2010 NHL Draft Lottery Odds

The Draft Lottery Drawing for the 2010 NHL Amateur Entry Draft will be held Tuesday April 13th at 8:00 EST. It will be aired on TV on TSN in Canada. At this time the Draft Order will be set, and those teams who did not make the playoffs will find out if they have moved up or down in the order.

Teams can only move up 4 spots maximum (ie. only the top 5 teams have a shot at winning the lottery) and drop no more than 1 spot. So whoever finishes last has a 48.2% off winning the draft lottery.

48.2% - Edmonton Oilers
18.8% - Boston Bruins (from Toronto)
14.2% - Florida Panthers
