Thomas Townsend: First Overall Draft Pick, Positive Tests & Return To Play
- Thomas Townsend
The league explained how it would work if no season.....the bottom 8 of the "playoff" teams would go into the lottery.....no one else.....
"That would mean the next eight worst teams in the NHL would enter that second drawing: Montreal (.500), Chicago (.514), Arizona (.529), Minnesota (.558), Winnipeg (.563), N.Y. Rangers (.564) and Calgary (.564). Florida and Vancouver finished with the same points percentage (.565) in 69 games, but the Canucks had three fewer regulation wins, so one assumes they would be in the lottery drawing if Bergevin is accurate"
