The date for the NHL Draft Lottery, which determines which team gets the golden opportunity to draft Connor Bedard, has been announced.
Gary Bettman made the announcement at the end of the GM Meetings, stating that the lottery will take place on May 8th. This event marks a significant change for the franchise that is awarded the ticket to draft Bedard.
For the teams that don't win, there are still top-notch players like Adam Fantilli, Matvei Michkov, Leo Carlsson, and Zach Benson who are worthy of being drafted first overall in other years.
