Sans lottery the Rangers could in theory pick as high as 9th (Rangers lose, all teams with lower P% advance in qualifying round), stay at 13th (Rangers lose, no lower teams advance), or draft even later depending on if they advance in the playoffs. The Carolina pick can't be higher than 14th without some severe lottery luck and upsets in the qualifiers.

DET and OTT both slipped dramatically. OTT still is picking in the top 3, but DET! My God, was that a fall or what? Now there might be a good team that has a chance of getting Lafreni?re and LA with Byfield. With that 3rd overall pick though, SJ could've used it for a future cornerstone instead of giving that pick to OTT for an injury-prone defenseman and signing him for $11.5 MM for 8 years.

Rangers own Carolina's first... so either way they get a shot at #1 overall..............

 

I mean, there would need to be a ton of upsets either way.

Rangers can win the 1st pick if they lose in the first round and 3 of the 4 win their play-in series: Montreal, Chicago, Arizona, Wild and Jets. (Vancouver, Nashville and Calgary - I'm not sure)

Canes would need a bunch more upsets to be the 2nd worst record eliminated from the playoffs.

This isn't the case.

 

The Carolina pick the Rangers have is the lowest of the two Carolina 1st round picks (their own or Toronto's).

 

The second lottery they're doing is only for the first overall pick, and then they will sort losers by points percentage to determine the rest of the draft order. Toronto's pick is top-10 protected, however they can't possibly get a top-10 pick because of points percentage. If Toronto wins the second lottery, Toronto keeps their pick and the Rangers get Carolina's. If Toronto loses the second draft lottery, their points percentage prohibits them from drafting 9th or 10th, and the Rangers get the lower of the two Carolina-owned picks. If Carolina win's the lottery, they keep their pick and the Rangers get the Toronto pick.

They're doing a second lottery for teams who are eliminated. Even shot - 12.5% for all eight teams.

so it was only based on records if none won the lottery?
