Lottery is tonight @4:30 Mountain! Truth be told I'm naive about NHL Draft and it's process but it's time to learn. We have a 7.3 chance of #1. As far as draft prospects, I'm also clueless.
Tonight's the night: Which team will be awarded the top pick in the 2024 NHL Draft and the right to select Macklin Celebrini at No. 1? Will the Chicago Blackhawks win a second consecutive lottery after taking Connor Bedard last year? Will it be the team with the best odds, the San Jose Sharks? Will Utah get a jolt heading into its first year in Salt Lake City? No matter the outcome, there's no shortage of intrigue.
There will be two lotteries: One for the No. 1 pick and another for the No. 2 pick. A team can move up only 10 spots in the draft. For example, if the Minnesota Wild, the team with the 13th-best odds, wins the first lottery, they would be awarded the No. 3 pick.
