Brodie’s Breakdown: How the NHL Draft Lottery Works



Brodie Brazil breaks down everything you need to know about the NHL Draft Lottery and how the Sharks stack up.

  1. Because Sharks has the worst record (and last year as well), technically I don't think they could "win" the lottery, therefore the 2 years rule should not apply.

  2. “No single team will be able to advance in the Draft order by reason of winning a Lottery Draw more than two (2) times in any five (5) year period. This limitation will not affect a Club’s ability to retain its presumptive Draft position in any Draft Lottery, nor would it preclude the possibility of the Club moving down in Draft Order to the extent other Clubs advance by reason of winning the Lottery Draws.”

  3. Hey Brodie,
    High drama again to see more clearly what this off season holds in store for the Sharks. Looking forward to seeing how the lottery falls and the draft later this summer and free agency/trades.

  4. I know exactly how the draft lottery works, but just love watching any Brodie content so watching the video anyway

  5. Hey Brodie,

    Lot of talk right now about if we don’t get first overall that GMMG might move the pick for assets and/or to reach down to more like victor eklunds level in the draft

    Thoughts?

  6. Win, does it mean improve the position, or get first overall? Sharks are dead last, so they technically will not win anything.
    Reading official language: "No single team will be able to advance in the Draft order by reason of winning a Lottery Draw more than two (2) times in any five (5) year period."
    Technically, Sharks, getting first overall, would not advance; therefore, this rule will not be applicable.

  7. Hoping for the #2 pick. Next year has a better class and we don’t want to lose eligibility for the #1 pick next year.
