The NHL Draft Lottery is tonight, but what TV channel is it on?

We’re in the thick of the NHL Playoffs, but there are a handful of teams that weren’t lucky enough to figure things out enough to make a run at a Cup. That’s why tonight’s NHL Draft Lottery is so important, as it could give a team the chance to start turning things around.

The Florida Panthers won the No. 1 pick a year ago and were in the playoffs this season, so anything is possible when you win the lottery.

Here’s a quick look at the odds each team has of getting the first overall pick as well as the lowest that they can possibly pick.

Obviously, this means the Edmonton Oilers will find a way to win the lottery and thusly screw up the next ten years of their franchise. That seems to be the cycle as they’re only slightly better than the turd of a basketball team in Philadelphia. That being said, the Leafs winning the first pick would be something that conspiracy theorists get super hot and bothered about, so it’s really a pick your poison type of situation as to what you want to be
