The frozen envelope is in and the first overall pick goes to the Pittsburgh Penguins. (Or Montreal Canadiens pick your own favorite Mary Sue)

It is
If Carolina gets the 1OA, we get the Toronto pick which will be no higher than 11OA.
If Toronto gets the 1OA, we get the Carolina pick, which will be either 14OA or 15OA.

If we beat Carolina, we still want the Leafs to lose, so we'll be guaranteed a pick between 11 and 15. If we lose, then obviously we all pray that we win 1st overall.

Yep. Honestly don't know why they did that??? If they had announced the Rangers had won I wouldn't have slept well for a few days

Wouldn’t it be...
Hurricanes win Lottery >>>>> Toronto owns their pick.
Rangers lose to Hurricanes or vise versa... Don’t we get Toronto’s pick?
Doesnt it mean we’ll have two pretty high top 16 picks?

Mr. Preachy
Hurricanes win lottery with their own pick = they pick 1OA and give us the TOR pick which can get no higher than 11OA, and lower if TOR beats CBJ.
Hurricanes win the lottery with the TOR pick = TOR picks 1OA and we get the CAR pick at 14/15OA depending on if PIT loses or not (only play-in team with higher PTS%), and can get lower if CAR beats us.

No. The Hurricanes have Toronto's 1st round pick, but it is top 10 protected. If the Hurricanes win the lottery, we get Toronto's pick because it won't be possible for Toronto to finish higher than 11th. If Toronto beats Columbus, then that pick will be somewhere between 16 and 31. It also means that we beat the Hurricanes, so our own pick will be somewhere between 16 and 31.
If Toronto loses the play in and then wins the lottery, they keep their pick and instead give Carolina their 2021 pick. At that point, we automatically get Carolina's pick, but they can't finish any better than 14th (assuming we beat them). If we don't beat them, their pick will be anywhere from 16-31.
We want Toronto to lose so that if we win, we get a pick in the 14-15 range. And if we lose, well, then we have a shot at 1st overall.

We want the Leafs to lose regardless. The earlier Carolina and Toronto lose the better. We don't want one finding their way to the conference finals because then we're picking 28-31 with that pick.

Mr. Preachy
My math might be wrong, but here are the pick scenarios for what the TOR/CAR picks will be. Let me know.
EDIT: NYR will pick 10-13 if they lose the play-in and don't get 1OA. If they win vs CAR, it will be 16+. Have not figured out non-CF pick range yet. Maybe tomorrow. Already in bed.

I hate this shit. I'm sure it's straightforward for some but for me it's needlessly complicated and just annoying.

It's 12.5%. Those odds are combining all 16 teams against their probabilities of winning the qualifying round. Every team that loses the qualifier has a 12.5% chance.
OK but what are the chances Rangers hit a lotto 2 times in a row?
Also make no sense that all those different teams(some very good teams) have same odds.
