Lotto draft suggeston

[Hurricanes GM (Will)]

Here is a suggestion I would love to hear feedback on...

1. Have our entry draft match real life NHL lotto draft.. 

For example right now if we match it up it would look like this..

Slapshot      NHL team      1ST pick % 
MIN       =         ARI                   18%
VAN      =         BUF                  12.5%
DET      =         OTT                   10.5%
TOR      =         VAN                   9.5% 
VGK      =         MTL                   8.5% 
OTT      =         EDM                   7.6% 
ARI        =        NYR                    6.7% 
PHI       =        CHI                      5.8% 
CBJ       =        DET                     5.4% 
WPG     =        CAR                     4.5%
NJ         =        NYI                      3.3% 
CAR      =        FLA                      2.7% 
SJS       =        STL                      2.2%
BUF       =        CGY                     1.8% 
NSH      =        COL                      1.0%

In this example I have a 2.7% chance to get #1 pick but I end up were FLA ends up in real life... 

This is not my original idea I borrowed it from another league. This I think would help a little to prevent tanking- Give non-playoff teams something to look forward to  -  keep GM's More engaged as the Lotto show is normally In April -  Is the most fair and realistic system In my opinion

I like this. We could do it on random.com or something like that. We could stream it on Facebook live or something

[Golden Knights GM (Andy)]

Yes Yes Yes
This idea!!! I’m all for it.
Approve.

[Golden Knights GM (Andy)]

Ps. If your team sucks that’s fine, work on making it better.
But tanking is just poor sportsmanship.
We should always have to dress a full roster. Just like IRL. No team ices 7 forwards and 5 defencmen with no goalie? Just saying.

[Blue Jackets GM (Andy)]

I like the sound of this. Always tried to think of a way to have something like this but never knew how the whole lottery system worked (Just hope I don't end up hoping Detroit win the lottery draft as don't want our rivals picking up Dahlin!)

[Avalanche GM (Robert)]

sounds good

Weather we decide to vote on this for this year or wait for next I am gonna run the Lotto draft system I proposed just so everyone has a visual to see if they like it or not.... The lotto draft is Sat April 28th and says it will be aired live on both CBC and NBC. The lotto draft uses ping pong balls to pick the 1st 2nd and 3rd pick overall so the most a team could drop is 3 spots (ie: the worst Ryan could drop is from 1st to 4th pick)... We match our teams with NHL teams that finishes in the same position. Once the NHL runs there Lotto draft (April 28th ) and determines drafting postion your team will pick in the same position as were the NHL team you matched with ended up. Lotto draft is only for non playoff teams. 

Standings	Slapshot Team	=	Real Life NHL team	Odds At 1st pick
31	Wild (Ryan)	=	Sabers	18.5%
30	Canucks (Wildchild)	=	Senators	13.5%
29	Red Wings (Jeremy)	=	Coyotes	11.5%
28	Leafs  (Jestorx)	=	Canadiens	9.5%
27	Golden Knights (Andy)	=	Red Wings	8.5%
26	Senators (McBitter)	=	Canucks	7.5%
25	Coyotes (Mike)	=	Blackhawks	6.5%
24	Flyers (Wes)	=	Rangers	6%
23	Blue Jackets (Andy)	=	Oilers	5%
22	Jets (Sanders)	=	Islanders	3.5%
21	Devils (Kir)	=	Hurricanes	3%
20	Hurricanes (Will)	=	Flames	2.5%
19	Sharks (Open)	=	Stars	2%
18	Sabres (Sam)	=	Blues	1.5%
17	Predators (Steve)	=	Panthers	1%

[Maple Leafs GM (Tiago)]

Really like this idea.

this is a cool idea, would also be a nice little caveat throwing in the IRL NHL a little bit

[Avalanche GM (Robert)]

good idea

Sounds good to me

[Wild GM (Jonathan)]

Man, you guys have allot of patience to come up with this stuff!
