I am a Flyers fan and I am very dissapointed in their performance this year but hopefully next year we can get better with this.

The NHL draft is based on a weighted lottery system. The team that finishes last has the greatest chance of picking first but it is not guaranteed. For example here is a formula that helps the NHL choose the teams positions in the 2005 draft.
The Draft Drawing, a weighted lottery system, was used to determine the order of selection for all seven rounds of the Entry Draft. Under the weighted lottery system, the clubs that neither qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of the 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons, nor were awarded the first overall selection in each of the 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 Entry Drafts, had the greatest chance of receiving the first overall selection, 6.3 per cent.

Patriots 12-4 Brady continues to be between the superb in the corporation. They get Ty Warren and Leigh Bodden back from damage, between others. a variety of of youthful men were given large adventure this year. 6 options in the first 3 rounds advise Belichick can upload more suitable skills. This team will be a contender for an widely used. Jets 10-6 they have 18 loose brokers, a variety of of whom have become old and some who're looking for huge paydays. The Jets placed all their eggs in a unmarried basket this year and the window is final quickly. no longer equipped for the longterm. Their protection could keep them in video games, and Sanchez isn't a nasty QB so that they ought to contend. Miami, 8-8- with out a first rate QB, no longer going to be more suitable constructive than a .500 team. charges 5-11 nicely, only because they are the charges. a lot continues to be considered as we nevertheless ought to be sure how the draft and loose employer is going.

The worst team are not guaranteed the first pick in the draft. A few years ago they started a lottery like in the NBA between the teams who missed the playoffs. The worst team does have the best chance of getting that pick.

Used to be true, not any more. In previous years there were accusations that teams that weren't going to make the playoffs were deliberately losing games to finish last and get the first pick. Now there is a lottery among the non-playoff qualifiers.

I think It's a lottery system, with the last place team getting a 50% shot at the #1 pick.

No, but they have a better chance of getting the #1 pick. Every team has a chance in the random drawing, with the worst teams getting the best odds.

NO they don't. They have used a WEIGHTED Lottery in the NHL for a few years now. You can't move up more then 3 spots, I believe, and you can't fall more then 2, I believe. So yeah they will be up there but NOT GUARANTEED the top.

Non-playoff teams go into a weighted lottery system.
Check the CBA, pg 258.

Yes, they do. I think that's how the Quebec Nordiques got Lindros before he cried like a baby and got traded to the Flyers.
