EDM can GTFO because they've already got so many consecutive #1 picks.
CBJ is a hopeless destination.
NYI has Tavares and they're also a pretty hopeless destination.
MTL has a brighter future than TOR -- MTL could make the playoffs next year.
We need this! We've kept half the league afloat with revenue sharing. Sharing is caring. Give us something in return for this disastrously depressing season.

Maybe a stupid question, but what is the point of the dead combo?

That explanation sounds a little too simplistic to me, though....
You hit the nail on the head. There are 14 numbered balls and they draw 4. This yields 1,001 different combinations. They (independent firm Ernst and Young) ignores one combination (11-12-13-14) and assigns the remaining thousand combinations to the teams. The NBA uses the same procedure now (but with different percentages and rules regarding the winner).
Please. We Islander fans have gone through so much crap for the past (2) decades (way more than any other fan base). We need the 1st overall. The draft is the only way we can assemble talent...

Hopefully neither the Leafs or the Oilers win the lottery. I don't think there is much difference this year between picking 2nd or 5th.
Replace Leafs with Habs on my end, and I agree.. Obviously.
I truly feel nobody outside of Oilers fans/organization will be okay with them picking first again.
The 2012 NHL Draft Lottery is Tuesday at 8 p.m. EDT. There are 1,001 possible lottery combinations. One is dead and forces a redraw, so there are 1,000 valid combinations. Columbus, Edmonton, Montreal, the New York Islanders, and Toronto all have a shot at leaving the lottery with the No. 1 pick.
The odds of winning the lottery are as follows:
30th CBJ = 25.0% (250 combinations)
29th EDM = 18.8% (188 combinations)
28th MTL = 14.2% (142 combinations)
27th NYI = 10.7% (107 combinations)
26th TOR = 08.1% (081 combinations)
--------------------
25th ANA = 06.2% (062 combinations)
24th MIN = 04.7% (047 combinations)
23rd CAR = 03.6% (036 combinations)
22nd WPG = 02.7% (027 combinations)
21st TB = 02.1% (021 combinations)
20th COL = 01.5% (015 combinations) (Pick actually belongs to Washington)
19th BUF = 01.1% (011 combinations)
18th DAL = 00.8% (008 combinations)
17th CGY = 00.5% (005 combinations)
Columbus has the No. 1 pick going in...
Columbus keeps it = 48.2% (482 combinations)
Columbus loses it = 51.8% (518 combinations)
Question?
Why do you have the Leafs at the 5th overall pick.
Doesn't that belong to the Ducks.
Both teams ended up with 80 pts
Both are tied in ROW
Isn't the next tie-breaker face to face which the Leafs won their only meeting this season 5-3. That would give the 5th pick to the Ducks wouldn't it?

Head-to-head only applies if there is an even number of games between the two teams, with half being at each team's home venue. Anaheim and Toronto played each other once, nullifying head-to-head as a tiebreak. So it goes to goal differential, which Toronto loses.

Just found out just before you posted this.
Thanks for the reply anyways.
