rebuild culture while wasting money on John fucking Scott and not actually fixing any of the problems the team has.

That San Jose locker room should be entertaining to say the least. Needs HBO 24/7 coverage.
