Is the Draft Lottery Broken? Talking Hockey Debates | Episode #19: With COVID-19 affecting the season, the draft lottery takes a new shape. What we already know: the first overall pick will go to a team in the "playoffs". This could range from a team like the New York Rangers, to a team like Pittsburgh or the Leafs. Is this fair? Is this broken? That's exactly what we discuss on this week's episode as well as our general feelings about the draft lottery in other seasons. Three of us - Tie, Eric and Luke - think that it's fine the way it is, with some minor adjustments. Our local Sens fan though, thinks it's the worst system ever. Let's get into it! by Talking Hockey
