TSN will broadcast a 30-minute program, ’2010 LG NHL Draft Lottery’ on Tuesday, April 13, at 8 p.m. ET. Versus will also broadcast the program and live streaming available on NHL.com in the United States.
The National Hockey League Draft Drawing is a weighted system to determine the order of selection for the first 14 picks of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
Bill Daly, NHL Deputy Commissioner will be live in TSN’s studio to reveal the order of selection for the top picks in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
The National Hockey League Draft Drawing involves Clubs that do not qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, or the Clubs that acquired the first-round drafting positions of those non-playoff clubs.
The Club selected in the Draft Drawing may not move up more than four positions in the draft order as per NHL rules. Thus, the only Clubs with the opportunity to receive the first overall selection are the five teams with the lowest regular-season point totals, or the Clubs that acquired an eligible Club’s first-round draft pick. No club will move down more than one
position as a result of the Draft Drawing.
Under the weighted system, the Club with the fewest regular-season points will have the greatest chance (25%) of winning the Draft Drawing and will pick no lower than second. Based on team finish, the percentage chance of being selected in the Draft Drawing is:
30th place team – 25.0% 23rd place team – 3.6%
29th place team – 18.8% 22nd place team – 2.7%
28th place team – 14.2% 21st place team – 2.1%
27th place team – 10.7% 20th place team – 1.5%
26th place team – 8.1% 19th place team – 1.1%
25th place team – 6.2% 18th place team – 0.8%
24th place team – 4.7% 17th place team – 0.5%
The 2010 NHL Entry Draft will take place at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. The first round will take place on Friday, June 25 commencing at 4 p.m. (local time) and the subsequent rounds will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 26.
