I see the tank for McKinnon thread and I was wondering how the NHL will determine the draft order next summer?
Will it be an open lottery like the one for Crosby or is there another system in place?

If it is the same as 2005, every team starts with 3 balls, and has 1 taken away for every post season they've made, and every 1st overall pick they've had in the last 3 years. Nobody could have less than 1. Montreal would have 1 ball, and a 2% chance of winning the lottery.
