So Habs will get 16 and 17th picks?
"A set of 14 ping pong balls are placed in a lottery machine, which allows for 1,001 combinations. Each team in the lottery is assigned a set of random four-number combinations. The worse a team's record, the more combinations they are assigned; so the team with the worst record this past season, the San Jose Sharks, gets 185, representing an 18.5% chance of winning the first lottery draw."I'm a computer engineer and i understand nothing of this shit.
That would be better and more exciting if they would publish a list of the combination before the lottery"A set of 14 ping pong balls are placed in a lottery machine, which allows for 1,001 combinations.

Teams are just hoping that one of their pre-assigned number combos gets pulled. SJ has 185 different, random number combinations that could be chosen.
I was hoping a Western Conf team would win the lottery.Best outcome from what was remaining.
Although a bad sign for hoping they would rebuild and trade us Horvat.
