Draft Lottery to be conducted Saturday, April 18
Winning Team to be Revealed in Televised Announcement on CBC, TVA Sports and NBC
The 2015 NHL Draft Lottery, a weighted system implemented and utilized to determine the order of selection in the first round of the 2015 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), will take place on Saturday, April 18 at 8 p.m., ET.
The results of the Draft Lottery will be revealed live on CBC and TVA Sports in Canada and NBC in the U.S. immediately preceding the start of Game 2 of the Penguins-Rangers First Round series.
In August 2014, the NHL announced changes to the Draft Lottery format. The changes included adjusting the odds of winning the first overall selection. The 10 highest-finishing non-Playoff qualifying teams will receive higher (better) Draft Lottery odds than they received previously with the four lowest-finishing teams receiving lower (worse) odds.

If we don't end up trading our other first, who is everybody interested in? I'm obviously looking at Konecny, but also Sprong and Svechnikov. I don't think Konecny will fall to 20th.

If somebody falls out of the top 10 that Murray values, go get him. Move up to 12-14 range and grab a star like when we traded up and grabbed Girgensons.

No, because Buffalo had the opportunity to get Gronk and badly needed a TE that year.

No to Carlo. I work with a contractor with that name. I call him a variety of things, including ****head and assface.

Is there a team in the 5-14 range that would see a handful of draft picks (late 1st, both 2nds, maybe one or two of the 2016 3rds) as a good enough return to move back? It obviously depends on the team and their draft order, and where the late 1st falls, but which non-playoff teams are in the most need to re-stock their prospect pool? I'm just curious which teams might be the best trade partners.
From what I've read, NJ, Carolina, Colorado, and SJ are hurting. Is the late 1st (say #20 for sake of argument), and both 2nds enough to move up to #6 (NJ)? Is the late 1st and #31 enough to move up to #10 (Col)? I wouldn't mind if Murray added another pick in either scenario to make it happen. Another pick in the top ten would almost certainly land a roster player (hopefully LHD for me), so it would be worth it.

Hard to predict team that will trade but I don't see any teams in the top ten trading back as far as our 2nd 1st rounder will fall. Hoping we get a team just outside top ten that wants to stock up on picks. I know the Kings like 2nd rounders. Maybe we can move into their spot...
You're finished. I'm putting you on a plane to Vegas.
I don't see where they to spend another high pick on a right-shot. Need a left-shot guy who preferably can run a PP.

There's a chance
But even if Eichel stays in school, so what. We'll get him eventually and he'll be awesome at hockey

As a Finn, I'm hoping this happens to Rantanen.
I'm with ya. I'd love this. But he'd have to fall a bit and then Murray would have to trade up 8-10 spots.

It's kind of funny that Saturday we are going to know who we are getting already. Last year we were almost certain that we'd have our pick of forwards and the consensus reached Reinhart by showtime...but you still had to wait and see with Florida floating those trade rumors and is Vancouver coming up and blah blah. Not this time. Lock it down and buy your jersey.
