The NHL will hold their annual lottery draft on Tuesday April 9th. This will help determine the order of our bottom 6 teams for the draft. As usual, only the bottom 6 teams can move up or down depending on the results, and can move a maximum of 2 spots (ex. The 1st seed can only drop as far as the 3rd seed, and the 6th seed can only move up as far as the 4th seed). If a team or teams outside of the bottom 6 jump in to the top 6 picks, it will not affect the outcome.

The bottom 6 for our league are as follows:

14. Las Vegas
13. Vancouver
12. Edmonton
11. Montreal
10. Ottawa
9. New York

They will coincide with the bottom 6 NHL teams:

31. Ottawa
30. Los Angeles
29. New Jersey
28. Detroit
27. Buffalo
26. New York

So:

14. Las Vegas (Ottawa Senators)
13. Vancouver (Los Angeles Kings)
12. Edmonton (New Jersey Devils)
11. Montreal (Detroit Red Wings)
10. Ottawa (Buffalo Sabres)
9. New York (New York Rangers)

Good luck to all Tuesday!

And the top 6 are in...

1.Edmonton (NJ)
2.Las Vegas (COL/OTT)
3.Vancouver (LA)
4.New York (NY)
5.Montreal (DET)
6.Ottawa (BUF)
